Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment Lancaster PA

At Weierbach & Genetti Prosthodontics, we understand the impact that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring can have on your quality of life. That’s why we offer oral appliance therapy (sleep apnea dental appliance) services tailored to addressing this condition and improving your sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep due to the relaxation of throat muscles, which obstructs the airway. This interruption in breathing can lead to fragmented sleep, daytime fatigue, and even serious health consequences if left untreated.

While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is considered the gold standard treatment for sleep apnea, we recognize that it may not be suitable for everyone. That’s where we come in. Our goal is to provide effective alternatives for patients who find CPAP therapy intolerable or challenging to use consistently. Our approach involves close collaboration with your sleep physician to ensure that the treatment aligns with your specific needs and medical history. We believe in a personalized approach to care, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual patient.

We offer comfortable and custom-designed sleep apnea appliances, also known as oral appliances or mandibular (jaw) advancement devices. These appliances are worn during sleep and work by gently repositioning the jaw to open and prevent airway obstruction and promote unobstructed breathing throughout the night.

To enhance your experience in our office, we utilize state-of-the-art technology, including computer intraoral scanning, which eliminates the need for traditional gooey impressions. This advanced method ensures precision and comfort when creating your custom appliance, enhancing your overall treatment experience and getting you sleeping better in a matter of weeks.

Our patients have reported how small and comfortable the appliance is while being extremely effective in giving them improvement in their sleep. They report how much more energy they have throughout the day and feel the daytime brain “fog” and sleepiness has lifted. We commonly hear our patients describe their treatment results as “life changing”.

If you’re struggling with snoring or sleep apnea and seeking an alternative to CPAP therapy, we’re here to help. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a better night’s sleep and improved overall health.
