Greenville's Top Dentistry for Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea In Greenville, WI

We prioritize our patients’ overall health, including sleep health. Undiagnosed sleep disorders pose significant risks, such as a 23x higher heart attack risk and unknown sleep conditions in 92% of stroke victims before an attack. Our training enables us to provide education and cost-effective sleep health treatment.

Over 12 million Americans potentially compromise their health due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), often undiagnosed, leading to conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and drowsy driving accidents. Dentistry plays a crucial role in addressing this silent epidemic. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine endorses oral appliances as the primary therapy for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and for severe cases when CPAP treatment isn’t suitable.

What Is Osa?

OSA is a sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing due to airway blockages. Throat muscles, the tongue, tonsils, or the soft palate can fall back and obstruct the airway, causing a significant drop in blood oxygen levels during sleep.

A polysomnogram or sleep study is typically used to diagnose OSA. During this study, a sleep physician monitors brain activity and body functions while the patient sleeps at a sleep lab. The specialist interprets the data to diagnose sleep disorders and recommend treatment. If the sleep doctor suggests it, a dentist with sleep medicine training can provide oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. In some cases, a home sleep study may replace a sleep lab study.

HOW IS Osa Treated?

Treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea may involve surgery, CPAP or BiPAP machines, or oral appliance therapy. Oral appliances are the least invasive option and often suitable for mild to moderate OSA. These appliances, carefully calibrated, comfortably maintain the jaw’s precise position during sleep, ensuring crucial oxygen flow.

All treatment decisions should be discussed with your sleep physician. Once a consistent treatment plan is chosen, we can provide valuable support. If appliance therapy is selected, it’s crucial to design the correct method and positioning to precisely maintain your airway.

Great experience today at my first appointment at Westhill Dental in Greenville! Billie was great with being very informative on my x rays, my cleaning, and tips and tricks for future preventative care. Dr Trent was out of the office this week on vacation but I got to meet Dr Ian. I was more than impressed with how personable he was, definitely not the norm with any “medical” appointment. He took the time to explain terms I didn’t understand as well as explain the different options I had for my future dental health. Highly recommend and will be recommending this office to all!

This was my first experience and I appreciate the care that Nicole showed during my cleaning. She explained everything that she was doing and looking for during my new patient visit. Dr. Trent did the same and was very kind and personable. He explained what he was looking for and took the time to have a conversation to connect. I am truly glad I made the switch to Westhill Dental!😁

I have been a patient at Westhill Dental for about a year and I have nothing but good to say about Dr. Trent and his team. They are professional but yet so friendly and welcoming. I feel like family in just this short time. I have had exams/cleanings, a sleep study and a crown, and It has been a great experience. So glad I found them! Thank you for the great care.
