Sleep Apnea Treatment in Gahanna, Ohio | Beecher Crossing Dental

Sleep apnea is a common but serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. At Beecher Crossing Dental, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to help you breathe easier and enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the airway becomes blocked during sleep, typically due to the collapse of soft tissue at the back of the throat. This blockage disrupts normal breathing and can lead to various health issues if left untreated.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

• Loud snoring
• Episodes of stopped breathing during sleep (observed by another person)
• Gasping for air during sleep
• Morning headaches
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability or mood changes

How We Treat Sleep Apnea at Beecher Crossing Dental

Our practice offers customized, non-invasive treatment options for sleep apnea:

• Oral Appliance Therapy: We create custom-fitted oral appliances that reposition the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. These appliances are a comfortable and effective solution for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
• Collaboration with Sleep Specialists: For severe cases of sleep apnea, we collaborate with sleep specialists to ensure comprehensive care, including the use of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy if necessary.
• Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the effectiveness of your sleep apnea treatment. We monitor your progress and make adjustments to your oral appliance as needed.
