Sleep Apnea Treatment Southampton, PA

Sleep Apnea Treatment Southampton, PA

Not many people are aware that dentists handle much more than just your teeth these days. Your dentist could help you get a better night’s sleep.

Do you have problems with snoring or suspect that your spouse has a sleeping disorder? Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disease that can lead to fatigue, weight gain, depression, tooth wear, and cardiovascular incidents.

If you're using a CPAP for a sleeping disorder but want a more comfortable, quiet alternative, it may be worth considering an oral sleep appliance from Dr. Habbel.

What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Not all sleep-disordered breathing is the same. With OSA, the upper airway at the back of your mouth blocks off air flow, starving your body of oxygen. In most cases it's caused by soft tissues collapsing against one another, sealing off the air.

How Dr. Habbel Can Help with Snoring

If you snore, have a large neck circumference, have flat teeth, or suspect a sleeping disorder, it's time to schedule a screening with Dr. Harry L. Habbel in Southampton. We can work with your existing physician to discuss proper treatments or a home-based sleep study if needed.

Depending on the type of sleep apnea you have, we may be able to fit you with a snore guard or other sleep appliance. The prosthesis moves your lower jaw forward, preventing your tongue, soft palate, and other tissues from sealing off airflow. It starts working as early as the first night.

Getting Fitted for a Snore Mouthguard

Custom sleep mouthguards are fitted over your teeth like any other type of removable dental appliance. All we need to get started is an impression. From there, we'll adjust the mouthpiece until we find the best position for your jaw. Some people can give up using CPAP altogether because of how effective an oral sleep appliance can be.

Personable, friendly, and professional.
Normally I hate going to the dentist, as most do. It was my first visit for a consultation...a completely new experience and all. I was quickly put at ease by Dr. Habbel and his staff. Looks like I've found a new dentist for life.

I started coming to Dr. Habbel when I was a kid and now bring my family because of his level of care and work. The staff are always friendly and make you feel like family.
