Snoring has different causes
Some people snore without obstructive sleep apnoea; others have both. The loudness of snoring alone cannot establish severity.
Snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing during sleep or marked daytime sleepiness need investigation. Sleep apnoea is a medical diagnosis. Following a medical assessment, dental care can consider whether an oral appliance may be suitable as part of treatment.

A doctor assesses whether a sleep study is needed. A dental assessment then considers teeth, gums and the jaw for appliance suitability.
A custom appliance may help maintain the airway for some patients. It is not suitable for everyone and must not independently replace prescribed treatment.
Bring existing sleep study results and treatment records. Tell us about snoring, sleepiness and medicines.
We assess support for the appliance and discuss possible discomfort, bite changes and alternatives.
After fitting and adjustment, effectiveness needs review as arranged with your medical team, alongside continued dental monitoring.
Confirm fees for assessment, appliance manufacture, adjustments and follow-up separately. Sleep studies and medical specialist fees may be additional.

This service focuses on dental appliance assessment. Diagnosis and severity require appropriate medical assessment, which may include a sleep study.
No. Effectiveness depends on the condition, adaptation and use, and must be checked at follow-up.
Discuss this with your sleep physician first. Do not stop CPAP yourself. Dental options should be assessed within your medical treatment plan.

Bring your questions. We start with an examination and a conversation. Get to know our team and arrange a time that suits you.
