Absolutely! Dentists can play a significant role in addressing sleep-related issues, particularly snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Dentists are experts in facial anatomy, so they’re uniquely qualified to recognize airway problems and create custom oral appliances that help keep your airway open during sleep.
At Signature Smiles, we take sleep health seriously because it impacts your overall well-being, not just your teeth and gums. Dr. Archie Cook, Jr. is a proud member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), which means he has advanced training in identifying and managing sleep-disordered breathing.
Do I Need Sleep Apnea or Snoring Treatment?
If you or a loved one snores loudly, feels excessively tired during the day, or has been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom dental appliance may be the solution. These small, comfortable oral devices reposition your jaw or tongue to help keep your airway open while you sleep. They're easy to travel with, easy to wear, and can lead to better rest and improved quality of life.
