Struggling with sleep apnea? Our range of effective devices can help you breathe easier and sleep better. From CPAP machines—the gold standard in sleep apnea treatment—to custom-fitted oral appliances designed for those who find CPAP challenging, we offer solutions tailored to your needs. Many patients wonder about effectiveness, comfort, and which option might work best for their specific condition. Below, we've answered the most common questions about sleep apnea devices to help guide your decision. Our specialists at London Dental Specialists are committed to finding the right treatment approach for your sleep apnea, ensuring you get the restful sleep you deserve.
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Dental devices can help by repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. At London Dental Specialists, we offer custom-made oral appliances that gently move the lower jaw forward, preventing the collapse of soft tissues in the throat that cause airway obstruction. These devices are particularly effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
London Dental Specialists offers several types of custom-fitted sleep apnea devices, including:
Each device is precisely crafted to fit your unique oral anatomy for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Dental appliances are highly effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, with success rates of 65-80% for appropriate candidates. While CPAP remains the gold standard for severe sleep apnea, dental devices from London Dental Specialists offer a comfortable, portable alternative that many patients find easier to use consistently. Regular follow-up appointments ensure your device continues to provide optimal treatment results.
With proper care and maintenance, a high-quality sleep apnea dental device from London Dental Specialists typically lasts 2-5 years. Regular dental check-ups every 6 months allow our specialists to assess the condition of your device and make any necessary adjustments. Factors affecting longevity include daily wear patterns, cleaning habits, and whether you grind your teeth during sleep.
Yes, the custom-fitted sleep apnea devices at London Dental Specialists are designed for maximum comfort. Our specialists take precise impressions of your teeth to create an appliance that fits perfectly. While some patients experience minor discomfort during the initial adjustment period (typically 1-2 weeks), most quickly adapt to wearing their device nightly. We offer follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments for improved comfort.

Following these guidelines will help maintain your device's effectiveness and durability.
Many private health insurance plans provide coverage for sleep apnea dental devices when medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and plan. London Dental Specialists offers assistance with insurance verification and can provide the necessary documentation for claims. We also offer flexible payment options for patients without coverage. A proper diagnosis from a sleep physician typically improves the likelihood of insurance approval.
