Sleep Apnea
At Harris Legacy Dentistry in Warrenton, we are proud to manufacture sleep apnea devices (oral or mandibular devices) for our patients experiencing sleep apnea. Before scheduling an appointment with Harris Legacy Dentistry, contact your medical insurance company for reimbursement/pricing information.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
A sleep disorder that causes repeated awakenings that lead to significant daytime drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating, sleep apnea detrimentally affects a patient’s sleep habits and overall health. The American Medical Association reports that while approximately 30 million Americans have sleep apnea, a mere six million sufferers have been officially diagnosed.
How Harris Legacy Dental Can Help
We begin with an initial consultation and evaluation of your oral and overall health. Based on our findings, we may recommend using dental appliances or oral mandibular advancement devices that move the lower jaw forward and/or prevent the tongue from blocking the throat during sleep. Our team manufactures the dental/mandibular devices in-house to properly fit your mouth. Before scheduling an appointment, please contact your medical insurance provider for coverage options. For severe Sleep Apnea, a consultation and "nighttime sleep test" with a medical doctor may be necessary to determine the best treatment, such as a CPAP machine.
What Are The Benefits Of Sleep Apnea Devices?
Treatment can help you feel more rested throughout the day while also providing relief from snoring and other sleep apnea-related symptoms. It can also improve your overall well-being by improving your quality of life and reducing the systemic risks associated with untreated sleep apnea.
