Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment

Our team at Golden Hill Family Dentistry often sees patients who think snoring is just a harmless annoyance, when in fact, it can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This common condition occurs when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, which leads to pauses in breathing, reduced oxygen levels, and disrupted rest.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea: What’s the Link?

While not everyone who snores has sleep apnea, loud and frequent snoring is one of the most common signs. Other symptoms may include:

  • Waking up feeling tired
  • Dry mouth in the morning
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Irritability and mood swings

Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and other serious health concerns.

How We Can Help

We offer custom oral appliance therapy as a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines. These devices are easy to wear, travel-friendly, and designed to gently reposition your jaw and open your airway while you sleep.
