Dear Patients:

We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients. Sabal Dental will reopen on May 1, 2020.

While things are certainly not “business as usual,” we wanted to let you know we are here for you in our clean, comfortable, and safe environment. Our standards are well “above and beyond” what the American Dental Association and Centers for Disease Control recommend. We love what we do and the people we do it for.  We are always here for you.

This high level of service is just one of the many ways that we are supporting our community, and it is included in the excellent work that we do…we go through a comprehensive disinfection after every patient is cared for.

All our dentists and team members here at Sabal Dental will continue to go above and beyond for our patients…it is second nature. For this and many other reasons, many of our patients have trusted their care with us for years.

We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Get a Better Night's Sleep

So after patients had been treated for sleep apnea, many patients feel like they've got the energy that they used to not have. They don't feel as fatigued in the day, maybe not as just foggy mind. They're able to perform better at work. They don't seem as agitated, and they don't feel like their body is just working as hard in order to get that oxygen that they need.

So the good thing about treating sleep apnea is you're able to give that patient a better quality sleep. And sleep is very important, you know? So by actually getting them into those appliances, which help to pull that tongue away from the throat, you're able to breathe better, better sleep, better quality of life. So this is the best of the upside of a lot of patients that come in that have treatments done. They just feel like they're a new person. They have more energy, more revitalized, and that's what we're looking forward to treat these patients.

Our sleep apnea treatment will:

  • Stop the snoring that may be keeping you – and others in your household – awake
  • Eliminate frightening episodes of gasping for breath during sleep
  • Lower your risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and other conditions that medical research has linked to apnea
  • Help you feel better rested and more alert throughout the day

If you are experiencing loud snoring or other sleep apnea symptoms, let us know at your next dental exam. If you’d rather not wait, call us today at 361-317-7226. We can help arrange a sleep test for you, if needed.

Enjoy The Convenience Of A Sleep Apnea Appliance

If you suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, your airway becomes blocked repeatedly throughout the night, causing you to gasp for breath. If you have severe sleep apnea, you may need a CPAP machine. You’ll breathe the pressurized air produced by the machine through a face mask. This keeps your airway open while you sleep.

For less severe cases, you may be able to wear a sleep apnea appliance instead. Many people prefer an appliance because of its:

  • Comfort – An apnea appliance fits easily in your mouth, much like an athletic mouthguard. There’s no mask or tubing to bother you.
  • Convenience – You can slip an appliance into your pocket. It requires no electricity, batteries, or distilled water. So it’s easy to take with you anywhere you go.
  • Low Profile – Both you and your bed partner will find an appliance less distracting than a CPAP.

Suspect you may have sleep apnea in Calallen Corpus Christi? Call Sabal Dental at 361-317-7226. Our dentists will evaluate you and refer you to a physician, if needed.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when your tongue and other soft tissues in your throat relax during sleep and block your air passages. When this happens, your brain causes your body to wake up and take in more oxygen. After you do, you drift back to sleep once more – until the cycle repeats itself. Most sleep apnea sufferers aren’t even aware this is happening.

Of course, sleep apnea disrupts your sleep and can leave you fatigued, moody, and unproductive during the day. But sleep apnea has also been linked to other, more serious health concerns. It can contribute to high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, and depression. Getting treatment now can improve both your quality of life and length of life.

For sufferers of severe sleep apnea, a CPAP machine may be needed. It pumps a steady stream of air through your airway to keep it open. For mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea, a custom-fitted oral appliance may be used. Worn while sleeping, it will push your lower jaw slightly forward to help keep your airway open. It’s an effective, convenient alternative to a CPAP machine.
