At Downtown Whitby Dentistry, we understand that a good night’s sleep is essential for your health, energy, and quality of life. That’s why we offer effective, non-invasive solutions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) — a common yet serious sleep disorder that often goes undiagnosed.
Sleep apnea occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax excessively during sleep, causing temporary blockages in the airway. These pauses in breathing can happen dozens to hundreds of times per night, disrupting your rest and straining your cardiovascular system.
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and depression.
While CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are commonly prescribed, many patients find them uncomfortable or difficult to use consistently. At Downtown Whitby Dentistry, we offer a proven alternative: custom oral appliance therapy.
An oral appliance is a custom-fitted dental device, similar to a mouthguard, that gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. These devices are:
Improved quality of sleep
Increased daytime energy and focus
Reduction in snoring
Lower risk of chronic health conditions
Better sleep for you — and your partner!
Our dental team is trained in sleep-disordered breathing and oral appliance therapy. We work collaboratively with local sleep specialists to provide comprehensive and coordinated care. Whether you're CPAP-intolerant or looking for a first-line solution, we’re here to help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Take the first step toward restorative sleep and renewed health. Schedule your Sleep Apnea Consultation at Downtown Whitby Dentistry today.
Sleep apnea cannot be completely cured, but it can be effectively managed with proper treatment. At Downtown Whitby Dentistry, we offer custom oral appliance therapy that repositions your jaw to keep airways open, providing significant symptom relief and improved sleep quality for most patients.
Sleep apnea is diagnosed through a comprehensive sleep study, typically conducted overnight at a sleep clinic or with home monitoring equipment. Our dental team at Downtown Whitby Dentistry works collaboratively with local sleep specialists to ensure accurate diagnosis and coordinate your obstructive sleep apnea treatment plan.
Sleep apnea machines like CPAP devices may have limited OHIP coverage, but many patients require private insurance or out-of-pocket payment. At Downtown Whitby Dentistry, we offer custom oral appliances as an alternative solution that's often more comfortable and portable than traditional machines.
Sleep apnea can contribute to weight gain by disrupting hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, leading to increased appetite and slower fat burning. Treating your sleep-disordered breathing with oral appliance therapy at Downtown Whitby Dentistry can help restore healthy sleep patterns and support better metabolic function.
Sleep apnea is dangerous when left untreated, significantly increasing your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and depression. At Downtown Whitby Dentistry, our custom oral appliance therapy provides effective treatment to reduce these serious health risks and improve your overall well-being.
