Sleep Apnea Treatment Lanham, MD

Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects breathing during sleep, leading to disrupted rest and potential long-term health complications. If you struggle with loud snoring, excessive daytime fatigue or frequent waking during the night, you may have sleep apnea. Fortunately, our dentist and team offer customized treatment options to help improve your breathing, sleep quality and overall well-being.

About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing. These interruptions can happen multiple times throughout the night, reducing oxygen levels and preventing deep, restful sleep. Common symptoms include:

  • Loud, persistent snoring
  • Waking up gasping or choking
  • Morning headaches or dry mouth
  • Daytime fatigue and difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability or mood changes

If left untreated, sleep apnea can contribute to serious health risks such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Seeking professional care is essential for managing symptoms and protecting your long-term health.

Our team provides effective, non-invasive solutions to help manage sleep apnea and improve your quality of life. We work closely with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan based on their needs. Common approaches include:

  • Oral Appliance Therapy – A custom-fitted device that repositions the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open while sleeping.
  • Lifestyle Recommendations – Guidance on sleep position, weight management and other factors that may reduce symptoms.
  • Collaboration with Sleep Specialists – In some cases, we coordinate care with medical professionals for comprehensive treatment.

Many patients find oral appliances to be a comfortable and convenient alternative to bulky CPAP machines. These devices are easy to use, portable and designed to promote uninterrupted sleep.
