Sleep Apnea

Dr. Dipika Shah provides a wide range of dental services to her patients, including oral appliances for sleep apnea. Dental treatment is not just about fillings and root canals and cleanings, though that is certainly important. It is also about helping with our patients with their overall health.

With sleep apnea, the patient is having interruptions in their breathing multiple times a night, which not only keeps them from having a good night’s sleep, but can also be bad for their health.

Common signs of having sleep apnea include choking upon waking, excessive tiredness during the day, an urge to nap every day, headaches when waking up in the morning, snoring noisily, and waking up extremely thirsty and/or tired.

We urge patients with sleep apnea to visit our office and benefit in the following ways:

• Get a custom-made oral appliance for proper treatment of sleep apnea.
• Improve their sleep every night.
• Have a more comfortable appliance for better sleeping.
• Access to a small appliance that is easy to travel with.

If you have signs of sleep apnea, visit our dental practice in Holmdel, NJ. We will provide you with more information about the oral appliance available to give you an effective solution.
