Midtown, NY Dentist, Dr. Nick M. Mobilia, Treats Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Sleep Medicine

Obstructive sleep apnea causes a patient to stop breathing momentarily throughout the night, often experiencing this cessation of breathing multiple times an hour. Sleep apnea puts the patient at risk, not to mention it can be incredibly scary. If a Midtown, NY patient has been experiencing difficulty sleeping, including excessive snoring or waking up suddenly gasping for air, it can be a sign of sleep apnea. Dr. Nick M. Mobilia (http://www.elitedentalarts.com/about_us/Dr_Nick_M_Mobilia.htm) of Elite Dental Arts offers sleep medicine to treat obstructive sleep apnea and help patients get the quality sleep they need.

A common type of sleep apnea treatment offered by doctors is a CPAP machine. The CPAP therapy involves a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine that is worn over the face to force air into the patient’s airway. Unfortunately, it is an uncomfortable face mask that makes it difficult to sleep. Patients looking for a more comfortable alternative see Dr. Nick M. Mobilia about sleep medicine. Sleep medicine options for obstructive sleep apnea in Midtown, NY include oral appliance therapy and oral surgery.

Oral appliance therapy is offered at Elite Dental Arts by creating a mouthpiece called an oral appliance that is worn while sleeping. Two main oral appliance devices offered by Dr. Nick M. Mobilia in Midtown, NY are the Tongue Retaining Devices (TRD) and the Mandibular Advancement Device (TAD). Oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea is a great option because it not only keeps the airway open, but it does not disturb the patient’s sleep. Patients report that if they knew about oral appliance therapy, they would have bypassed CPAP therapy.

Oral surgery in Midtown, NY is also provided by Dr. Nick M. Mobilia as an option, though this should remain a last resort. Many patients find that oral appliance therapy is a more comfortable treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

At Elite Dental Arts, Dr. Nick M Mobilia offers highly successful sleep apnea treatment through oral appliance therapy. Dr. Mobilia has been trained to treat people through his advanced continuing education courses on Dental Sleep Medicine.
