Better sleep starts with answers

If you snore, wake up tired, or feel like you never fully “reset” overnight, sleep apnea could be the reason. The tricky part is that many people have it for years without realizing it.

At Downtown Denver Dental, we make the process simple. As your Denver sleep apnea dentist, we can help you start with an at-home sleep test, then partner with a dedicated company that interprets the results. From there, we build a treatment plan based on what your sleep data shows.

How sleep apnea treatment works

Many patients think sleep apnea treatment automatically means a CPAP. This option helps many people, but it is not the only one. Dental treatment focuses on opening and supporting your airway while you sleep, using comfortable oral appliances.

We focus on solutions that feel realistic to use, because the best treatment is the one you will actually wear.

Your treatment options at Downtown Denver Dental

Mandibular advancement device

This custom appliance gently holds your lower jaw forward while you sleep. That small shift can help keep the airway more open, which can reduce breathing interruptions and snoring. It is a popular option for mild to moderate sleep apnea and for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP.

Vivos

Vivos is a specialized appliance system designed to support airway development and function. Depending on your needs, it may help address airway issues in a more structural way instead of only managing symptoms at night. We will review your sleep test and your exam findings to see if Vivos is the right fit.

What to Expect

Sleep test and results

You will complete a sleep test, and a qualified sleep testing company will review and interpret your results. We use that report to understand your breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and overall risk.

Dental exam and airway evaluation

We look at your bite, jaw position, airway space, and oral health. This helps your Denver sleep apnea dentist match you with the right appliance and make sure it fits comfortably.

Custom appliance and fitting

If you are a good candidate, we design your appliance to fit your teeth precisely. Then we fine-tune it for comfort and effectiveness.

Follow-ups and long-term support

Sleep apnea treatment is not a one-and-done situation. We monitor how you are doing, adjust the appliance if needed, and help you stay on track.

Need to Know

Do I need a sleep test before starting treatment?

Yes. A sleep test tells us what is actually happening while you sleep. It helps confirm whether sleep apnea is present and how severe it is. We also work with a company that reads the test results, so your plan is based on a real clinical report.

 

What is the difference between a mandibular advancement device and Vivos?

A mandibular advancement device repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep to help keep the airway open. Vivos is a different appliance system that may support airway function in a more structural way, depending on your needs. We will recommend the option that matches your sleep test results and exam.

Is a sleep apnea appliance comfortable?

Most patients adjust quickly, especially when the appliance is custom-made and properly fitted. You may feel mild tightness at first, but we can make small adjustments to improve comfort.

Can a dentist really treat sleep apnea?

A dentist can treat sleep apnea using oral appliance therapy for many patients, especially mild to moderate cases or patients who cannot tolerate CPAP. As a Denver sleep apnea dentist, we focus on airway-supporting appliances that you can use consistently.

Will an oral appliance stop snoring?

Snoring often improves when the airway stays open, and breathing becomes smoother. Many patients notice a big difference, but results vary based on anatomy and the cause of snoring.

Can a mouthguard help with sleep apnea?

A regular sports or nightguard is not the same as a sleep apnea appliance. Mouthguards are designed to protect teeth from grinding or injury, but they do not usually keep the airway open. Sleep apnea appliances, like mandibular advancement devices, are custom-made to support breathing by gently repositioning the jaw during sleep.
