Dr. Vedullapalli and the talented team at Diamond Dental do more than just keep your smile healthy. We can help you get a better night’s rest with treatments for sleep apnea.
If sleep apnea is keeping you up at night, schedule a consultation today by calling our Newtown office or booking a visit online.
Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes you to stop breathing for extended periods of time throughout the night. These episodes of breathlessness can occur hundreds of times throughout the night and can last anywhere between 10 seconds and several minutes.
Sleep apnea is incredibly dangerous, as it deprives your brain of oxygen throughout the night, which can severely interfere with the proper functioning of your body.
The Diamond Dental team treats sleep apnea with a custom-designed oral appliance that’s recommended as a sleep apnea treatment by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Vedullapalli has partnered with SleepArchiTx to stay on the cutting edge of training, education, and technology. We pride ourselves on our ability to bring the very latest in sleep medicine to our patients.
Our oral appliance is created from an impression of your teeth. It is designed to fit comfortably and snugly in your mouth, just like an orthodontic appliance or a mouthguard that you would wear for sports.
Once in place, the appliance pushes your lower jaw slightly forward, which prevents your tongue and throat muscles from collapsing in on themselves. This opens up your airway for a better night’s rest.
Stop losing sleep and schedule an appointment today with the team at Diamond Dental. You can book your visit by calling the office at (203) 403-2428 or using the convenient online scheduling tool. Our team has advanced training to treat your sleep apnea comfortably and effectively.
