Treatment for Sleep Apnea from Dentist in Solutions Rochester Hills

When men and women in Rochester Hills, MI hear the words “dental office,” they think of cleanings, examinations, and fillings. However, did you know that Dr. John L. Aurelia can also help you with common sleep solutions?

What is dental sleep medicine?

Many sleeping issues such as snoring and sleep apnea can be handled by a dentist. Dr. Aurelia and his staff are dedicated to helping patients with a wide range of concerns with the use of oral appliance therapy. Sleep breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring, can be addressed with the use of a specialized mouth guard. Dental sleep medicine gives patients an opportunity to treat their conditions without cumbersome devices such as the CPAP machine, often recommended by physicians for patients who have OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).

What is OSA?

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that can develop when there is a blockage in the airway while patients sleep. This causes them to wake up, sometimes hundreds of times in one night. Patients who have OSA will often experience the following symptoms:

Snoring
Inability to stay asleep at night
Awaking in the middle of the night
Insomnia
Daytime fatigue
Reduced memory and concentration
Increased depression and anxiety

When a sleep study is performed by a doctor and it has been determined that obstructive sleep apnea is the reason for a patient’s tiredness, they will typically be told to use a CPAP machine. This cumbersome device is often uncomfortable for patients, and many stop complying with treatment. However, with oral appliance therapy, patients can wear a specialized mouth guard that fits comfortably and provides a solution. This same oral appliance can be used for patients with chronic snoring issues.

Patient Review

Barbara D.

Visiting in Rochester Hills and had an aching tooth. A crown that had been recently replaced in FL was apparently not adjusted quite right and was giving the tooth above a great deal of pain. Since Dr. Aurelia is my daughter's dentist, I called at 8A to be given a 9A appointment. Dr. Aurelia diagnosed the issue quickly and knowledgeably as one that just needed a little grinding down of the new crown. What a guy! What a dentist! Very pleased indeed! If I move back to MI, I would use his practice for sure. Everyone was so accommodating and professional.

Wish I could give them more the five stars. This is the best practice I’ve ever been to. After I moved out of town I searched for a local dentist, needless to say I drive almost an hour to go see Dr. Aurelia still. On top of have a great staff and being a great dentist, Dr. Aurelia is kind enough to return messages over the weekend and do what ever he can to help even when he is not working.
