Rest Well With Treatment For Sleep Apnea in Highland, MI

Tired of snoring? Been hearing complaints from your sleeping partner? That’s just the beginning of the problems caused if you have sleep apnea in Highland. A quick evaluation in our dentist office can protect you, so don’t delay! Sleep apnea treatment at Highland Advanced Dental Care will:

  • Protect You From Premature Death – Sleep apnea side effects include an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, obesity, depression, kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke. In fact, as many as 65 percent of stroke patients have sleep apnea!
  • Help You Sleep and Feel Better – Rest plays an important role in all your mental and physical functions. Once you begin getting the rest you need, your overall health will begin to improve. You’ll feel better than you have in ages! Plus, you’ll lower your risk for having a sleep-related car accident.
  • Keep You From Using an Intrusive CPAP – We can often help patients avoid a cumbersome CPAP. While effective, there is a low compliance rate with CPAP. Research shows that 75 percent of CPAP users dislike their machines or don’t wear them correctly. Whenever possible, Dr. LoCascio prefers to prescribe an oral appliance, which will reposition your jaw and enable you to sleep more comfortably.

Get the help you need with a simple oral appliance to live a healthier, longer life. Call 248-329-3552 now to set up a free consultation appointment with Dr. LoCascio, a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) and the American Sleep and Breathing Academy (ASBA). He is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM).

You’ll Love the Convenience of a CPAP Alternative

It may come as a surprise that the best person to treat your sleep apnea symptoms is a qualified dentist, but it’s true! While we will work with your primary care physician to get an official diagnosis, your treatment plan can be created in our office, just like we do with our general dentistry services. Using dental impressions, Dr. LoCascio can fit you for a custom-made sleep appliance. The appliance will:

  • Keep You and Your Bed Partner Comfortable – Unlike a CPAP, there is no distracting noise, face mask, or tubing to get used to.
  • Fit Perfectly – Since it’s made just for you using impressions of your teeth, the appliance will stay in place with no discomfort.
  • Make It Easier to Sleep While Traveling – With no need for distilled water, batteries, or electricity, you can use your appliance anywhere – including on long flights or while camping.
