Discover effective sleep apnea and snoring treatment options in San Francisco, CA at San Francisco Dental Wellness. Dr. Chris Chui, double-boarded in Dental Sleep Medicine and Clinical Director for Dental Sleep Medicine at the San Francisco VA Hospital, specializes in treating obstructive sleep apnea using oral appliances without CPAPs.

Many patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea can often find relief through Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), a custom removable device that adjusts the position of the lower jaw and tongue to minimize airway obstruction. The ProSomnus Micro 2, expertly designed to maintain the jaw in an optimal position, offers effective relief without resorting to advanced methods, featuring a thin, strong, and comfortable design.

Moderate sleep apnea can be addressed with either an oral appliance or, if needed, a stronger solution, such as the CPAP machine, may also be an effective treatment option. A CPAP machine delivers a constant stream of air through a mask over the mouth and/or nose to maintain an open airway during sleep, while an oral appliance can serve as an alternative or complement if CPAP intolerance occurs.

The ProSomnus Micro 2, an oral appliance designed to be worn during sleep, effectively reduces or eliminates snoring by positioning the jaw optimally; its thin, strong, and comfortable design, along with ample tongue space, expert craftsmanship, single-piece construction, and easy maintenance, offer additional advantages.

There are many different causes of obstructive sleep apnea, but most commonly it is caused by excessive weight or obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnea will not just go away on its own - and you will continue to face the same struggles every day, such as fatigue, irritability, inability to concentrate, etc. Making lifestyle changes like losing weight can help to resolve the symptoms and alleviate OSA.

Feeling tired throughout the day, loud snoring during sleep, waking up gasping for air, morning headaches or sore throats, difficulties concentrating, and mood disorders are all warning signs of sleep apnea. Others may notice that you stop breathing in your sleep.

No. Snoring can be associated with obstructive sleep apnea, but not always. Sometimes snoring is caused by other factors. It depends on why you are snoring as to whether or not it will go away on its own. For instance, if it is due to a cold, sinus infection, or allergy, the snoring may disappear as soon as the ailment goes away. Otherwise, chronic snoring doesn’t necessarily stop on its own.

It is possible, yes. Chronic snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and those with the condition are at greater risk for obesity, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, and more.

If you are plagued by daytime sleepiness or the inability to concentrate, you may want to seek help - as your lack of quality sleep is negatively impacting your day.

Your body requires restorative sleep every night; if you don't get it, your risk of serious health problems increases, including stroke, heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression, and anxiety.

Yes, there are options for treating sleep apnea without a CPAP machine. Although lifestyle modifications like losing weight are often helpful, they can take a long time to produce results. In many patients, oral appliance therapy can alleviate OSA symptoms right away.

Having an at-home sleep study with Dr. Chui is the best way to determine just how mild or severe your sleep apnea is - and the best method of treatment. Schedule an appointment today to get started.

Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a sleep medicine specialist, but testing can be done at home with an at-home sleep monitor rather than a sleep lab. After your testing, your doctor will analyze the results and give you a diagnosis.

Dr. Chui is a kind, caring, gentle, and honest dentist. If you’re looking for a dentist that feels more like a dear family friend that you trust, then see Dr. Chui. I have been his patient for over 20 years and have followed him where ever he goes. I have since moved out of the area and I travel over 200 miles to see him. That’s how good he is.
