"Finally- a cure for my snoring!  I had tried everything to stop snoring, but nothing worked.  I even snored while using a CPAP machine for my sleep apnea!  I was embarrassed, tired and certainly growing weary of the snoring issue.  It was definitely a problem for my husband too.

Dr. Kissinger-Blakeley prescribed and fit me for an oral appliance made by SomnoDent.  It is similar to a mouthguard, however it is custom fit to pull my lower jaw forward and keep my airway open.  It only took a couple of nights to adjust to wearing the appliance, and best part is that from the VERY FIRST night, I stopped snoring!

This appliance has been a godsend!  Both my husband and I are sleeping better, and are thrilled with the results of this appliance.  Thank you, Dr. Kissinger-Blakeley!"

Have you been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a disorder in which you have one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep? Sleep apnea often results in a poor night’s sleep for both the sufferer and their partner. The most commonly known symptoms are loud snoring and feeling excessively tired throughout the day. There are many more dangerous health risks associated with sleep apnea, however, including an increased risk of heart attack and stroke due to the lack of oxygen supplied to the body.

A well-known treatment for sleep apnea is the wearing of a CPAP however several patients often find wearing the CPAP extremely uncomfortable or cannot tolerate it.

Patients looking for an alternative may be candidates for an oral appliance to treat mild to moderate OSA. Willow Creek Dental is proud to work with SomnoMed™ to offer the SomnoDent MAS® appliance to qualified patients.

Additionally, many major insurance companies may cover an oral appliance to treat sleep apnea. As a free service, we can contact your insurance company on your behalf to verify your benefits.
