Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea In Our Practice | Vivos.com

Our practice is uniquely qualified to help you recognize the leading indicators of obstructive sleep apnea. We work closely with you and a team of specialists, including a Board Certified sleep physician, to arrive at a proper diagnosis. We design a personalized treatment plan to provide immediate relief and hope for a lasting resolution.

1. Sleep Assessment (Home Sleep Test)

Gather sleep diagnostic data from the comfort and privacy of your own bed. Data is analyzed by a sleep physician to obtain a diagnosis.

Healthy sleep is often overlooked and even ignored. Poor sleep contributes to a variety of health problems and may even lead to premature death. Healthy sleep contributes to overall health and vitality, mental health and wellness.

2. Medical Imaging (Airway Scan)

Our team will perform a scan of anatomical features which may be the underlying cause of the obstruction in your airway using a cone-beam computed tomography system.

Individuals who suffer from sleep disorders will most often present with seemingly unrelated health problems. Obesity, mental health problems including depression and anxiety, fatigue, and other physical problems such as chronic pain and fibromyalgia are often signs of an underlying sleep disorder.

3. Treatment Plan (Oral Appliance)

Dr. Jung will custom design an oral appliance you will wear while you sleep. Oral appliance therapy may provide immediate and lasting relief from obstructive sleep apnea.

A variety of treatments for OSA and other sleep and breathing disorders can provide immediate relief of symptoms. Oral appliance therapy designed to expand the anatomical features of the airway may provide a lasting solution.

Just Ask

If you suspect you or someone you love may be suffering from poor sleep, ask us! Our team can help you identify the indicators, provide for an in-home sleep study and make recommendations for treatment.

How Dr. Jung Can Help

Your sleep & airway focused dentist in Mansfield is an excellent starting point for addressing sleep concerns because we are skilled in recognizing the signs of this condition, especially those related to oral and facial development. Dr. Jung can identify the dental impacts of sleep apnea. Our familiarity with your oral health history makes us well-positioned to detect and address these issues. Dr. Jung has also undergone specialized further education and training to address sleep apnea, making her an expert in these areas. Here are some of our specialized services:

• Collaborative Care: We collaborate with other healthcare professionals for holistic care, addressing any related respiratory or sleep issues.
• Laser Therapy: The DEKA QuiteNite laser can be used in various ways to help treat sleep disorders. This is done by tightening areas in the mouth that could limit airflow, which causes snoring. This is a painless procedure.
