Sleep Apnea and Snore Guards in Airdrie
Custom Oral Appliances for Better Sleep
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and restarts during sleep, preventing restful sleep and reducing oxygen to the brain and body. Affecting millions of Canadians, untreated sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health complications. At Sierra Springs Dental, we offer custom oral appliances as a comfortable, effective alternative to CPAP machines.
Signs You May Have Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea often goes undiagnosed. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation.
Why Choose Oral Appliance Therapy?
Custom oral appliances offer significant advantages over traditional CPAP machines.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
- Assessment: your dentist reviews your symptoms and sleep history, and may recommend a sleep study if you have not had one.
- Fitting: if an oral appliance is appropriate, impressions or digital scans are taken to design your custom device.
- Delivery and adjustment: your appliance is fitted and adjusted for comfort and effectiveness.
- Follow-up: we check how you are sleeping and adjust the appliance as needed. If jaw discomfort develops, our TMJ treatment can help.

Cost of Sleep Apnea Treatment
The cost of a custom oral appliance depends on the type of device and whether a sleep study is required first. Some medical or dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of oral appliance therapy for diagnosed sleep apnea. Sierra Springs Dental offers flexible payment plans, and we provide a personalized quote after your consultation.
