Our Hours
You know that you don’t feel rested when you wake up in the morning. Your family members complain about your constant snoring. These could be clues that you have a sleep disorder that is preventing you from getting the quality sleep that you want and need to be at your best. You can get treatment for your sleep apnea in Rockdale, TX at our dental office. Our team can help you:
You want to live your best life. You can’t do that if you aren’t getting enough quality sleep. Fortunately, you can get help from your dental team at Sabal Dental. Ask us about apnea at your next dental exam, or call 512-598-9906 to set up a consultation. If you haven’t been diagnosed, talk to us to find out how you can get a sleep test.
People who are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are often given a CPAP machine to treat their condition. To use this machine, you wear a mask while you are sleeping that is connected to the machine. The CPAP pushes air through the mask to keep your airway open. This allows you to keep breathing and remain asleep longer. Unfortunately, many people find CPAPs difficult to use.
This is where we can help. We can create a special oral appliance for you to wear. Your appliance slightly shifts the position of your lower jaw, which keeps your airway from closing while you sleep. Compared to a CPAP, it is:
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, an estimated 30 million people in the United States have OSA. Yet, a majority of people who do have never been diagnosed. Snoring is common among people with this condition, but it is something your loved ones and friends are likely more aware of than you are. Because your snoring keeps them awake, they are more likely to notice your breathing stoppages as well.
Those stoppages are what make sleep apnea so harmful to your overall health. They can happen dozens of times every hour that you are asleep and hundreds of times each night. When you stop breathing, your body responds by waking you up. This is often so brief that you have no memory of it happening. Even so, you rarely stay asleep long enough to reach the restful stages of deep sleep.
People with untreated sleep apnea have a higher risk of health issues, including high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, and cardiovascular disease. Your lack of deep sleep can also lead to sleep deprivation, which makes you more likely to be involved in automobile accidents.
You should see our team if you are experiencing these symptoms:

The staff and hygienist are so kind and understanding. When I need a quick cleaning, they are efficient and get me out with a nice clean smile in 30 minutes ! And Dr Thompson worked well with my PTSD from childhood dental abuse. I’m no longer scared of the big bad needle. I got a crown that didn’t hurt at all! He’s the best !
It was my first time going to a dentist in years and they made it very comfortable for me. They told me step by step what they were going to do before they did it. Made conversation and gave me solid advice. I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
very pleasant appointment! Dr. Stewart and William were awesome! -They both made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. The front staff was friendly! I also felt like I was taken care of in a timely manner.
Had a horrible experience with my previous dentist so I decided to try out Sabal dental which was recommended by a few friends. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I had to come back in for a filling 2 weeks after my first appointment and was in and out within an hour pain free. Love Love Love this office!
I called Sabal Dental to schedule an appointment for my mom because she was having tooth pain. Alicia did a great job verifying her insurance & was able to schedule her the same day for X-rays, an exam & a cleaning. Hilda did a great job, my mother felt very comfortable during the cleaning & she could not be any happier with the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Montalvo, we left with the next appointment scheduled. Thank you Sabal Dental for taking good care of my mother.
I’ve been coming here to Sabal Dental for about two years now and I actually look forward to coming here for my dental check ups. I love the fact that they send out reminders and that they also call you, being that I travel they always try to accommodate my schedule. Plus the staff is just awesome. Thanks 👍🏽
I found the staff personable, friendly, and efficient. I was very pleased with my first experience at Sabal Dental. Thanks for an excellent first visit with Jessica, Allison, and Dr. Blankenship.
I have been going to Sabal dental for over a year now. I went in today to have some Crown work performed. Jolene did an excellent job explaining the procedure and what was going to be done to make me feel completely relaxed. Doctor Sperry took her time to make sure that I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I would highly recommend this dental clinic for any work or general cleaning anyone might need.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat temporarily block your airway while sleeping. When your airflow becomes restricted, you wake up long enough to take a few normal breaths before drifting back to sleep, usually without any awareness that you’re having a problem.
Sleep apnea is a dangerous condition that does more than just disrupt your sleep. It has been linked to serious health problems such as strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. Getting the treatment you need can help you sleep more soundly, feel better, and improve your overall health.
We treat sleep apnea with a custom mouthguard that moves your jaw into a position that keeps your airway open throughout the night. This allows you to breathe easily so you can rest. Many patients prefer a mouthguard to a CPAP machine, another commonly prescribed sleep apnea treatment. Unlike a CPAP, you won’t need to adjust to wearing a mask while you sleep. Plus, you can easily take a mouthguard with you anywhere you go. estibulum at eros.
