Sleep apnea is more than just an inconvenience; it is a significant health concern that can impact your overall wellbeing. If you or a loved one experiences chronic snoring, frequent awakenings or persistent daytime sleepiness, it might be time to consider sleep apnea treatment. At Mosaic Dental, we specialize in providing effective, patient-friendly solutions to help you breathe easier and sleep better.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax excessively during sleep, causing repeated airway blockages. These blockages result in interrupted breathing, which can happen numerous times throughout the night. The lack of oxygen can lead to a variety of health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Additionally, untreated sleep apnea can contribute to mood disorders, memory problems and decreased quality of life, among other problems.

Dr. Anuradha Beri, Dr. Ramneek Kaur and Dr. Pawneet Khangura are equipped to offer you effective sleep apnea treatments tailored to your needs. For many patients, oral appliance therapy is a simple and comfortable solution. This treatment involves wearing a custom-fitted device that keeps the airway open by repositioning the jaw and tongue, allowing for unobstructed breathing. Oral appliances are a noninvasive option that many patients find easy to use and adjust to.

For those with more severe sleep apnea, a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine may be recommended. This device keeps the airway open by delivering a constant stream of air through a mask. In some cases, surgical interventions might be necessary to remove or reduce tissue obstructing the airway.
