A New Approach to Treating Sleep Apnea
An estimated 50 to 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ellis Dental now proudly offers an easy and convenient solution for both diagnosing and treating sleep apnea. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality care for our patients suffering from sleep related breathing problems including snoring and sleep apnea. Uncomfortable and cumbersome continuous positive airway pressure machines (CPAP) are no longer the only option. Contact us today for a consultation to see if you are a candidate for a comfortable and easy to use oral device.

Treating Patients with Mild to Moderate Sleep Apnea
Sleep patterns are an important aspect to general overall health and wellbeing. There are many indications that sleep apnea may be present. At Ellis Dental, we look for these symptoms during regular exams as well as during our sleep screening process. Typical symptoms may include:
Loud, frequent snoring
Breathing pauses (a bed partner may hear a person gasp for breath in their sleep)
Excessive daytime sleepiness (the ability to fall asleep anywhere, at any time)
Memory problems
Irritability or moodiness
Decreased sex drive or impotence
Morning headaches
Acid reflux, indigestion or heartburn
