Sleep apnea is a prevalent condition throughout the country. Summit Dental Care cites data from the National Sleep Foundation to estimate more than 18 million sufferers in the US. Those with obstructive sleep apnea have been linked to a higher risk of heart disease stemming from heightened blood pressure. As such, it’s vital that sufferers seek out a timely and effective treatment.
Bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, is often a telltale sign of sleep apnea - and as such, dentists are uniquely suited to detect the condition through general oral health assessments. Summit Dental Care offers its services in this regard.
Its staff are able to provide consultations with the aim of confirming sleep apnea before recommending an appropriate response - typically in the form of oral appliances.
A practice representative explains: “The appliance, similar to a retainer, clamps onto the teeth in your upper and lower jaws. In some cases, the upper and lower portions are connected with a tube that keeps your lower jaw, chin, and tongue in a forward position. With these parts pushed forward, the airway is kept open - allowing you to breathe properly during every stage of sleep.”
Summit Dental Care also compares oral appliances favorably to CPAP machines - which many patients consider to be more intrusive and disturbing. As a direct result, CPAP alternatives are in high demand among sleep apnea sufferers - the Seattle dentist suggests its appliances as an obvious solution.
The Seattle dental team announces its sleep apnea treatments as an addition to its wider range of cosmetic and restorative dental care services. Among other options, Summit Dental Care is also equipped to fit tailored crowns, aligners, and Invisalign attachments for patients hailing from North Beacon Hill, Queen Anne, First Hill, and beyond.
“The staff is so nice and the office provides high-quality work,” said one recent patient. Referring to the practice’s head dentist, they added: “Dr. Vu is a great conversationalist, really seems to care for his patients, and is always sure to provide precise and beautiful work.”
