Just Nice Sleep is a service offered by Perry Hall Dental Associates, designed for individuals with mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring, or those with severe sleep apnea who are unable to tolerate Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines.
Interested individuals can contact the office directly for more information. The process begins with an airway screening and consultation. After this, the dentist may recommend a sleep study to monitor breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and overall sleep quality. Home sleep tests are available for purchase through the link above and can be sent to the patient. Once the data is collected, the results are evaluated by a medical doctor, and the findings are sent to both the patient and our dental office. The medical doctor will review the results with the patient through telemedicine and may potentially diagnose sleep apnea.
If mild to moderate sleep apnea is diagnosed, or if recommended by the doctor for severe sleep apnea, the dentist will create a custom-fit oral appliance designed to reposition the jaw and tongue, helping to keep the airway open during sleep. These appliances are made from durable, comfortable materials and are tailored to meet each patient's specific needs.
This dental service not only helps alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea but also improves overall health and quality of life, as untreated sleep apnea can lead to various other health complications.
