Sleep Apnea Treatment Types & Process
Sleep apnea isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is our treatment approach. After a thorough evaluation, we’ll recommend the option best suited to your diagnosis, lifestyle, and comfort level.
Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)
A custom-fitted, FDA-cleared oral device -similar to a sports mouthguard -that gently repositions your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This is often the most comfortable, portable, and easiest-to-tolerate option for mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, and a popular alternative for patients who can’t adjust to CPAP.
CPAP Co-Management
For patients who are prescribed or already using a CPAP machine, our dentists work alongside your physician or sleep specialist to ensure the rest of your dental and oral health supports successful, comfortable CPAP use.
Combination & Lifestyle Therapy
For some patients, sleep apnea improves with a combination of oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, weight and lifestyle guidance, and close monitoring -all coordinated with your physician.
Referral for Surgical Evaluation
In more severe cases, or where anatomical issues are involved, we coordinate referrals to trusted ENT and sleep medicine specialists in the Houston area for surgical consultation.
How We Determine the Right Treatment:
- Screening Conversation -We ask about your symptoms: snoring, gasping, morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and more.
- Clinical & Airway Evaluation -A hands-on exam of your jaw, bite, airway, and tonsils/tongue position.
- Sleep Study Coordination -If needed, we help arrange a home or in-lab sleep study with a sleep physician to confirm diagnosis and severity.
- Personalized Treatment Plan -Based on your results, we recommend the most effective, least invasive option for your specific case.
