How Dentists Can Help Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and Snoring

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is more than just loud snoring—it’s a serious condition that affects breathing during sleep and can significantly impact your overall health. If left untreated, OSA can lead to fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, and even heart disease.

While CPAP machines are a common treatment, many people find them uncomfortable or difficult to use. At City Gardens Dental, we offer a simpler, non-invasive alternative: custom-fitted oral appliances. These small devices are worn during sleep and work by gently repositioning the jaw to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and preventing airway collapse.

Our dentists work closely with your medical team or sleep specialist to assess your suitability for oral appliance therapy. For many patients with mild to moderate OSA—or those who cannot tolerate CPAP—this can be a terrific solution.

Signs of OSA can include loud snoring, frequent waking, gasping for air during sleep, and daytime fatigue. If you or your partner notice any of these symptoms, it’s worth having a conversation with your GP or dentist.

At City Gardens Dental, we take a collaborative, holistic approach to treatment. Our goal is not only to support your oral health—but your overall wellbeing, including better, more restful sleep.
