OSA quietly steals deep sleep.
During sleep your throat muscles relax. In OSA the airway closes, oxygen drops and you wake briefly — over and over, often without realising.
Untreated, this leads to fatigue, irritability, headaches and longer-term health risks. Our team work with you to identify the cause and provide a comfortable, portable alternative to CPAP for many patients.
What to look out for.
The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:
- 01Loud snoring
- 02Heavy breathing or gasping during sleep
- 03Insomnia or restless sleep
- 04Morning headaches
- 05Dry mouth on waking
- 06Daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating
- 07Irritability or low mood
Where it comes from.
The most common culprits:
Don't wait it out.
Speak to your our practice dentist if you're experiencing any of the following — book an appointment as soon as you can:
- —Your partner has noticed you stop breathing in your sleep.
- —You wake unrefreshed despite a full night in bed.
- —You fall asleep easily during the day.
- —You snore loudly enough to disturb others.
In discomfort right now?
Snoring isn't usually painful, but if you have jaw pain or grinding alongside it, mention this when you call — they often go together and we'll plan for both.
A plan, not a quick fix.
We'll assess your bite and airway, and where suitable fit a custom mandibular advancement device — far smaller and more comfortable than CPAP — to keep your airway open at night.
