Sleep Apnea & Snoring
People with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have disrupted sleep and low blood oxygen levels due to the upper airway being blocked and reducing proper airflow to the body. The most common signs and symptoms include: snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, depression, loss of concentration and hypertension or high blood pressure. At our office, we screen all patients for sleep apnea. A proper diagnosis and treatment can save a patient an average of 10 years of their life and lead to a better quality of life. There are many types of dental sleep devices that can be chosen specifically for you. During your comprehensive dental examinations your dental team will evaluate through clinical examination and 3D CBCT xray images to measure the most constricted area in your upper airway.
If you feel that you experience any of these symptoms or have questions about snoring, please feel free to ask us. BC Dental Design Phone Number (585) 385-5940
