Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. Common symptoms include loud snoring, pauses in breathing, and daytime fatigue. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to a number of serious health complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

At our medical center, we offer a range of treatment options for sleep apnea, including:

  1. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy: This is the most common treatment for sleep apnea. A CPAP machine delivers a steady stream of air through a mask worn during sleep to keep the airway open.
  2. Oral appliances: These are custom-made devices that are worn in the mouth during sleep to help keep the airway open. They are typically used for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
  3. Lifestyle changes: Losing weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and sleeping on your side can help reduce symptoms of sleep apnea.
  4. Surgery: Surgery may be an option for some people with sleep apnea. The most common surgical procedures are uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) and genioglossus advancement (GA).

We also provide sleep study to diagnose the sleep apnea and provide the appropriate treatment.

It is important to seek treatment for sleep apnea as soon as possible to reduce the risk of complications and improve overall quality of life. Our team of sleep specialists is dedicated to providing individualized care and helping patients find the treatment that works best for them.

Diagnosis

The first step in treating sleep apnea is to get an accurate diagnosis. We offer home sleep testing, which is a convenient and accurate way to diagnose sleep apnea. This test can be done in the comfort of your own home, and the results are analyzed by our sleep specialists. We also offer in-lab sleep testing for more complex cases.

Treatment

Once a diagnosis of sleep apnea is made, our team will work with you to find the best treatment solution for your specific needs. The most common treatment options for sleep apnea include:

  • CPAP therapy: This is the most common treatment for sleep apnea. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and it involves using a machine to deliver a continuous stream of air through a mask that is worn while sleeping. The air pressure helps to keep the airway open, preventing apneas (breathing cessation) from occurring.
  • Oral appliances: These are specially-designed devices that are worn in the mouth while sleeping. They work by repositioning the jaw and tongue, which helps to keep the airway open. Oral appliances are a good option for people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea or for those who are not able to tolerate CPAP therapy.
  • Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be recommended to treat sleep apnea. Surgery can involve removing excess tissue from the airway, such as the uvula or the tonsils, or it can involve repositioning the jaw. Surgery is usually only recommended for people who have severe sleep apnea that cannot be treated with other methods.

Follow-up Care

We also provide follow-up care to ensure that our patients are getting the most out of their treatment. This includes regular check-ins, equipment maintenance, and adjustments to treatment as needed. Our team will work with our patients to find the best solution for their specific needs, and we will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the treatment is working effectively.

Coordination of Care

We also work closely with other healthcare providers, such as primary care physicians and pulmonologists, to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care. We believe that communication and coordination of care are key to achieving optimal health outcomes, and we will work with our patients to ensure that they receive the best possible care.
