WHAT IS ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY?

If you’re looking for an alternative to CPAP therapy, then you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Wilk has received advanced and specialized training to be able to provide multiple treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea. Here at Denver Sleep Apnea Center, we offer our patients oral appliance therapy. For patients with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, and those who cannot use CPAP, oral appliance therapy can be a real game-changer!

These comfortable sleep apnea oral appliances are custom-made to fit your mouth. A mandibular repositioning device fits over the upper and lower teeth and positions the jaws and tongue forward while you sleep to prevent tissue in the back of the throat from collapsing. This dental device can keep airways open throughout the night, which can treat sleep apnea, eliminate snoring and help you get healthy sleep night after night.

Quiet & comfortable
Portable & travel-friendly
Non-invasive
No ongoing supply costs or upkeep
Does not dry out the sinus cavity like CPAP devices
Small and handheld for easy maneuvering
Individuals can sleep in the most comfortable positions

PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Wilk saw me for my TMJ issues. I was having really bad migraines, and neck pain. He was so kind and caring. He helped me fix the issues I was having. On my really bad days he gave me injections that made me feel like a whole new person. After he fixed my TMJ I started seeing him for my dental treatment the work that he has done on my mouth is amazing. I had some crown and veneers done on my upper teeth I love my smile. I would recommend Dr. Wilk to anyone!!!

Excellent service every time! Attention to details, helpful and knowledgeable staff!

I was completely satisfied with the professionalism and work of Dr. Wilk and his staff. My husband is very happy that I no longer wake and worry him with my sleep apnea. The appliance Dr. Wilk recommended works very well, even after a year of nightly use. I just had my first annual checkup and the appliance still fits perfectly and is in excellent condition.

I’M INTERESTED IN ORAL APPLIANCE THERAPY. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

To find out if you could benefit from oral appliance therapy, you’ll need to come into our practice for an evaluation. A lot will depend on the type and severity of your sleep apnea. This starts with a simple home test. Gone are the days of spending the night in a lab being wired to a monitor.

Patients who are current CPAP therapy users who still experience symptoms may also find that combining oral appliance therapy with CPAP drastically improves their symptoms and helps them achieve better sleep than with CPAP alone. Dr. Wilk will discuss all your treatment options with you at your initial evaluation to find a solution that you are comfortable with and that will effectively treat your sleep apnea.
