Don’t Let Sleep Apnea Steal Your Health—or Your Life
You deserve to feel rested, clear-headed, and in control of your day. But something deeper could happen if you wake up tired, snore loudly, or struggle to stay awake in the afternoon. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects millions of Americans—and many don’t even know they have it.
At Artistic Dentistry in Houston, we care about more than your teeth. We care about your whole health. And that includes your sleep.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition in which the airway becomes blocked while you sleep, often by soft tissues in the throat. This blockage causes your breathing to pause repeatedly, dropping your oxygen levels and forcing your body to wake up just enough to gasp for air.
You might not remember waking up. But your body does. Night after night, it takes a toll.
What Happens When Sleep Apnea Goes Untreated?
Sleep apnea can feel like just snoring or fatigue. But it’s a dangerous, silent condition with life-threatening consequences.
- 92% of stroke victims had undiagnosed sleep apnea
- It increases the risk of heart attack by up to 23 times
- It raises your chances of high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight gain
- It affects your mood, memory, and focus—making driving and work dangerous
- It strains your relationships and quality of life
You don’t have to live this way. There’s help. There’s hope.
A Simple Dental Solution That Could Save Your Life
If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea or struggle with CPAP, oral appliance therapy may be the answer. These custom-made devices gently reposition your lower jaw while you sleep, keeping your airway open and your body breathing freely—all night long.
They are:
- Small and portable
- Quiet and comfortable
- Easy to wear, clean, and travel with
- Recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine for mild to moderate sleep apnea
Best of all, they can dramatically improve your sleep and health without surgery or machines.
How the Process Works
- Get a diagnosis: If you haven’t already had a sleep study, we can help refer you for one—often done in the comfort of your home.
- Consultation and fitting: If you qualify for an oral appliance, we’ll create a custom-fit device for your mouth and airway.
- Sleep better: Most patients notice better sleep, more energy, and fewer symptoms within days of use.
We partner with your sleep physician to ensure your treatment is safe, precise, and effective.
You’re Not Just Tired—You’re Being Pulled Under
Every night, untreated sleep apnea robs you of oxygen, energy, and life. But it doesn’t have to. At Artistic Dentistry, we see the difference oral appliance therapy can make—and we’re here to walk that path with you.
