A custom oral appliance instead of a CPAP hose — sleep better, quieter, together.
A sleep apnea dentist in Louisville can often do what a CPAP machine couldn't get you to tolerate. At Dentist in Louisville we fit custom oral appliances that hold your airway open while you sleep — a quiet, portable, hose-free alternative for snoring and many cases of obstructive sleep apnea. If you (or the person next to you) haven't had a silent night in years, start here.
Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the jaw and tongue relax backward during sleep and pinch the airway shut. A custom-fitted mandibular advancement appliance holds your lower jaw gently forward, keeping the airway open all night.
We work alongside your physician: a medical sleep study diagnoses apnea, and we provide the appliance therapy — an approach recommended for many mild-to-moderate cases and for anyone who cannot tolerate CPAP.
Even without apnea, chronic snoring strains relationships and wrecks sleep quality. The same jaw-advancement principle quiets most habitual snoring — and unlike drugstore boil-and-bite devices, a dentist-fitted appliance stays put, stays comfortable, and lasts for years.
Jaw joint (TMJ) pain, morning headaches, and nighttime clenching often travel together with sleep-disordered breathing. During your consultation we evaluate your bite, joints, and airway together, so one custom appliance plan can address the whole picture instead of chasing symptoms separately.
Everything you need to know before your first visit. Have another question?
Call 502-239-9751 →Yes — dentists provide custom oral appliance therapy, a recognized treatment for snoring and many mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea cases, coordinated with your physician's diagnosis.
For sleep apnea treatment, yes — a physician-ordered sleep study confirms the diagnosis. For snoring-only appliances, we can often proceed after a screening exam.
For mild-to-moderate apnea and CPAP-intolerant patients, an oral appliance is often the therapy people actually use every night — and the best treatment is the one you use. Severe cases usually still need CPAP.
Oral appliances for diagnosed apnea are often covered under medical (not dental) insurance. We help you verify coverage before starting.
We review your benefits up front and lay out every option in plain language — so cost is never the reason care gets delayed.
We work with most major providers — including as a Medicaid dentist in Louisville — plus Medicare for adults and children.
