Obstructive Sleep Apnea and How We Treat It

Obstructive sleep apnea is not only a condition causing loud snoring and daily fatigue; it can also cause major health complications. Elite Dental Arts of New York, NY understands how dangerous sleep apnea can be, which is why we offer our patients an oral appliance to correct the condition.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the soft palate collapses and causes an obstruction in the windpipe. This causes disruptions in breathing which can range from a few times per night to hundreds of times per night. Missing out on oxygen and sleep night after night can wear on your body in ways you do not notice, but ways that can be very dangerous. Sleep apnea causes complications with surgery and certain medications. Sleep apnea also increases the risk of heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and stroke.




Here at Elite Dental Arts, our patients suffering from the complications due to obstructive sleep apnea can find relief. We offer an oral appliance to correct the collapsed soft palate and open up the airway again. This appliance is customized for each individual’s case and fitted here in our New York, NY office to ensure the correct positioning of the mouth. The results of patients who are finally breathing throughout the whole night is truly wonderful.

If you have been suffering with sleep apnea or suspect that you do, now is the time to make an appointment with Elite Dental Arts in New York, NY. To schedule, call us at (212) 681-0939 or visit our website, www.elitedentalarts.com
