What is Sleep Apnea?

Understanding the Condition

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions, known as apneas, can occur hundreds of times a night, causing your body to wake up briefly to resume breathing. This leads to fragmented, poor-quality sleep, which can have significant impacts on your health.

There are two main types of sleep apnea:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

The most common form, caused by a physical blockage of the airway, usually due to the collapse of soft tissue in the back of the throat.

Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)

Less common, this occurs when the brain fails to send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and more.

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Do You Recognize These Signs?

Many people with sleep apnea are unaware that they have the condition. Common symptoms include:

If you or your partner notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek a professional diagnosis and treatment.

Our Approach to Sleep Apnea Treatment

Personalized Solutions for Better Sleep

At Smile LA, we offer a range of effective treatments for sleep apnea, customized to meet your individual needs. Our goal is to help you achieve restful sleep and improve your overall health.

Treatment Options Include:

Custom-Fitted Oral Appliances

For many patients, a custom-fitted oral appliance (often referred to as a night guard) is an effective treatment option. This device works by gently repositioning the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing or eliminating apneas.

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

In cases of moderate to severe sleep apnea, a CPAP machine may be recommended. This device delivers a continuous stream of air through a mask worn over the nose or mouth, keeping the airway open.

Lifestyle Modifications

For some patients, making certain lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, avoiding alcohol before bedtime, and sleeping on your side, can help reduce the severity of sleep apnea.

Surgical Options

In severe cases or when other treatments are ineffective, surgery may be recommended to remove obstructions or enlarge the airway.

During your consultation, Dr. Kourosh Yousefzadeh and Dr. Razmik Galustian will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
