Overcome the Challenges of Sleep Apnea

It's a fantastic alternative to CPAP. It will:

  • Boost Airflow - The sleep guard will keep your airway clear and open. You will experience fewer interruptions to your sleep.
  • Enhance Rest - Wearing your sleep guard will promote deeper, more restorative sleep. You'll awaken refreshed.
  • Reduce Symptoms - You and your household will appreciate less snoring. You'll notice a reduction of other signs of sleep apnea, like dry mouth and headaches.
  • Feel More Comfortable - A sleep guard is far more comfortable than a CPAP. It will also fit perfectly since yours is custom-made just for you.
  • Support Your Health - You'll reduce the health risks associated with sleep apnea by treating the condition.

Schedule an Evaluation If You Want to Sleep Better

If you are noticing symptoms of sleep apnea, be sure to mention it at your next checkup. Or feel free to schedule a visit right away if you are ready for this convenient, comfortable solution. If you haven't already been diagnosed for apnea, Dr. Despain can provide a take-home sleep test that monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, and any bruxism (teeth grinding). Then, he'll share the results with a board-certified sleep specialist to confirm your condition.

You'll return to our practice for your sleep apnea appliance. We'll use a digital scanner to capture precise impressions of your teeth and jaw. This ensures it fits comfortably and delivers maximum benefits.

I wasn’t raised with the best dental hygiene, and over the years I’ve had just about every bad dental experience you can imagine. I’ve always related to the saying, “what can go wrong, will go wrong” when it came to dentist visits. My mouth isn’t in the best shape, and I have extremely high dental anxiety — to the point that I’ve actually passed out many times during procedurs. Because of that, it’s been really hard to keep up with or even try to fix the mess I felt stuck with. Recently, a tooth that was already broken lost another corner, leaving me with basically half a tooth. While waiting for that appointment, a cavity on the other side of my mouth popped out, again what can go wrong will go wrong.I was terrified about the upcoming procedure because putting me under usually costs too much — and that’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get through treatment. But the oral sedation they used was amazing. For the first time ever, I felt like I was actually part of my dental care without being fully aware of every detail. The team was kind, gentle, and patient. I got same-day crowns that look fantastic, and when I see them, I actually want to smile. For someone like me, who’s always dreaded the dentist, this was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had. I finally have hope for my future dental health, and I’m so grateful to this team for giving me that.

Had an over all great experience. I believed I had an abscess by my wisdom teeth and it was fairly painful. Skyview Dental got me in the next day. I got both wisdom teeth removed and it was quick and extremely painless.

I took my husband here for major dental work under sedation. This was FINALLY a good dental experience for him. With his high anxiety towards dentists due to terrible past experiences, he was made to feel at ease at Skyview Dental. They were calm, patient, and understanding of his fears....

Commonly Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common type of sleep apnea, occurs when your air passage becomes temporarily blocked repeatedly while you sleep. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat relax to the point that your airway is restricted, causing you to quit breathing for a few seconds. This cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour in severe sleep apnea sufferers.
Why is sleep apnea bad?
Sleep apnea is harmful because it blocks your oxygen supply while you're sleeping. This interferes with your sleep and leaves you feeling weak and tired the next day. However, sleep apnea has also been linked to serious health concerns like heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Treating sleep apnea can improve your quality of life as well as your life expectancy.
Why does sleep apnea happen?

Obstructive sleep apnea (the most common type) occurs when your air passage becomes temporarily blocked while sleeping. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat can relax to the point that your airflow is restricted. This causes your brain to wake up your body long enough to take a few regular breaths. You then fall back to sleep. However, this cycle can repeat itself dozens of times per hour.
