Sleep Apnea

Are you struggling with restless nights and daytime fatigue? You might be one of the millions of Americans suffering from sleep apnea. At McDowell Smile Life Dentistry, Dr. Rouhani and Dr. Ranjbar offer specialized sleep apnea care to help you reclaim restful nights and energized days. Our dentists work alongside sleep specialists to provide comprehensive treatment options tailored to your unique needs.

While many people are familiar with CPAP machines for sleep apnea treatment, we offer a comfortable and effective alternative: oral appliances. These custom-fitted devices are designed to:

• Keep your airway open during sleep
• Prevent snoring and breathing interruptions
• Provide a less intrusive treatment option compared to CPAP machines

Our oral appliances are:

• Custom-made for your mouth
• Comfortable and easy to wear
• Portable and travel-friendly
  Silent, unlike CPAP machines
• Easy to clean and maintain

Dr. Rouhani and Dr. Ranjbar will work with you to determine if an oral appliance is the right choice for your sleep apnea treatment.

Recognizing the signs of sleep apnea is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment. Common symptoms include:

• Loud, chronic snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Daytime fatigue and sleepiness
• Morning headaches
• Difficulty concentrating
• Mood changes or irritability
• Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
• Insomnia or restless sleep

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a sleep apnea specialist or a dentist experienced in sleep apnea treatment, like Dr. Rouhani or Dr. Ranjbar.

Untreated sleep apnea can have serious consequences for your overall health and well-being. Potential risks include:

• Increased risk of heart disease and stroke
• High blood pressure
• Type 2 diabetes
• Depression and anxiety
• Liver problems
• Complications with medications and surgery
• Impaired work or academic performance
• Increased risk of motor vehicle accidents due to fatigue

By seeking treatment, you’re not just improving your sleep — you’re investing in your long-term health and quality of life.

At McDowell Smile Life Dentistry, we offer comprehensive sleep apnea screenings. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Medical History Review: We’ll discuss your symptoms, sleep patterns, and overall health.
2. Physical Examination: Dr. Rouhani or Dr. Ranjbar will examine your mouth, throat, and neck for physical indicators of sleep apnea.
3. Sleep Study Discussion: We may recommend a sleep study, either at home or in a sleep lab, to confirm the diagnosis and severity of your sleep apnea.
4. Treatment Options: Based on your results, we’ll discuss treatment options, including oral appliances and lifestyle changes.
5. Custom Fitting: If an oral appliance is recommended, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted device.
6. Follow-up Care: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your treatment is effective and make any necessary adjustments.
