Medford Sleep Apnea Dentist
Dream better, breathe better, live better
The silent disruptor of restful sleep
Sleep apnea is a common yet often undiagnosed sleep disorder that can significantly impact your health and quality of life. It occurs when your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This can happen due to:
- Obstructive sleep apnea: The more common form that occurs when throat muscles relax.
- Central sleep apnea: Occurs when your brain doesn’t send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.
As your Medford sleep apnea dentist, we offer customized oral appliances that help keep your airways open during sleep. For cases requiring additional treatment options, such as breathing devices or surgery, we may refer you to a trusted specialist. Our goal is to ensure you achieve a restful night’s sleep and improved health.

What to expect during sleep apnea treatment
- We begin with a check-up to assess any signs of sleep apnea. If further analysis is needed, we may refer you to a sleep specialist for a detailed evaluation.
- Based on the results, we might recommend an oral appliance. These devices are designed to maintain open airways while you sleep.
- We’ll provide you with a temporary solution to use until your custom-fitted device is ready.
- In about 2-4 weeks, you’ll receive your personalized treatment device. We’ll ensure it fits perfectly and addresses your specific needs, leading to improved sleep and overall health.

Is sleep apnea treatment permanent?
Using an oral appliance is a long-term management solution for sleep apnea rather than a cure. The appliance must be worn consistently to maintain its benefits.
How much does sleep apnea treatment cost?
The cost of an oral appliance varies. We provide clear, upfront cost information and are happy to discuss available financial options to ensure you receive the treatment you need.
How long will I need to use an oral appliance for sleep apnea?
Most people with sleep apnea will need to continue using their oral appliance indefinitely to keep their airways open during sleep and maintain its benefits.
What happens if I don’t treat my sleep apnea?
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues, including heart problems, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Using an oral appliance can help manage these risks and improve your quality of life.
