Sleep apnea affects millions of Americans, yet many remain undiagnosed.
Your journey to better sleep begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Jankowski and our team will conduct an in-depth consultation to understand your symptoms and sleep patterns. We offer take-home sleep tests that you can use in the comfort of your own bed, which provide us with valuable data about your sleep quality and any potential disorders.
Your sleep test results are analyzed by medical doctors who specialize in sleep and airway conditions. They will provide a detailed report, including a diagnosis if a sleep breathing disorder is detected. Dr. Jankowski will review these findings with you and discuss the most suitable treatment options.
If you're diagnosed with a sleep breathing disorder, we can create a special oral appliance tailored to your needs.
These devices are designed to keep your airway open while you sleep, and are often more comfortable and convenient than a CPAP machine.
Oral appliances offer a more comfortable and user-friendly alternative to CPAP machines for treating sleep apnea and snoring. Unlike the CPAP's mask and hose, oral appliances are compact, fitting inside the mouth to gently adjust the position of the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. This simplicity in design eliminates the discomfort and inconvenience associated with wearing a mask, making it easier for patients to adhere to their treatment every night.
The compact size and portability of oral appliances make them an ideal solution for patients who travel frequently. CPAP machines require a power source and special care during transport, while oral appliances can easily fit into a small carrying case. This allows patients to maintain their sleep apnea treatment regardless of where they are.
Oral appliances provide a significantly quieter solution to sleep apnea and snoring, ensuring that both you and your partner can enjoy a more peaceful night's sleep. By eliminating the need for a loud CPAP machine, this treatment option removes one of the common barriers to a restful night for both you and your partner. Both you and your partner deserve to sleep soundly.
Snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that requires medical attention.
At Sunrise Dentistry, diagnosing sleep disorders begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms and medical history. Dr. Jankowski may recommend a take-home medical sleep test, which allows you to sleep in your own bed while the device monitors various physiological parameters. This non-invasive test is crucial for providing an accurate diagnosis and helps us tailor a treatment plan specifically designed to address your needs.
Sunrise Dentistry offers a variety of personalized treatment options for sleep apnea, with a focus on non-invasive solutions. One of the most effective treatments is the use of customized oral appliances. These devices work by slightly adjusting the position of your jaw or tongue to maintain an open airway throughout the night. Dr. Jankowski specializes in fitting these appliances to ensure they are both effective and comfortable, providing relief from sleep apnea symptoms and improving your overall sleep quality.
Yes, the oral appliances we offer are specifically designed for comfort and effectiveness. Each appliance is custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, which minimizes discomfort and maximizes the appliance's efficacy. Dr. Jankowski will provide detailed instructions on how to use and care for your appliance, and is always available to make adjustments if needed. Most patients quickly adapt to wearing the appliance and notice significant improvements in their sleep quality and energy levels.
If you're experiencing symptoms of a sleep-related breathing disorder or if you’re simply looking to improve your sleep quality, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jankowski at Sunrise Dentistry. During this initial appointment, we will discuss your health history, current symptoms, and any concerns you may have. If a sleep disorder is suspected, we may conduct a take-home sleep test to better understand your condition. Based on these results, we'll discuss the most appropriate treatment options and create a personalized plan to help you achieve restful sleep.
The time it takes to see results from using an oral appliance can vary depending on the severity of your condition and how consistently you use the appliance. Many patients notice improvements in their sleep quality within the first few weeks of regular use. Dr. Jankowski will monitor your progress closely and make any necessary adjustments to the appliance to ensure optimal effectiveness. Continued use is crucial, and regular follow-up appointments will help ensure that the appliance remains comfortable and effective long-term.
