Struggling with snoring or poor sleep caused by sleep apnoea? Dental sleep medicine offers a safe, non-invasive way to improve your breathing at night, reduce daytime tiredness, and help you sleep soundly again.
Dental sleep medicine is a specialist area of dentistry focused on helping patients manage snoring and sleep-related breathing disorders, including obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA occurs when the airway becomes repeatedly blocked during sleep, leading to disrupted breathing, poor sleep quality, and daytime tiredness.
As an alternative to CPAP machines, dental sleep medicine uses custom-made oral appliances that gently reposition the lower jaw to keep the airway open while you sleep.
At Dentist by the Green, Dr Ayesha Patel is undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Sleep Medicine from the British Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. This qualifies her to treat patients referred to her by medical consultants as well as screened in the clinic as part of regular dental assessments
Dental sleep medicine is ideal for patients who suffer from loud snoring, disrupted sleep, or have been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). It’s especially helpful for those who struggle to tolerate a CPAP machine or are looking for a more comfortable, non-invasive alternative.
You may also benefit if you experience daytime tiredness, frequent waking during the night, or your partner has noticed pauses in your breathing while you sleep.
If you’ve been diagnosed with OSA or have concerns about your sleep quality, we can assess whether a custom-made oral appliance could help you breathe easier and sleep more soundly.
