If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your airway becomes blocked repeatedly during the night. This interrupts your breathing, causing you to gasp for air. These interruptions also prevent you from getting the kind of deep sleep you need to feel fully rested and to stay healthy.
Dr. Powell can supply you with a home sleep test, if desired, and have the results reviewed by a board-certified sleep doctor. The key to successful sleep apnea treatment is keeping your airway open throughout the night. One way of doing that is with a CPAP machine. But many people prefer a sleep appliance, which fits a lot like a sports mouthguard.
Unlike a CPAP, a sleep appliance is:

Very nice dentist office here. They really do treat you like family. Holly, Leah, Natalie, and Dr Powell(and the rest of the staff!) all have great attitudes, do a GREAT JOB and are all very helpful with any questions. They’re there to help. Most people don’t like going to a dentist but when you do, I recommend Dr Powell’s office!
I saw Dr. Powell after I fired my previous dentist who misdiagnosed me for almost a year. Dr. Powell took so much time to thoroughly explain my dental issue. He was very patient and answered all of my questions. Dr. Powell was recommended to me by one of my friends and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.
The hygienist was really good. My teeth felt great! I appreciated her positive and encouraging conversation. The doctor was gentle and patient! This office is very comfortable! Highly recommend!
I ALWAYS have a great experience at Dr Powell’s office. They specify to my needs, and extreme allergy difficulties. The hygienists are very gentle, and Dr Powell is very knowledgeable and does great work. I love the front office people because they are so kind and respectful, and knowledgeable about my insurance and copayments. I highly recommend this Dental office!
I am so glad I made the decision to consult with Dr. Powell. He took time to explain the options I had with my tooth 🦷 that accidentally broke. He was so patient and answered all my questions and at the end of the day he made it possible for me to smile again even though there is a long way ahead. Thank you so much for your excellent service. Everyone at the office was so nice too. Rita Ozomah
My routine cleaning was a very positive experience. The office is very clean and organized and all of the staff are wonderful. Dr. Powell is very thorough and easy to talk to. Erica was my hygienist for my most recent visit and honestly she is the best hygienist I have ever had. She listened to everything I explained, made changes throughout my cleaning according to areas of sensitivity and gave me great suggestions for things to try at home. She also took the time to perform a very thorough cancer screening.
We have been going to Dr. Powell since we moved here 6 years ago. Dr. Powell is a caring, professional capable Dentist. We would recommend him highly.
Everyone in this dental office is professional and very good at what they do – including Dr Powell 🙂 Dr Powell found an answer for a dental problem that I was dealing with that was much easier on me AND saved me a little money!! Above that, the atmosphere is relaxing, very friendly, and pleasant! Although I tend to be hesitant to make recommendations, it is easy to recommend this dentist and his office!
Dr. Powell and his staff are amazing. This is a very friendly and caring place. I have been seeing Dr. Powell for a few years now for all my dental work and visit the location every 3 months for regular cleaning and I’m very pleased with him and his staff. The ladies that work behind the counter are amazing! I highly recommend this place.
Best tooth extraction experience! No pain and nice ladies and doctor Powell made me feel comfortable! Dr. Powell is the best in the game!
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects tens of millions of Americans. People who have sleep apnea can stop breathing hundreds of times each night, and this condition can increase your risk of everything from high blood pressure to heart attacks and being in car accidents. The most common form of this disorder is obstructive sleep apnea, which our doctors can help you treat.
One of the most common signs of sleep apnea is loud, chronic snoring that persists despite a change in sleep position or the use of nasal strips and other gadgets. Other common symptoms include daytime fatigue, irritability, lapses in concentration and memory, weight gain, headaches, sore throat, and dry mouth in the morning.
CPAP machines do produce some noise, which can be annoying to you and your bed partner. Silence is just one of the advantages of treating sleep apnea with a mouthguard instead of a CPAP. Most people also find it easier to adjust to wearing a mouthguard and more comfortable. In addition, you can easily transport a mouthguard by simply putting it into a purse or pocket.
