Understanding Sleep Apnea and Its Impact
Snoring might be the subject of lighthearted jokes, but for many in Heber City, UT, it’s a sign of something more concerning—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This condition, characterized by chronic snoring, can lead to serious health repercussions, including chronic fatigue and life-threatening events during sleep.
The Reality of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
OSA occurs when the muscles in the throat relax excessively, blocking airflow to the lungs during sleep. While some find relief through surgery or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, these solutions can be uncomfortable and lead to side effects like dry mouth, nasal irritation, and stomach discomfort. Heber Valley Dental provides a comfortable alternative with custom-fitted oral appliances designed to alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea effectively.

Embrace Restorative Sleep
Delaying treatment for sleep apnea can have severe consequences. If you suspect you have OSA, it’s essential to first consult with your physician for an accurate diagnosis. Following this, our team at Heber Valley Dental is ready to assist you in selecting the right oral appliance to suit your needs and lifestyle. Our devices are tailored for comfort, allowing you and your family to enjoy the restful sleep you deserve.
Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
Our approach to treating OSA is patient-centric and non-invasive:

- Tongue Retaining Device: This device holds your tongue in place to keep your airway unobstructed throughout the night.
