Sleep Apnea & Snoring — Why Your Dentist Might Be the Solution

A restful night’s sleep is vital to your health—but for those suffering from sleep apnea, rest can feel impossible. At Broad St Smiles in San Luis Obispo, we specialize in treating sleep-related breathing disorders using comfortable, non-invasive dental solutions that help you breathe easier and sleep better.

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, leading to repeated pauses in breathing. These interruptions deprive your body of oxygen and disrupt your sleep cycle, resulting in fatigue, headaches, and even cardiovascular strain. Many people don’t realize their dentist can be the first line of defense in recognizing the symptoms of sleep apnea.

The Hidden Health Risks

Untreated sleep apnea is more than just loud snoring—it can contribute to:

High blood pressure and heart disease
Stroke and diabetes risk
Memory problems and daytime fatigue
Mood changes and difficulty concentrating

By addressing sleep apnea early, you reduce these long-term health risks and restore your energy and focus.

Dental Treatment Options at Broad St Smiles

 Our team offers custom-fit oral appliances that reposition your jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open during sleep. These devices are small, discreet, and often more comfortable than CPAP machines. Many patients experience immediate improvements in sleep quality and partner satisfaction.

The Comfort-First Approach

Your comfort is our top priority. We carefully evaluate your bite, airway, and overall health to design a personalized treatment plan. Regular follow-ups ensure your appliance continues to fit perfectly and deliver consistent results.

Take Control of Your Sleep

If you or a loved one struggles with loud snoring, morning fatigue, or interrupted sleep, it’s time to get help.
