Sleep Apnea & Snore Guards in St. Albert, AB
Overview
Better Sleep,
Better Health.
At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, our dentists provide custom oral appliance therapy for mild to moderate sleep apnea and disruptive snoring — a comfortable, evidence-based alternative to CPAP for many patients. Sleep apnea is a serious disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops throughout the night, causing oxygen drops that disrupt rest and strain the cardiovascular system. We direct-bill all major Canadian insurance plans to help make treatment as accessible as possible.
Snoring, meanwhile, is caused by the vibration of soft tissues as airflow is restricted through a narrowed airway. While snoring itself isn't always dangerous, it's often a warning sign of underlying sleep-disordered breathing.
Dentists play an important role in treating mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring through custom oral appliances (mandibular advancement devices) that gently reposition the jaw during sleep to keep the airway open. These appliances are an effective, comfortable alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.
