How We Can Help You Sleep Better

Ballston Spa, NY, dentist treats sleep apnea and snoring

Getting proper quality rest at night can help improve your overall health, including your physical and mental well-being. Disorders such as chronic snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can disrupt your nightly cycle and can lead to tiredness, irritability, and many other side effects. Your team at the Integrative Sleep Center in Ballston, NY, can help diagnose the disorder that is affecting your rest and find a treatment that can help relieve your symptoms.

Helping You Stop Snoring

Snoring is a loud, harsh sound you make at night when your breathing airways are narrowed or blocked. Many people are unaware that they snore or ignore the problem because it does not seem like a serious concern. However, when you snore at night, it could wake you or your spouse up, which can disrupt your sleep cycle and lead to poor quality of rest. In the mornings, this can lead to fatigue, irritability, and other side effects. Untreated snoring in the long term can also lead to many health complications, including high blood pressure and heart problems. If you have been told by your spouse or other family member that you snore, talk to our team as soon as possible to get started on a diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

Relieving Sleep Apnea Troubles

Obstructive sleep apnea happens when your airways are blocked, causing you to periodically stop breathing throughout the night. This disorder can disrupt your quality of rest and can lead to major health issues in the future if it is not treated promptly. In many cases, your loud, frequent snoring could be a warning sign of sleep apnea. Our team can help diagnose and treat the disorder so you can protect your long-term health. You may be able to help relieve some symptoms on your own by losing weight or wearing nasal strips. We can help treat your condition with oral appliances or breathing devices so you can sleep better.

CPAP Machines And Oral Appliances

When it comes to treating these disorders, there is no one-size-fits-all option. Some patients may see relief from their sleep apnea with the help of a CPAP. A CPAP includes a mask and tube that you wear at night to keep continuous airflow while you rest. This machine helps many people improve their sleep disorders, but some patients may find them uncomfortable or claustrophobic. We may also offer an oral appliance to treat your condition. The appliance fits similar to a mouthguard and helps keep your airways open at night. To learn more about your options, talk to your dentist today.
