Sleep Apnea Treatment (Essendon)

If you or a loved one struggles with loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or interrupted sleep, it may be time to consider sleep apnea treatment. At SIA Dental, we offer personalised care and practical solutions to help improve your sleep, health, and quality of life. Our dental team works closely with you to assess your symptoms, offer diagnosis pathways, and recommend tailored treatment—often involving custom-made oral appliances. For many Melbourne patients, addressing sleep apnea isn’t just about reducing snoring—it’s about waking up refreshed, improving focus during the day, and reducing the long-term health risks associated with this common condition.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles at the back of your throat relax too much, causing the airway to narrow or close. This blockage leads to short pauses in breathing that can last for several seconds or longer—sometimes happening hundreds of times per night.

Common symptoms of sleep apnea:
At SIA Dental, we offer sleep apnea treatment for our Melbourne patients. Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

The Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment

Improve Sleep Quality and Energy Levels

Waking up multiple times during the night impacts your energy, concentration, and mood. With proper sleep apnea treatment, patients often experience deeper, more restorative sleep—leading to better energy and mental clarity throughout the day.

Reduce Health Risks

Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to serious health conditions. By reducing apnoea episodes and improving oxygen flow during sleep, sleep apnea treatments may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

Non-Invasive and Custom Solutions

If you’ve found CPAP machines uncomfortable or are seeking alternatives, custom oral appliances offer a practical, non-invasive solution. These devices are small, discreet, and made to fit your mouth precisely—making them an ideal option for many patients with snoring and sleep apnoea in Melbourne.

Step-by-step process​

The Sleep Apnea Treatment Procedure at SIA Dental

Here’s what you can expect if you choose to begin your snoring and sleep apnoea treatment at SIA Dental:
1
Initial Consultation
We start with a thorough discussion of your symptoms, health history, and lifestyle. If you haven’t yet received a formal diagnosis, we can organise a simple home-based sleep study to screen for sleep apnoea. There may not be a need for costly and uncomfortable hospital sleep studies.
2
Diagnosis
Sleep apnea is typically diagnosed through a sleep study (polysomnography), either in a hospital or at home. Results will show how often your breathing is interrupted and the severity of the condition. We will discuss possible treatment options, risks and costs to assist you in making an informed decision.
3
Appliance Fitting
If you're a suitable candidate, we’ll take precise digital impressions of your teeth and jaw. These are used to fabricate a custom sleep appliance that gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open during sleep.
Shape
Follow-Up Care
Once your appliance is fitted, we’ll monitor your progress with regular check-ups. Adjustments may be made to improve comfort and effectiveness. Our goal is to ensure your snoring and sleep apnea treatment continues to meet your needs.
