Sleep Apnea Treatment in Dedham

cosmetic dentist dedham | smiling couple If you’re struggling with loud snoring, restless nights, or waking up tired, you might be dealing with sleep apnea. At Dental Park in Dedham, MA, Dr. Taejoon Park and Dr. Yaerin Lee provide personalized sleep apnea treatment using non-invasive, custom-made oral appliances designed to help you breathe better and sleep soundly.

As proud members of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), we are committed to offering effective and comfortable solutions for patients experiencing sleep-disordered breathing.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder where your airway becomes repeatedly blocked during the night, causing interruptions in breathing. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), happens when the soft tissues in the throat collapse and obstruct airflow.

Common signs of sleep apnea include:

Loud snoring

Waking up gasping or choking

Daytime fatigue or brain fog

Morning headaches

Dry mouth in the morning

Left untreated, sleep apnea can impact your mood, productivity, heart health, and overall quality of life.

Benefits of Oral Appliance Treatment

Many patients choose oral appliance treatment because it offers a more comfortable and user-friendly solution for managing sleep apnea and snoring. Here’s a closer look at why this treatment is gaining popularity:

Better Sleep Quality and Reduced Snoring
Oral appliances gently reposition your jaw or tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep. This helps reduce or even eliminate snoring and improves breathing, leading to deeper, more restful sleep — not just for you, but for your partner too.
Improved Focus and Daytime Energy
Quality sleep directly impacts your mental clarity and energy levels. By minimizing sleep disruptions caused by airway blockage, oral appliance treatment helps you wake up refreshed, boosting your concentration, mood, and productivity throughout the day.
Increased Airflow Without Bulky CPAP Machines
Unlike continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, oral appliances don’t require masks, hoses, or electricity. They work naturally with your body to improve airflow, helping you breathe easier without feeling tethered to a machine.
Comfortable, Easy-to-Use Devices
Each appliance is custom-fitted to your mouth, making it comfortable to wear throughout the night. There are no loud noises, facial straps, or airflow disturbances — just a simple, non-invasive solution that fits into your nightly routine.
Portability for Travel and Lifestyle Flexibility
Whether you're going on a weekend trip or flying overseas, your oral appliance fits in the palm of your hand, making it incredibly travel-friendly. There's no need to pack extra bags or worry about power outlets — just slip it into your travel case and go.

Who Can Benefit From Sleep Apnea Treatment?

Our custom dental solutions are ideal for:

Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
CPAP-intolerant individuals
Snorers who want better sleep quality
Adults experiencing nighttime breathing issues

Even if you're unsure whether you have sleep apnea, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. We'll evaluate your symptoms and guide you through your options for relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between snoring and sleep apnea?

Snoring occurs when air passes through partially blocked airways, producing sound. In contrast, sleep apnea involves complete interruptions in airflow. While snoring can be a symptom of sleep apnea, it doesn’t always mean you have the condition.

2. Can a dentist really help with sleep apnea?

Yes. Dentists like Dr. Yaerin Lee and Dr. Taejoon Park, especially those trained in oral appliance treatment, can provide non-CPAP solutions for managing sleep-disordered breathing.

3. Is the oral appliance comfortable to wear?

Absolutely. Our custom-fitted appliances are designed for comfort and ease of use. Most patients adapt quickly and experience no discomfort.

4. How long will I need to wear the appliance?

Most patients wear the appliance every night. Its duration depends on your response to treatment and long-term sleep goals. We provide ongoing support and adjustments as needed.

5. What if I’ve already tried CPAP but can’t tolerate it?

That’s exactly what oral appliance treatment is designed for - it’s a convenient, CPAP alternative that’s easier to travel with and often better tolerated by patients.
