Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing stops and starts repeatedly through the night. Fiorenza Dental Group offers dental options for selected patients who need an alternative or supplement to CPAP therapy.
How We Can Help
Biggest Complaints
Many people with sleep apnea snore through the night and do not get restorative sleep. Some patients who have used CPAP for years also struggle with the machine itself and look for another treatment option.
Oral Appliances
Oral appliances can be used for patients who need another solution for sleep apnea. The original site notes that oral appliance therapy is commonly used for mild or moderate sleep apnea and can also be considered for severe sleep apnea when a patient cannot tolerate CPAP.
Comfortable
Comfortable and easy to wear.
Quiet
Quiet and does not interrupt sleep.
Portable
Convenient for travel and easy to clean.
Solutions We Offer
At FDG, we make multiple oral appliances specifically designed to reduce sleep apnea and snoring. These appliances move the lower jaw forward, opening the airway enough to reduce apneas throughout the night.
Laser Snoring Therapy
The original site also describes laser therapy to reduce the noise associated with snoring. It states that much snoring is caused by vibration of the soft palate and that the dental laser can reduce those vibrations. The old page described results lasting roughly 12–18 months and an available subscription plan. Contact the office for current treatment details.
How to Pay
The old site states that oral appliance therapy is billed through insurance and that patient cost historically landed between $500 and $1,500, with financing plans available. Contact the office for current coverage and pricing.
