Sleep Apnea Treatment in Nashville TN

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you may be suffering from a sleep disorder known as sleep apnea.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive (OSA), which happens when your tongue and soft tissues block your airway while you sleep. The lack of oxygen signals your brain to wake you to breathe, and even though you may not realize it, this can happen multiple times a night, even hundreds of times in severe cases.  

When you’re not getting the rejuvenating sleep you need at night, it contributes to chronic health problems, can affect your focus and concentration during the day, and may significantly impact your quality of life.

Why You Need a Good Night’s Rest

Sleep is so essential for our bodies and minds to function properly. Here are some reasons you need to reclaim your rest if you suffer from sleep apnea.

Physical Health

Sufficient sleep helps support your immune system and gives your body time to rejuvenate during the night.

Mental Health

Getting a good night’s rest helps clear your mind, reduce stress, avoid brain fog, and improve relationships.

Daily Performance

You’ll be more effective at your job and performing daily tasks if you get enough restorative sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

We take sleep apnea seriously and offer effective, non-invasive treatment options to help you achievecouple sleeping in bed soundly | sleep apnea dentist bellevue restful sleep and improve overall health. Our primary approach is to use custom-made oral appliances designed to open your airway during sleep. 

A Customized Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment in Bellevue

These specialized devices are crafted to fit comfortably in your mouth and work by gently repositioning your jaw or tongue to maintain an open airway throughout the night. This helps prevent the soft tissues in your throat from collapsing and obstructing your breathing, which is the leading cause of sleep apnea episodes.
 
We understand that each case of sleep apnea is unique, so we create personalized oral appliances tailored to your specific needs and mouth structure. These devices are effective, more comfortable, and less intrusive than traditional CPAP machines, making them easier for many patients to use consistently.

We believe in a collaborative approach to sleep apnea treatment. We work closely with your physician to coordinate care and share information. This partnership ensures a comprehensive treatment plan, effective progress monitoring, and necessary treatment adjustments.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Diagnosing sleep apnea on your own can be tricky since the symptoms happen during sleep. We use a sleep study to diagnose sleep apnea. It can help determine if you have sleep apnea and its severity level through a monitor you’ll wear during sleep.

Some of the symptoms of sleep apnea to be aware of are:

  • Loud and excessive snoring
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Difficulties focusing or concentrating on daily tasks
  • Waking abruptly due to gasping for air or coughing
  • Brain fog
  • Irritability or mood swings
