Oral Appliance Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Are you looking for a sleep apnea trained dentist? Dr. Sloop has studied Obstructive Sleep Apnea with the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine in Seattle and Los Angeles. She has educated fellow dental professionals, sleep specialists and physicians about Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT).

Sleep apnea is a serious condition, and it can be treated effectively with small oral appliances. If you have been recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and interested in treatment options, or struggling to use your CPAP at night, we invite you to schedule a consultation.

If you have a tendency to feel sleepy or fall asleep during routine daily activities, you may have sleep apnea. If you have not been diagnosed with OSA, we can offer a preliminary screening and discuss our findings with your physician. We are delighted to work with you and your physician to help you achieve healthy sleep.

Untreated OSA Increases your risk for:
Excessive daytime sleepiness Driving and work-related accidents High blood pressure Heart disease	Stroke Diabetes Obesity Depression Morning headaches	Memory loss Irritability Decreased sex drive Impaired concentration

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes the panoramic x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth.

Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More...

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Teeth Whitening
Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More...

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root. Read More...

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...

Our goal is to help you to minimize the risk of emergency treatment. This is why we commit a generous amont of time designing a Lifetime Treatment Plan that will help you to offset the possibility of unforseen pain or tooth breakage. Read More...
