In some cases, dental treatment may help manage snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea. Dentists can provide custom-made oral appliances designed to help keep the airway more open during sleep by gently adjusting the position of the jaw.
Patients commonly seek treatment for symptoms such as loud snoring, disrupted sleep, daytime tiredness or waking feeling unrefreshed. Because these symptoms can have different causes, an assessment is important before treatment is recommended.
At our clinic, we take an individualised and supportive approach to care. Your dentist will review your symptoms, oral health and medical history to determine whether dental treatment may be appropriate. In many cases, we work alongside GPs, sleep physicians and other healthcare providers as part of a broader treatment plan.
For suitable patients, custom oral appliances may provide a more comfortable alternative to other sleep apnoea management options. However, not all patients are appropriate candidates and treatment outcomes can vary between individuals.
Our team also understands that some patients feel anxious during dental appointments. We aim to create a calm and welcoming environment with a strong focus on patient comfort and communication throughout the process.
