Sleep Apnea Treatment in Inglewood

Effective sleep apnea treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis and ends with a device built for your mouth alone. Our role is dental sleep medicine: we screen for airway problems, coordinate the medical diagnosis with a sleep physician, and then design and fit a custom oral appliance that keeps your airway open through the night.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when the soft tissues at the back of the throat relax and collapse, briefly blocking airflow. Each pause drops your oxygen levels and pulls you out of deep sleep, sometimes hundreds of times a night. A custom oral appliance gently advances the lower jaw and steadies the tongue so the upper airway stays open.
Because OSA is a medical condition, a formal diagnosis comes from a sleep study, not a dental exam. We work alongside your physician throughout, so your care stays coordinated from the first visit to your final follow-up.

Your sleep apnea treatment journey with our team:

1. Screening and evaluation. We review your symptoms, snoring, gasping, morning headaches, and daytime sleepiness, along with your medical history and a focused airway exam.
2. Sleep study and diagnosis. If a sleep disorder is suspected, we help arrange a sleep study (in-lab polysomnography or a home sleep test). A physician confirms the diagnosis and its severity.
3. Custom appliance design. Using digital intraoral scanning, we capture a precise model of your teeth to build a mandibular advancement device made for your bite.
4. Fitting and adjustment. We fit your Sleep Apnea Oral Appliance and fine-tune the jaw position gradually, so it feels comfortable and works the way it should.
5. Follow-up care. We check comfort and results over time, and your physician may order a follow-up sleep test to confirm your airway is staying open.

If you have tried CPAP and could not stick with it, an oral appliance often succeeds where the machine failed, because you will actually wear it. For patients who travel often, a device that fits in a carry-on keeps treatment consistent. In cases where OSA is severe or complex, we may combine an appliance with other therapy, always in step with your sleep physician.

Patients across Inglewood choose our clinic because we make treatment simple, comfortable, and genuinely tailored to each airway. You get a custom-fit solution and a team that stays with you well past the first fitting.

• Custom-fit comfort. Every appliance is built from a digital scan of your teeth, not a one-size mouthpiece, so it stays comfortable enough to wear every single night.
• A real CPAP alternative. For mild to moderate OSA, and for patients who cannot tolerate a mask, oral appliance therapy offers quiet, portable solutions for Sleep Apnea.
• Coordinated care. As a Sleep apnea specialist team working in dental sleep medicine, we partner directly with your physician so diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up stay connected.
• Anxiety-friendly visits. If dental visits make you nervous, we keep the pace slow, explain each step in plain language, and give you full control over the process.
• Local convenience. One nearby clinic handles scanning, fitting, and adjustments, so busy Inglewood schedules stay intact.
