Sleep and Snoring Solutions
Our Sleep and Snoring Solutions
OPTIMIZING YOUR OVERALL HEALTH AND WELLNESS
At Johnson Dental, we recognize the profound impact of sleep on your overall oral and physical health. In this area of our practice, we focus on solving issues related to snoring, sleep apnea, bruxism (teeth grinding), and often times, interconnected TMJ disorders. Our team can help you improve your sleep quality while reducing your risk of serious conditions that can stem from untreated sleep apnea. With custom-crafted oral appliances and other associated therapies, we can help you achieve the restful, restorative sleep that you need to be healthy and thrive.
What can Johnson Dental do to help you?
ADDRESS THE CAUSE FOR LASTING RELIEF
We have solutions that can help you if:
You’re tired of poor sleep quality. Snoring or sleep apnea affects both you and your bed partner. Peaceful and refreshing nights can be achieved with our airway-focused therapies.
You struggle with daytime fatigue. Your energy, performance, and focus can be affected if breathing problems disrupt your sleep.
You experience morning headaches. Low oxygen levels and hyperactivity of jaw muscles overnight can lead to headaches when you wake up in the morning.
You clench or grind your teeth. Clenching and grinding your teeth is commonly associated with airway disturbances, including sleep apnea, and gastric reflux.
You have tried CPAP but can’t tolerate it. For many patients, oral appliance therapy is a great alternative to CPAP.
Screening for Airway Problems
SYMPTOMS AND ASSESSMENTS
Screening typically begins with an easy-to-use sleep quality screening device to collect airway data at home. We will review the findings and discuss the appropriate next step. You also may be referred to your physician for a sleep study.
What is sleep apnea?
AND HOW IT CAN AFFECT YOUR OVERALL HEALTH
Sleep apnea is a type of sleep disorder where patients experience a pattern of involuntary pauses in breathing while they sleep. The frequent interruptions that sleep apnea causes prevent the body from falling into a deep sleep. As a result, sleep apnea sufferers miss out on essential restorative stages of sleep that are needed for their health and well-being.
Due to poor quality sleep, sleep apnea patients often experience daytime fatigue. This condition can also lead to memory and concentration problems, as well as raise risks of high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, anxiety, depression, and stroke. It can also strain relationships and diminish overall quality of life. The restorative power of sleep is necessary for every cell in your body to maintain optimal health.

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options
Alternative therapies to CPAP
At Johnson Dental, we understand no two patients’ situations are the same, which is why we craft your treatment plan to suit your individual needs. CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy is a well-known treatment for sleep apnea, but there are alternatives. Many different styles of oral appliances can help. We will work with you to decide which appliance would be most effective and best fit your lifestyle. Combination therapy is possible if you need more than just a CPAP so that you can also take advantage of the benefits of oral appliances.
Snoring Solutions
ORAL APPLIANCES FOR RESTORATIVE SLEEP
Chronic snoring is another condition that patients often visit us for at Johnson Dental. While snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, not all snorers will be diagnosed with sleep apnea. The best option initially is to make an appointment for a full evaluation. If you need treatment for snoring, we may suggest oral appliance therapy as a solution. Oral appliances are designed to gently reposition the jaw, keeping the airway open so you can enjoy a restful night’s sleep once again.
Appliances for Clenching, Bruxism (Teeth Grinding), and TMJ Disorders
IMPROVE SLEEP QUALITY AND PROTECT YOUR SMILE
Bruxism is when a person habitually grinds or clenches their teeth, usually in their sleep. Many patients may do this without even realizing it. There are usually tell-tale symptoms that point to a bruxism diagnosis. These include frequent headaches, sensitive teeth, jaw pain, enamel wear, and chipped or cracked teeth. Johnson Dental can treat bruxism, clenching and TMJ disorders with a custom-made oral appliance to protect your teeth at night while you sleep.
