Sleep Apnea Treatment in Fishers, IN

Do you feel groggy all day, every day or wake up with headaches on a regular basis? Has your partner told you that you snore at night or gasp for breath while you're sleeping? If so, you may have obstructive sleep apnea, a common but serious condition that affects your breathing.

Diagnosing Sleep ApneaWoman smiling while sleeping on a pillow, fishers in

Unfortunately, many people never receive a proper diagnosis for their sleep apnea or seek treatment. However, getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is vital because sleep apnea comes with many health risks, including:

  • Higher stroke risk
  • Diabetes
  • Heart failure

When diagnosing sleep apnea, your doctor or dentist will first ask you what symptoms you're experiencing. 

In addition to the symptoms we mentioned above, patients often experience the following:

  • Sore throat or dry mouth upon waking
  • Difficulty sleeping or sleeping through the night
  • Confusion or inability to focus during the day

If you suspect sleep apnea, please contact your physician or our helpful team. Dr. Jeremy Jones, DMD, is a skilled dentist and Dawson Academy-trained dental professional who can diagnose and treat your sleep apnea at Dentistry of Fishers.

Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment

Sleep apnea can disrupt your well-being and rest and impact your whole-body wellness. Here are a few important benefits of sleep apnea treatment in Fishers.

Improved Sleep

We need sleep to function, make decisions, and remain alert. Being constantly tired impacts our waking hours and can be miserable.

Improved Health

Untreated sleep apnea can raise blood pressure and put you at risk for serious physical health issues involving the heart, kidneys, and so much more.

Improved Outlook

Lack of sleep can lead to depression and mood changes, impacting your life and relationships with others. Treatment can change these things!

They communicate very well

"I have never felt so comfortable in a dentist chair before I came to Dentistry of Fishers. They communicate very well, and makes me feel like I'm part of that dentistry family. I receive a warm reception and pleasant good bye each and every visit."

How Do We Diagnose Sleep Apnea?

To diagnose sleep apnea, we may use:

A Home Sleep Study

snoring dentist fishers | woman woken up from partner's snoringWe can send a portable device home with you to track your respiratory efforts and airflow during sleep. The data this device collects can be used to diagnose sleep apnea. 

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

With the advanced 3-D images created by a CBCT, Dr. Jones can check to see if you have dental problems that could cause sleep apnea, which can aid in diagnosing your problem.

What Causes Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea occurs when your airway collapses during sleep, disrupting your breathing. It's possible for someone with sleep apnea to stop breathing tens or even hundreds of times over the course of one night.

The airway collapses for different reasons, but you may be at a higher risk if you're overweight. Males are also more likely to experience sleep apnea symptoms than females, and those with a family history of sleep apnea should be especially careful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that causes the sufferer to stop breathing several times during sleep. Breathing cessation cuts off oxygen temporarily but repeatedly throughout the night, promoting multiple health complications, including high blood pressure and an increased risk for heart attack.

Symptoms of sleep apnea include:

  • Snoring
  • Throat irritation
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • High blood pressure
  • Forgetfulness
  • Mood changes
  • Weight gain

Many patients try the traditional CPAP machine to combat their sleep apnea, but this approach takes some getting used to. In fact, some patients never acclimate to the CPAP. It is a bulky machine that delivers positive airflow through a mask while you sleep.

Sleep Apnea Treatment in Fishers, IN

Our compassionate dentist offers appliance therapy, in many instances, a safe alternative to the CPAP machine. It is a custom appliance that fits over the teeth but keeps the airway open at night. As a result, it is far less cumbersome than the traditional CPAP.

To learn whether appliance therapy is suitable for your level and type of sleep apnea, we encourage you to arrange a consultation with our dentist in Fishers, IN. We're conveniently located near Noblesville.

Treating Sleep Apnea in Fishers

Once we have diagnosed your sleep apnea, or if you come to us with a prior diagnosis, we can begin treatment. Dr. Jones often uses oral appliances as a non-invasive sleep apnea treatment in our Fishers dental office.

An oral appliance fits in the mouth, similar to a night guard. We design the device to hold your jaw forward in a position that prevents the airway from collapsing when you're asleep.

We have successfully treated many cases of sleep apnea with oral appliances, and if you're suffering from sleep apnea, we urge you to contact us for assistance.

There's no need to live with untreated sleep apnea, and we're here to help.
