Protecting Your Oral Health
In order to maintain good oral health, routine brushing and flossing alone may not cut it.
If you play sports, clench or grind your teeth or suffer from sleep apnea, a dental appliance can help preserve and protect your oral structures and help you get a good night's sleep.
The dental appliances offered at Cedar Ridge Dental are used to protect your mouth. Custom-made sports guards can shield your teeth from harm during physical activity, while night guards and sleep apnea appliances can help alleviate the effects of teeth grinding and sleep apnea, respectively.
Your smile is important to us and we want to help you protect it. Talk to our dental team today to see if dental appliances may be able to give you a better night's sleep or to request a custom-fitted sports guard.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Appliances
Snoring and sleep apnea can disrupt your sleep and negatively impact your overall health and well-being. It can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke if left untreated.
For patients who snore, throat tissues relax and cause the airway to restrict, producing the sound of snoring as oxygen is forced past. In patients with sleep apnea, over-relaxed throat tissues block the airway, forcing the brain to wake them up to breathe.
Our custom-fitted snoring and sleep apnea appliances are designed to reposition the lower jaw and tongue to open the airway and promote uninterrupted breathing during sleep.
Sports Guards
Sports guards prevent injuries during physical activities by absorbing and dispersing the force of impact. Wearing a sports guard lets you enjoy your favorite activities without worrying about harm to your teeth and mouth. They may even help you avoid the need for emergency dental care.
Night Guards
If you grind your teeth while you sleep, a mouth guard will help protect your teeth from damage. If you clench your jaw, a mouth guard will also help prevent you from doing so and help relieve pain.
