Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment

Quiet nights and real rest — without a CPAP machine.

Loud snoring, gasping awake, and waking up exhausted are more than annoyances — they're classic signs of obstructive sleep apnea. Our dental sleep apnea and snoring treatment in Centennial, CO uses a custom oral appliance that holds your airway open while you sleep: no mask, no hose, no machine humming on the nightstand.

How a Dental Appliance Treats Sleep Apnea

In obstructive sleep apnea, the tongue and soft tissues collapse into the airway during sleep — MedlinePlus's sleep apnea guide explains the warning signs. A mandibular advancement device gently holds your lower jaw slightly forward, keeping the airway open all night.

Custom-fitted from digital impressions — nothing bulky or boil-and-bite.
Silent, portable, and travel-friendly: it fits in a shirt pocket.
Effective for snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Oral Appliance vs CPAP

Comfort: no mask, straps, or air pressure — just a small appliance most patients adjust to within days.
Compliance: appliances get used because they're easy; an unused CPAP treats nothing.
CPAP-intolerant patients: if you've abandoned a CPAP, an oral appliance is the standard next option for mild-to-moderate cases.
Works with your physician: we coordinate with your doctor or sleep study so treatment fits the diagnosis.

Can a dentist really treat sleep apnea?

Yes — dentists trained in dental sleep medicine provide oral appliance therapy for snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea, coordinating with your physician's diagnosis.

Is an oral appliance as good as CPAP?

CPAP remains the gold standard for severe apnea, but for mild-to-moderate cases — and for anyone who can't tolerate CPAP — a custom oral appliance is an effective, guideline-supported alternative.

Will it stop my snoring?

For most patients, yes. By holding the airway open, the appliance addresses the vibration that causes snoring — partners usually notice the difference the first week.

Does insurance cover a sleep apnea appliance?

Often through medical insurance rather than dental, since apnea is a medical diagnosis. We help with the paperwork and give you a clear written quote before starting.
