Sleep Apnea Treatment at Downtown Whitby Dentistry

Rest Easy. Breathe Better. Live Fully.

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.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

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.

Common Symptoms Include:

• Loud, chronic snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Excessive daytime fatigue
• Morning headaches
• Poor memory and concentration
• Mood changes or irritability

Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and depression.

Dental Solutions for Sleep Apnea

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.

What Is an Oral Appliance?

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:

• Comfortable and easy to wear
• Small and portable for travel
• Quiet — no machines or masks
• Easy to maintain
