Find Help Here For Your Sleep Apnea in Waco

Get a Better Night's Sleep

Sleep apnea in recent years, over the last five to 10 years, there have been so many studies on how detrimental sleep apnea is for overall systemic health. Really what's been considered the gold standard in treating sleep apnea is the CPAP machine, but not everybody can tolerate a CPAP machine and not everybody necessarily needs one.

So dentists, since we work with the oral cavity so much, we're the place to go to to get an oral sleep appliance. The way they work is they essentially just move your lower jaw forward some and it opens up the patient's airway, so when they're sleeping the air goes down through their pharynx and airway a lot smoother instead of it being obstructed.

Some patients will continue to use a CPAP machine and an oral appliance, but it's also really effective in treating snoring. We've had a number of spouses that have sang its praises for getting their husband or wife to stop snoring, and everyone is getting a lot better sleep and they feel more rested and they're healthier because of it.

  • Sleep better and wake up feeling rested
  • Feel more alert and focused at work
  • Reduce or eliminate mood swings
  • Stop snoring so you and your bed partner both sleep better
  • Prevent serious health concerns

Don’t let another night go by without getting help. Call us today at 254-401-0129 to schedule your sleep apnea consultation. We’re located on Cobbs Drive, not far from Shipley Do-Nuts.

Put an End to Your Sleep Apnea Problems

Sleep apnea symptoms do more than just disrupt your sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common kind of sleep apnea, can contribute to a number of serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and depression. That’s why it’s better to seek sleep apnea treatment now rather than later. Our treatment can improve your quality of life and potentially help you live longer.

Sleep apnea treatment from Starr General Dentistry can help you avoid the need for a bulky CPAP machine. We’ll fit you with a simple oral appliance that will minimize sleep apnea symptoms by moving your lower jaw slightly forward. This movement will help keep your airway open while you sleep, as obstructive sleep apnea is caused when the tongue and other soft tissues in your throat relax and block your air passages.

The result will be more restful sleep as well as more productive days. In addition, since snoring is caused by air moving across those soft tissues, you’ll snore less or not at all. Your bed partner will be grateful for your treatment!

Get the effective help you need for Waco sleep apnea by calling Starr General Dentistry today at 254-401-0129. You can also schedule an appointment for sleep apnea help or for your next regular checkup.

Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which someone stops breathing when they fall asleep. For people with this condition, those stoppages can happen hundreds of times every night. To treat this, you need to find a way to keep breathing. For people with obstructive sleep apnea (the most common form of this disorder), we can help by making a special oral appliance that you wear while you sleep.

What are sleep apnea symptoms?

The most common symptoms are loud and persistent snoring and breathing stoppages. It’s likely other people will be more aware of them first. Morning headaches and waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat also can be signs of sleep apnea. Many people with this condition feel tired or sleepy throughout the day too. Other symptoms include difficulty staying focused and becoming irritated easily

Why should sleep apnea be treated?

Sleep apnea can lead to sleep deprivation. It also places your body in a state of stress when it should be resting and recovering. People with sleep apnea also have an increased risk of other health problems including, but not limited to, high blood pressure, heart attacks, cardiovascular disease, and strokes. Sleep deprivation from sleep apnea also leaves you more likely to be involved in a car accident.
