Breathe Easy, Sleep Deep — Expert Sleep Apnea Treatment at Floss & Gloss Dental
Say goodbye to restless nights and chronic fatigue. Our personalized sleep apnea treatments help you breathe better, sleep soundly, and wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
What Is Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. The most common form—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax too much, blocking your airway. This leads to loud snoring, choking sounds, frequent awakenings, and disrupted sleep cycles that can affect your energy, mood, and overall health.
At Floss & Gloss Dental, we specialize in treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea using custom-fitted oral appliances. These small, comfortable mouthpieces reposition your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open all night long. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, these oral devices are discreet, portable, and easy to wear—helping you reclaim the deep, restorative sleep your body needs.

We’re proud members of nationally recognized dental associations that uphold the highest standards of patient care and ethics. Our commitment to ongoing education ensures you receive modern, evidence-based treatment every time you visit.
Why Choose Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Untreated sleep apnea can do more than just ruin your sleep—it can affect nearly every aspect of your well-being. Interrupted breathing lowers oxygen levels in your blood, which increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and even stroke. It can also cause excessive daytime fatigue, poor concentration, and irritability, which take a toll on your personal and professional life.
Choosing sleep apnea treatment at Floss & Gloss Dental means choosing better sleep and better health. Our oral appliance therapy offers a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines. It’s quiet, travel-friendly, and custom-designed to fit your mouth perfectly. With consistent use, patients report reduced snoring, deeper sleep, and renewed daytime energy—without the discomfort or inconvenience of traditional treatments.
The Sleep Apnea Treatment Journey
Our approach to treating sleep apnea is designed for comfort and long-term success. Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish:
Consultation & Evaluation
We begin by discussing your sleep patterns, symptoms, and medical history. If needed, we may recommend a sleep study to confirm a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and assess its severity.
Custom Appliance Design
Once confirmed, we take digital impressions of your teeth to create a custom oral appliance tailored to your bite and airway structure. The goal is to gently reposition your jaw for uninterrupted airflow.
Fitting & Adjustment
When your device is ready, we fit and fine-tune it to ensure comfort and effectiveness. You’ll receive detailed guidance on how to wear, clean, and care for your appliance.
Follow-Up & Monitoring
We schedule periodic follow-ups to monitor your progress and make adjustments if needed. Most patients notice improvement within days and significant relief within weeks of consistent use.
Care You Deserve,
Payments You Can Manage
Everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile — and we make it affordable. Floss & Gloss Dental accepts major insurance plans and offers flexible financing options through CareCredit and other partners. Our team will help you find a payment plan that fits your budget so you never have to delay the care you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Confused about how dental treatment can help your sleep apnea? Here’s what patients often ask before starting:
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common signs include loud snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness. A professional sleep study is the most accurate way to diagnose it, and we can help coordinate that process.
Can a dentist really treat sleep apnea?
Yes! For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, dentists trained in sleep medicine can provide custom oral appliances that prevent airway collapse during sleep. These devices are FDA-approved and highly effective for many patients.
Is the oral appliance uncomfortable to wear?
Not at all. Our appliances are designed to fit comfortably and precisely. Most patients find them far easier to tolerate than CPAP machines, and they quickly adapt to wearing them nightly.
What if I already use a CPAP machine?
If you’re struggling with your CPAP or can’t tolerate it, oral appliance therapy can be an excellent alternative. In some cases, we can even coordinate a combination approach with your sleep physician for optimal results.
Will sleep apnea treatment stop my snoring?
In most cases, yes. Since the oral appliance keeps your airway open, it reduces or eliminates snoring entirely. Many patients notice a dramatic improvement in both sleep quality and their partner’s peace of mind.
