Why Sleep Apnea is Dangerous

Have you been told you snore frequently and loudly most nights? Do you feel tired during the day or wake up often at night? If so, you may be suffering from sleep apnea, a condition that prevents you from breathing during the night and limits oxygen from getting to your brain. While this is concerning enough, long term sleep apnea can even increase your risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke! This occurs when the soft tissues of the mouth block your airway while you lay down and air is unable to get to the lungs. At Imagine Your Smile, Dr. Mark Wilhelm offers effective sleep apnea treatments to improve your night’s rest and keep you healthy. Not to mention, your bed partner will likely be thankful for less snoring!

Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

  • Frequent snoring
  • Waking up during the night
  • Chronic sore throat
  • Morning headaches
  • Daytime drowsiness

Comfortable Mouthguard Treatment

Most patients who have sleep apnea utilize a CPAP machine, which continually pushes air through their airway while they sleep. However, this is often cumbersome, noisy and uncomfortable for patients and many find they are CPAP intolerant. Our prosthodontist Dr. Wilhelm offers a solution with oral appliance mandibular advancement devices. These are customized mouthguards that adjust your jaw to the most ideal position, moving the soft tissues away from the airway and allowing for proper breathing. These oral appliances are small, allowing you to sleep without machines while still promoting proper breathing. Dr. Wilhelm creates these oral appliance sleep apnea treatments unique for each patient. Your mouthguard will fit comfortably in your mouth thanks to the digital images we capture that help us create an ideal fit. While wearing this device you will sleep better, be more rested in the morning and ease your snoring—ultimately improving your quality of life and your health!

Expectations exceeded. I haven't had much luck in this field but I was treated very well here. The appointment was set up within a week! They took me in a little early. Dr. Wilhelms assistant was fabulous, she was not only nice but genuine! Budget was an important aspect of my service needs and I was given many options and found a reasonable solution. They went on to take the impressions for the next step without first making me schedule a new appointment . They showed me costs upfront and total cost, (no hidden side service, xray, taxes, etc.) I highly reccomend this establishment every step of the way.

I totally enjoyed coming in and being greeted right away with "Hi Cindi" How are you today? Would you like coffee or water? The staff are Amazing! The atmosphere is very welcoming and I LOVE the Music! Dr. Wilhelm is totally REMARKABLE!! He spent so much of his time making the fitting of the plate with my teeth every week that I came in. Making sure that everything is lining up the way it should be. I REALLY LOVE MY SMILE and every bit of what Dr. Wilhelm paid off. FINALLY!! I totally would recommend my family and friends to go and see him. He is very reasonable and worth it!!

I can't say enough about my great experience with the entire staff. I had previous implants and dentures started by someone else and was very dissatisfied with the results so far. Dr. Mark and Steph were great to work with and so nice and patient with me! Dr. Mark immediately saw what the problems were before I even explained what I felt was wrong. Over the next several months, he worked with me to find the perfect placement and look. He even brought in an outside speech therapist for a consultation for me. I am completely satisfied and grateful for his time and expertise. My only regret is that I didn't go see him in the first place!
