Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea causes breathing pauses during sleep, leading to fatigue, health risks, and poor quality of life. We offer effective solutions to help you breathe easier and sleep better.
Sleep Apnea Treatment in Garden City, KS
At Randall K McVey, DMD, PA, we understand that quality sleep is essential for your overall health and well-being. Dr. Randall McVey offers specialized care for patients suffering from sleep apnea, providing effective alternatives to traditional CPAP therapy. Our dental approach to sleep apnea treatment helps patients throughout Garden City and surrounding communities get the restful sleep they need for improved health and quality of life.
As a dentist with advanced training in sleep medicine, Dr. McVey works collaboratively with sleep specialists to deliver comprehensive care for this serious condition. Our practice combines medical knowledge with dental expertise to address the underlying causes of your sleep breathing disorder.
Sleep Apnea Treatment We Offer
Our primary treatment option is custom-fitted oral appliance therapy, which provides an effective and comfortable alternative to CPAP machine therapy. These specialized devices are:
- Custom-designed for your unique oral anatomy
- Worn only during sleep
- Comfortable and easy to use
- Highly portable for travel
- Silent during use
- Simple to clean and maintain
These appliances work by gently repositioning your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open during sleep. Dr. McVey precisely adjusts each device to maximize effectiveness while ensuring comfort, allowing you to experience restful sleep without the noise and constraints of a CPAP machine.
For patients with severe sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy, oral appliances can provide life-changing relief and significantly improve health outcomes.
