Dental Sleep Medicine
Poor sleep affects more than just your energy—it impacts your heart health, focus, mood, and overall quality of life. At Water Brook Dental, our dental sleep medicine services offer comfortable, non-invasive solutions for snoring, teeth grinding, TMJ pain, and obstructive sleep apnea.
What Is Dental Sleep Medicine?
Dental sleep medicine focuses on treating sleep-related breathing disorders and jaw conditions using custom oral appliances. These devices are worn during sleep to keep airways open, reduce jaw strain, and protect teeth—often providing an effective alternative to bulky equipment like CPAP machines.
