A Closer Look at Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea results from a blocked airway while you sleep. Our highly trained Mesa, AZ, dentists can treat your obstructive sleep apnea quickly, comfortably, and nonsurgically.
How Is Sleep Apnea Diagnosed?
If you present obstructive sleep apnea symptoms such as daytime sleepiness or morning headaches, our Mesa dentists may refer you to a local sleep specialist to make a sleep apnea diagnosis. You may need to take a sleep study, which involves wearing a monitor at home while you sleep. A sleep study can measure your oxygen levels, sleep patterns, and more. The sleep study data will be submitted to a trusted specialist, who will determine the type and severity of your sleep disorder.
You are at a higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea if you are overweight, a smoker, male, have medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, or have a family history of the condition.

Schedule a Sleep Apnea Consultation
No one should live life feeling like they could nod off at any time during the day. Life in Arizona offers too many wonderful things to stay awake for! Patients who sleep soundly are more likely to have increased energy throughout the day and experience better concentration at work and while driving. Additionally, good, uninterrupted sleep can improve cardiovascular and overall health for both you and your bed partner. Drs. Martin, Drew, and Derek Farnsworth can show you how a simple customized oral appliance can reduce or eliminate your sleep apnea symptoms.

Oral Appliance Therapy From Our Skilled Dentists
If you have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, an oral appliance may reduce or eliminate your symptoms. The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine has found that oral appliance therapy can effectively treat obstructive sleep apnea without the need for surgery.
If you're diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, Drs. Martin, Drew, and Derek Farnsworth can create a customized oral appliance at their state-of-the-art Mesa, AZ, practice for you to wear at night. This effective, nonsurgical treatment gently pushes your lower jaw forward, opening your upper airway to increase airflow and reduce obstructive sleep apnea symptoms.
Our sleep apnea appliances are created at an off-site, Medicare-certified laboratory and designed by your dentist to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth. After your dentist takes precise impressions of your smile, the turnaround time to fabricate your appliance will be 7-10 days. We offer TAP™ and Myerson® EMA® oral appliances, depending on your individual needs.

Oral Appliance Therapy vs. CPAP Machines
If you have previously been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have an oral appliance, but are still experiencing symptoms, your dentist can adjust the appliance to help you sleep better. Should serious sleep apnea or central sleep apnea be diagnosed, a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine may be recommended. However, your dentist will always try to relieve your symptoms with an oral appliance first. Here's why:
