At Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore, we offer sleep dentistry services focused on identifying and treating sleep-related breathing disorders – especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Many people don’t realize that dentists play a crucial role in sleep health. In Baltimore, Maryland, our team provides advanced oral appliance therapy for patients struggling with mild to moderate sleep apnea, offering an effective and comfortable alternative to CPAP machines.
What Is Sleep Dentistry?
Sleep dentistry is a specialized area of dental care that focuses on the recognition and management of sleep-disordered breathing, such as sleep apnea and snoring. Dentists trained in sleep dentistry work in collaboration with sleep physicians to diagnose these conditions and offer non-invasive treatment solutions, most commonly through custom-fitted oral appliances. These devices gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing interruptions in breathing and improving sleep quality.
Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed because its symptoms occur at night. Common warning signs include:
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Gasping or choking during sleep
- Waking up tired despite a full night’s sleep
- Daytime fatigue or irritability
- Morning headaches
- Difficulty concentrating
Comfortable, Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
At Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore, we create custom oral appliances that are FDA-approved and tailored to fit comfortably while you sleep. These devices are compact, quiet, and easy to use—making them an excellent option for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. They are also portable and ideal for travel. Our team works closely with local sleep physicians to ensure your treatment plan is effective and coordinated.
Improving Your Health Through Better Sleep
Untreated sleep apnea can contribute to serious health issues, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. By addressing sleep-disordered breathing through dental care, we can help improve your overall health and well-being. At Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore, we’re committed to helping you breathe easier and sleep better – naturally.
