What is Sleep Apnea?

At Aurora Dental Studio in Aurora, ON, we recognize the impact that sleep apnea can have on your overall health and quality of life. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and potential health risks. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea or suspect you may have it, we offer effective sleep apnea treatment options to help you achieve restful nights and improve your overall health.


Sleep apnea is a condition in which a person's breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open. This results in brief pauses in breathing, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and potential health consequences. Sleep apnea can cause symptoms such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating.

How Aurora Dental Studio can help

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy: CPAP therapy is a commonly used treatment for sleep apnea. It involves wearing a mask over the nose or mouth during sleep, which delivers a constant and steady stream of air pressure to keep the airway open. CPAP therapy effectively prevents the airway from collapsing and ensures that oxygen reaches the lungs. By using CPAP therapy, patients experience improved sleep quality, reduced snoring, and alleviation of other sleep apnea symptoms.


Oral Appliance Therapy: Oral appliance therapy is an alternative treatment option for sleep apnea, particularly for individuals who find CPAP therapy uncomfortable or cumbersome. Oral appliances are custom-made devices that are worn in the mouth during sleep. They work by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open and reduce the risk of airway obstruction. Oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable and portable solution for sleep apnea treatment, allowing patients to experience improved sleep and enhanced quality of life.


Reduction of Health Risks: Sleep apnea is associated with a range of health risks, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. By effectively treating sleep apnea, these health risks can be reduced or even eliminated. Sleep apnea treatment helps to stabilize blood pressure, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of developing other chronic conditions. By addressing sleep apnea, you can protect your long-term health and well-being.


Enhanced Sleep Quality: One of the primary goals of sleep apnea treatment is to improve sleep quality. Sleep apnea disrupts normal sleep patterns and prevents you from getting restorative sleep. With effective treatment, such as CPAP therapy or oral appliance therapy, you can experience improved sleep quality and wake up feeling more refreshed and energized. Treating sleep apnea allows you to enjoy the benefits of restful sleep, including improved focus, mood, and overall cognitive function.


Reduced Daytime Sleepiness: Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common symptom of sleep apnea, often affecting daily functioning and quality of life. Sleep apnea treatment helps reduce daytime sleepiness by improving sleep continuity and ensuring adequate oxygen supply throughout the night. By addressing sleep apnea, you can feel more alert, focused, and productive during the day, enhancing your overall quality of life.
