TEST. TREAT. SLEEP BETTER—LIVE HEALTHIER.

SLEEP APNEA THERAPY

Sleep apnea affects far more than your sleep. When left untreated, it can place ongoing stress on your heart and entire body. At VansmileDesign, we provide comprehensive sleep apnea testing and advanced dental sleep therapies designed not only to improve rest—but to support long-term cardiovascular and systemic health.

WHY TREATING SLEEP APNEA MATTERS
​

Repeated breathing interruptions during sleep reduce oxygen levels and trigger stress responses throughout the body. Over time, untreated sleep apnea has been linked to:

  • High blood pressure

  • Heart disease and irregular heart rhythms

  • Increased risk of stroke

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Chronic fatigue and inflammation

  • Difficulty concentrating, anxiety, and mood changes

Improving or eliminating sleep apnea can help reduce these risks and allow your body to heal and function more efficiently.

​
IN-OFFICE SLEEP APNEA TESTING
​

At our practice, we offer accurate sleep apnea testing that evaluates breathing interruptions, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns—without the inconvenience of a traditional sleep lab. This allows us to identify sleep apnea, snoring, and bruxism early and create a personalized, results-driven treatment plan.

​

THE LINK BETWEEN SLEEP APNEA, SNORING AND BRUXISM
​

Sleep apnea often presents as loud snoring or nighttime teeth grinding. When airflow is restricted, the body may clench or grind the jaw as a reflex to reopen the airway.

This cycle can result in:

  • Chronic snoring

  • Tooth wear, fractures, and jaw pain

  • Morning headaches

  • Poor sleep quality

  • Daytime fatigue and brain fog

Treating these conditions together supports healthier sleep, better oral health, and improved overall wellness.

​

PERSONALIZED SLEEP THERAPY OPTIONS

​

Custom Oral Appliance Therapy

A custom oral appliance gently repositions the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.

This option:

  • Improves airflow and oxygen levels

  • Reduces snoring and apnea events

  • Protects teeth from grinding

  • Is quiet, comfortable, and travel-friendly​

​

NightLase® Laser Therapy

NightLase® is a non-invasive laser treatment that tightens and stabilizes airway tissues.

This option:

  • Reduces snoring

  • Improves airway support

  • Requires no surgery or downtime

  • Is ideal for patients seeking a needle-free solution​​

​

Hybrid Therapy: Combined Treatment

Depending on the results of the sleep apnea analysis, some patients benefit from a hybrid approach, combining NightLase® therapy with a custom oral appliance.

This dual treatment:

  • Enhances airway stability

  • Improves long-term results

  • May reduce dependence on appliances alone

  • Offers more comprehensive symptom relief​
