Sleep Apnea Solutions with Dr. Chris Hill

​ ​ ​ ​

Struggling with sleep apnea can greatly affect your quality of life, leading to fatigue, health issues, and disrupted sleep. If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea or suspect you might have it, Smile On Dental Studio in St. Louis, MO, is equipped to help. Dr. Chris Hill works closely with local sleep labs for accurate diagnoses and offers effective treatment options tailored to your needs.

Diagnosing Sleep Apnea

If you are experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea, such as loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or sudden awakenings with a sensation of choking, it’s crucial to get a proper diagnosis. Dr. Chris Hill can evaluate your airways and, if necessary, refer you to a reputable St. Louis sleep lab. A comprehensive sleep study will confirm whether sleep apnea is the cause of your symptoms, allowing us to proceed with the most effective treatment.

Oral Appliance Therapy

While CPAP machines are commonly prescribed for sleep apnea, many patients find them cumbersome and uncomfortable, leading to low compliance. As an alternative, Dr. Hill specializes in custom-fitting oral mouthpieces that reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. This solution is similar to wearing a retainer and is specifically designed to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea.

Improve Your Sleep Tonight

Don’t let sleep apnea control your life. With the right treatment, you can enjoy deeper sleep and improved health. Visit Smile On Dental Studio to explore how an oral appliance can replace or supplement your current sleep apnea treatment. Dr. Chris Hill and our team are ready to help you achieve a more restful sleep and a healthier lifestyle.
