A common medical condition known as sleep apnea is characterized by pauses in breathing while you’re asleep. If left untreated, it may cause restless nights, excessive daytime sleepiness, and other major health issues.
We at Davinci Smiles are committed to assisting you in getting peaceful and reviving sleep since we are aware of the negative effects that sleep apnea may have on your general well-being. For that reason, we offer sleep apnea treatments in Edmonton that are tailored to each patient for the best results possible.
In order to diagnose sleep apnea, our experts will first do a physical exam as well as at-home monitoring. We will then ask about sleeping patterns, look for indications of tooth grinding or gum recession, and, if necessary, suggest a personalized oral appliance.
We offer dental appliances and oral health care to enhance sleep quality in addition to helping with prevention and treatment.
To successfully treat this condition, we provide modern and gold-standard sleep apnea treatment in Edmonton. Our main therapeutic strategy is CPAP therapy, or continuous positive airway pressure.
CPAP therapy involves donning a mask while utilizing a machine that constantly forces pressurized air into your airways while you sleep. You will be able to breathe properly as a result, and you will obtain a full night’s sleep with continuous use.

She takes the time to explain every step of the process and makes sure I feel comfortable and informed. Thank you, Dr. Kherani, for over two decades of exceptional dental care!”

An oral appliance for sleep apnea is a custom-fitted device worn in the mouth during sleep. It works by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open, thereby preventing the collapse of tissues that cause breathing interruptions. These are often recommended for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy uses a machine that delivers a continuous stream of air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. It’s highly effective but can be uncomfortable for some users. Oral appliance therapy, on the other hand, involves a dental device that adjusts the jaw position to maintain an open airway. Oral appliances are more convenient and easier to use, especially for mild to moderate cases.
Yes, lifestyle changes can significantly impact the management of sleep apnea. Weight loss is one of the most effective strategies since excess weight can contribute to airway obstruction. Other helpful changes include avoiding alcohol and sedatives, quitting smoking, sleeping on your side instead of your back, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule.
Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
