Sleep Apnea and Snoring Treatment
Let CarolinasDentist Sleep Apnea Treatment Return Your Restful Nights
Our Sleep Apnea Treatment Delivers Results
We can’t underestimate the value of sleep for our health. It’s crucial for a healthy body and a healthy life, and when that’s interrupted by something like sleep apnea, it can cause trouble. Sleep apnea is a disorder where you have pauses while breathing or shallow breaths as you sleep. The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea, which is when your airway actually collapses or gets blocked resulting in that interference with your breathing. The effects of this sleep disorder reach much further than exhaustion during the day or loud snoring at night; sleep apnea has actually been linked to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
You may wonder why you would need to see a dentist to treat your sleep apnea. We can create a custom oral device as an effective treatment solution for those with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea! We’d love to help you get back to the days of restful nights, rejuvenated days, and a healthier future.
Signs of Sleep Apnea
Even though sleep apnea occurs, well, while you sleep, there are still some symptoms you can be on the lookout for when you wake up and check for throughout the day. If you sleep with a partner, they may be able to let you know if they notice any of the following, too. (They might be too eager to tell you, in fact!) Here are some of the most common signs of sleep apnea:
- Snoring
- Waking up abruptly with shortness of breath
- Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking
- Morning headaches
- Fatigue
- Difficulty paying attention
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- Weight gain
If any of these ring a bell, then don’t wait for sleep apnea to cause even more damage to your health. Contact CarolinasDentist so we can come up with a sleep apnea treatment plan that’s right for you.
Oral Appliance Therapy—Alternative to CPAP
CPAP may be the standard when it comes to treating sleep apnea, but it’s not your only option. We provide oral appliance therapy as a less-invasive alternative that’s great for those who either have mild sleep apnea or who simply can’t tolerate the CPAP.
The oral appliance is a removable mouthpiece that you put in like you would a mouthguard or retainer. It stabilizes your tongue and repositions your jaw to prevent your airway from collapse and improve airflow. Many patients prefer oral appliance therapy because it doesn’t require them to make a drastic lifestyle change.

Great staff! Professional and fun to be around! Wonderful ambiance! Kids and I absolutely love the place! Highley recommended!!!

Great experience!Edit: I would write a whole new review but this will work- I came back to get a LOT of work done in 3 different appointments. Today was a TOUGH one- not at all because of the dentist, but because my face just wouldn't get numb. Let me just say she was SO patient and so reassuring. Both the dentist and her wonderful assistant know exactly what they are doing and I'm so impressed by the work they do. If you have dental anxiety or aren't sure where to start- this is the place. Thank yall for doing a wonderful job. Read Less

I also don't have insurance and was EXTREMELY nervous but the receptionist was amazing and super sweet. She made me feel at easy about my situation. My wait wasn't very long. The dental assistant (I forgot her name) was amazing and so was Dr. Mullins. He was able to find a solution to help me without breaking the bank (for someone without insurance). I had to come back the next day which was totally fine and I still received excellent service from everyone and Dr. V. If I wasn't moving I would definitely continue to go back. The office is super clean and location is easy to get to. I highly recommend going here Read Less

GLORIA ONTIVEROS12/13/2021Excellent first experience here. Both Brooke and Dr. Bodah were laid back, and great conversationalists. When it came down to business, however, they were clearly proficient. No doubt they were honest as well, which isn't something you can say about every medical professional these days.
