Sleep Apnea Treatment in Frisco, TX
Rest Better. Breathe Easier. Live Healthier.
At Stonebrook Dental Frisco, we care about more than just your smile—we care about your overall health, including how well you sleep. Millions of people unknowingly suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a serious condition that affects your breathing during sleep and may significantly increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic fatigue.
If you snore loudly, wake up tired, or feel drowsy throughout the day, you could be living with untreated sleep apnea—and dentistry can help.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common yet underdiagnosed sleep disorder affecting an estimated 20 million adults in the U.S. It occurs when the soft tissues of the throat—such as the tongue or soft palate—collapse during sleep, blocking the airway and causing breathing to repeatedly stop and start throughout the night.
These interruptions, called apneas, can occur 30 times or more per hour, reducing oxygen levels and preventing deep, restorative sleep. Most people with OSA are completely unaware they have it—often it’s a partner who notices the snoring, gasping, or choking first.
Don’t ignore the warning signs—your sleep may be putting your health at risk.
Signs You May Have Obstructive Sleep Apnea
If you experience any of the symptoms below, a sleep consultation could be lifesaving:
Primary symptoms:
• Loud or disruptive snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
Other common signs:
• Morning headaches or grogginess
• Frequent nighttime urination
• Irritability, mood changes, or depression
Higher risk factors include:
• Being overweight or having a large neck
