Alexandria Sleep Apnea Dentist

Quiet nights with comfortable oral appliance therapy

Personalized care for better sleep and better health

Interrupted sleep can affect everything from your energy to your overall health. At Grant H. Schneider II, DDS, we provide customized sleep apnea treatment in Alexandria to help patients breathe easily through the night and wake up feeling rested.

Using advanced oral appliance therapy, our Alexandria sleep apnea dentist, Dr. Schneider, offers a simple alternative to bulky CPAP machines. These small, custom-fitted devices reposition your jaw slightly forward, keeping your airway open and reducing snoring and breathing interruptions. If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea and want a more comfortable solution, our team can help you explore sleep apnea treatment that fits your lifestyle.

Answers to common questions about sleep apnea

What causes sleep apnea?

It occurs when throat muscles relax too much during sleep, temporarily blocking airflow. Contributing factors may include anatomy, weight, and certain lifestyle habits.

Will oral appliances help with snoring?

Yes. By keeping your airway open, they often reduce or eliminate snoring caused by mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Is this treatment as effective as CPAP?

For many mild to moderate cases, yes. CPAP remains the gold standard for severe apnea, but oral appliances are a more comfortable alternative for many patients.

How long until I notice results?

Many patients report better sleep quality and less daytime fatigue within the first few weeks of consistent use. Our Alexandria sleep apnea dentist will fill you in on what to expect.

Can sleep apnea go away on its own?

No, it’s a chronic condition. However, with proper care, its effects can be significantly reduced, improving both your sleep and your long-term health.
