Do you suffer from sleep apnea? Webb Dental Care is now proud to offer sleep apnea screenings right here at our East Wenatchee dental office!
If you suspect you may have sleep apnea, you can schedule a consult with our team to assess your symptoms. We can provide a thorough screening that includes a 3D radiographic airway analysis and a take-home sleep study that is reviewed by a certified Sleep Physician. The sleep physician may recommend a CPAP device to treat sleep apnea. In some cases a custom sleep appliance can be made by our team to help open your airway for better breathing at night. Patients often find custom-made sleep appliances to be less invasive and an overall more comfortable solution if they are suffering from sleep apnea and its side effects.

Sleep Apnea Treatment in East Wenatchee
If our dentists suspect you may need sleep apnea treatment, our team will help you get the care you need!
Sleep apnea patients are often provided with either a CPAP machine or an oral appliance for treatment. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are the most common treatment for most patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and involve a a small air blower connected to a cushioned plastic mask that covers the nose. The blower forces air through a flexible hose into the mask to help keep your airways open during sleep.
At Webb Dental Care, we offer custom oral appliances that are designed to open airways during sleep. Patients who have mild to moderate sleep apnea often prefer oral appliances to bulky CPAP machines. For whatever form of sleep apnea treatment suits you best, Dr. Webb and his team will be with you every step of the way!
