Patient-Centered Obstructive Sleep Apnea Care
At least 25 million middle-aged and older adults in the US are reportedly afflicted with OSA and its exhausting side effects.
These include relentless snoring, chronic fatigue, and difficulty focusing on everyday tasks.
That’s not the worst part—only 6 million can identify their symptoms and seek treatment.
The rest could have a much better quality of life if they took their snoring more seriously.
If you know something is wrong with your sleep or have heard complaints about your snoring, chances are good that you could benefit from a clinical sleep evaluation and treatment from Dr. Perry.
With over 30 years of expertise in all things related to your oral health and sleep, he is especially qualified to help you achieve the restorative rest your body needs.
Our sleep apnea devices:
Help you breathe naturally without a mask;
Slip on easily without any effort;
Fit in your pocket, purse, or carry-on;
Are quick to clean;
Are resistant to germs, bacteria, and stains;
Make you forget you are even wearing one!
Why See A Dentist for Sleep Apnea Treatment?
The truth is dentists have spent years studying the function of the airway.
They can determine if your breathing is irregular by looking at the soft tissues in your mouth.
As a sleep medicine dentist, Dr. Perry has a deep understanding of the obvious and hidden anatomical signs that indicate you may have obstructive sleep apnea.
Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are considered the go-to treatment for sleep-disordered breathing, they are far from being the only ones.
CPAP machines were invented in the 1980s and sleep medicine has come a long way since then.
You may want to try an oral sleep apnea appliance if you have found your CPAP mask too miserable to wear, it’s a headache when traveling, or useless without access to power.
Airway-Enhancing Dental Appliances to
Protect Your Sleep
During your initial screening and physical evaluation, Dr. Perry works with you to decide what design would most effectively address your mild to severe sleep apnea symptoms.
Two of our most popular devices amongst our patients are the SomnoDent Herbst and the ProSomnus EVO.
We are an authorized provider of these two, in addition to a wide range of other options.
Each device is removable, made from BPA-free acrylic, and looks like a clear sports mouthguard.
You put your oral appliance in right before going to bed.
It holds your lower jaw forward by a couple of millimeters to create more room in your upper airway and dramatically improve your breathing in a short period.
