Sleep better, breathe easier. At Sconzo & Sciascia General, Cosmetic, and Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, we help patients with sleep apnea find relief through custom-fit sleep apnea devices. Sleep apnea not only disrupts your rest, it can also impact your overall health. Our dental team provides solutions to keep your airway open while you sleep, allowing you to wake up refreshed and alert.
Sleep apnea occurs when your breathing stops or becomes very shallow during sleep. This can happen due to:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea: When the soft tissues in the throat, tongue, or palate block the airway.
Central Sleep Apnea: When the brain fails to signal your body to breathe.
Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health risks, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, organ strain, and daytime sleepiness that increases your risk of accidents.
Loud or chronic snoring
Gasping or choking during sleep
Waking up feeling tired despite a full night’s rest
Morning headaches and jaw discomfort
Daytime sleepiness or difficulty concentrating
Sleep apnea devices help keep your airway open while you sleep. Our dental team specializes in oral devices that are custom-fit to your mouth:
Tongue-Retraining Device: Holds the tongue forward to prevent airway blockage.
Mandibular Repositioning Mouthpiece: Keeps the lower jaw in position so the airway stays open.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Device (NMES): Strengthens the tongue and airway muscles to improve breathing during sleep (worn while awake).
For patients who use CPAP machines, our dental team can also assist with device fit and comfort to ensure effective therapy.
Benefits Include:
Improved quality of sleep and daytime energy
Reduced snoring and disruption for you and your partner
Lower risk of long-term health complications
Comfortable, custom-fit devices tailored to your mouth
