Sleep Apnea Treatment

The common yet dangerous sleep disorder known as sleep apnea is characterized by breathing pauses while you're asleep. The collapse of the airway during sleep, which causes momentary breathing pauses, is a common cause of sleep apnea.

We at Henderson, Nevada's Wineman Dental know how critical a restful night's sleep is to one's general health and wellbeing. Our staff is committed to providing you with uninterrupted, restful sleep by properly diagnosing and treating your sleep apnea.

Types of Sleep Apnea

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by throat muscle relaxation blocking the airway.
• Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Occurs when the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe.
• Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A combination of OSA and CSA.

Symptoms to Watch For

• Loud snoring
• Daytime drowsiness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Morning headaches
• Irritability

Treatment Options

At Wineman Dental, we provide customized solutions for managing sleep apnea. One effective treatment option is the use of a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, which keeps the airway open during sleep. However, for patients who prefer a less intrusive approach, we offer oral appliances designed to reposition the jaw and keep the airway open, providing a comfortable and effective alternative.

Please contact Wineman Dental in Henderson, NV if you think you may be experiencing signs of sleep apnea or if you are currently suffering from the condition. Our compassionate experts are here to provide you with individualized, efficient treatment plans to enhance the quality of your sleep and your general health.
