Dental Sleep: We Just Want to Help Save Lives
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) goes beyond occasional snoring or restless nights. It’s a severe condition that poses a daily threat to your health. Untreated OSA leaves you feeling exhausted, and it increases your risk of heart complications and accidents due to its cycle of interrupted breathing and lowered oxygen levels.
At Complete Dental Arts in Newnan, Georgia, Charley Cheney, DMD, and the team do more than improve smiles. We’re here to save lives through innovative dental sleep solutions.
Don’t ignore sleep apnea
When breathing stops repeatedly during sleep, your body works overtime to restore oxygen. Sleep apnea causes the cardiovascular system to work harder and increases the risks for high blood pressure, stroke, or heart attack.
Beyond the physical risks, sleep apnea affects your daily life, causing fatigue, poor concentration, and mood swings.
The role of dental sleep appliances
Many people associate sleep apnea treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, but these devices aren’t the only option.
Dental sleep appliances offer a discreet and effective alternative to CPAP machines for individuals who have mild to moderate OSA. Sleep appliances gently reposition the jaw or tongue to keep your airway open during sleep.
Unlike bulky CPAP machines, dental appliances are portable and easy to use, making them ideal for those who struggle with traditional therapy. Whether you’re home or traveling, these appliances provide relief without the inconvenience of masks, hoses, or loud machines.
How we help people reclaim their sleep
Our team starts by identifying the severity of your condition and assessing whether a dental appliance is right for you. Then we design a custom-fit device to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
The process doesn’t stop at delivery. After you have your sleep appliance, we monitor your progress over time and adjust the appliance if needed to help you achieve better sleep, improved health, and a higher quality of life.
Benefits of OSA treatment
Proper treatment for OSA can significantly improve energy levels, focus, and your overall well-being. We’ve heard many of our patients say they feel like a “completely different person” once their sleep apnea is treated.
More importantly, treating OSA reduces your risk of life-threatening complications by protecting the heart and restoring the body’s natural rhythms.
