Helping Patients Sleep and Breathe Better
About 50 to 70 million Americans have a sleep disorder, yet many remain undiagnosed. Symptoms like loud snoring, morning headaches, and daytime fatigue may indicate obstructive sleep apnea. Our team works closely with patients to identify these symptoms and guide them toward an effective, personalized treatment plan.
Expert Care Focused on Your Health
Our Team has been practicing dental sleep medicine for almost 30 years and our practice focuses on dental sleep medicine, it is all we do.
Sleep Better Georgia focuses on raising awareness about sleep apnea, which remains one of the most underdiagnosed sleep disorders in the country.
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Chronic fatigue
- And more
If you suspect you may have sleep apnea, learning more about the condition is the first step.
Sleep Apnea Care Designed Around Your Needs
Sleep Apnea Testing
Sleep apnea symptoms occur while you are sleeping, which makes testing essential. Our team helps coordinate a convenient sleep study, often done in your own home.
A sleep study evaluates breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and interruptions to help diagnose conditions like obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea Treatment
Once diagnosed, treatment focuses on improving airflow and reducing interruptions. Every treatment plan is customized based on your needs and diagnosis.
Options may include:
- Oral appliances
- Therapy with a CPAP machine
- Lifestyle support such as weight loss

Oral Appliance Therapy
Oral appliances are a comfortable and effective treatment that gently repositions the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.
Many patients choose oral appliances because they are:
- Comfortable and custom-fit
- Small and portable
- Quiet compared to a cpap machine
- Easy to travel with
Research shows oral appliance therapy can significantly improve breathing and reduce symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea for many patients.

A Comfortable Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Alternative
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines are often prescribed for sleep apnea. While effective, many patients struggle with masks, noise, or discomfort.
For many patients oral appliance therapy is often the first option for treatment.
These custom devices are worn during sleep and gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open.
Benefits of Oral Appliance Therapy:
- No bulky equipment
- Quiet and comfortable therapy
- Easy to travel with
- Custom fit for each patient
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends oral appliance therapy for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea or those unable to tolerate CPAP therapy.
Understanding What Happens During Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This often occurs when the throat muscles relax too much, causing the airway to collapse. The tongue and soft palate may fall backward, blocking airflow while you are lying down.
When this happens, sleep cycles are disturbed, even if you don’t remember it. These repeated interruptions can affect your life, energy levels, and overall health.
What Causes Sleep Apnea and Who It Affects
Sleep apnea can affect both adults and children, though it is more common in adults. Several factors may contribute to the condition, including:
- Excess weight or obesity
- Weak airway muscles
- Structural issues in the mouth or jaw
- Certain medications
- Lifestyle habits and lack of exercise
In other cases, genetics or anatomical differences may also play a role. Many people suffer from sleep apnea without realizing it.
