Types Of

Sleep-Related Treatments

We provide a range of conservative, sleep-related dental care options tailored to your specific anatomy and neuromuscular needs. If you are struggling with poor sleep, we can help you get an at-home sleep test to determine whether an airway issue is causing your distress. If it is determined that you have sleep-disordered breathing or apnea, we can help you get the care you need to breathe easier without a CPAP.

Neuromuscular Sleep Appliances

We utilize advanced, FDA-cleared devices, specifically the ProSomnus EVO, to gently support your airway while you rest. These neuromuscular sleep appliances are precision-fitted to keep your jaw in its optimal resting position, ensuring comfortable breathing without creating unnecessary jaw tension.

Snore Therapy With Solea Sleep

If loud snoring is disrupting your rest or your partner’s sleep, we offer gentle snore therapy using our advanced laser dentistry technology. This quick, minimally invasive treatment tightens the tissues in the back of your throat to reduce the vibrations that cause snoring.

Tongue-Ties And Breathing

Sometimes, restricted oral tissues can affect your airway and healthy breathing. We provide evaluations and treatments, including frenectomies, to release tongue-ties and support proper breathing function in infants, children, and adults after adequate preparation with myofunctional therapy.
