Sleep Apnea Treatment
Exploring CPAP Alternatives in Royal Palm Beach
Have you been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea and wear a CPAP mask? Do you often sleep without it because you find it uncomfortable?
There may be a better way. Our Royal Palm Beach dental office offers alternate sleep apnea treatment using a simple, comfortable dental device and oral appliance therapy.
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) aren’t compliant with wearing their CPAP masks. They may find it intrusive or uncomfortable or that the machine is too noisy. The result is that the CPAP machine designed to treat their sleep apnea ends up sitting unused in a closet.
Dr. Bussell works with your sleep physician to determine if oral appliance therapy is the right approach to treat your sleep apnea. Oral appliance therapy (OAT) involves wearing a customized dental device while you sleep and can be the perfect CPAP alternative.
OAT gently repositions your lower jaw slightly forward to open the airway and allow you to breathe freely. Our sleep apnea dentist uses dental impressions to customize the appliance to fit comfortably over your teeth and make it easy to wear.
During your consultation for sleep apnea treatment, Dr. Bussell will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for oral appliance therapy.
Is Oral Appliance Therapy Right for You?
Your health and safety are of the utmost importance to us, and we will work closely with your sleep doctor to determine if sleep apnea treatment in Royal Palm Beach, such as oral appliance therapy, is a safe option for you.
Please call our Dental Center of Wellington to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Bussell and get started on improving your health and quality of life.
Snoring and sleep apnea may sound similar, but they’re very different when it comes to your health. Snoring is typically caused by the vibration of soft tissues in your throat as air flows past them during sleep. While snoring can be harmless, and maybe a little annoying to your partner, it doesn't always mean there's a serious problem.
Sleep apnea, however, is a medical condition where your breathing actually stops and starts throughout the night. These pauses can last ten seconds or longer, repeatedly disrupting your sleep cycle and lowering your oxygen levels. People with sleep apnea often snore loudly, but they also tend to wake up gasping, feel constantly tired during the day, and may experience headaches, mood changes, or difficulty concentrating.
If you snore and wake up feeling unrefreshed, it might be time to look deeper. At the Dental Center of Wellington, we offer sleep apnea treatment in Royal Palm Beach that can help manage both the symptoms and the root cause. Our custom oral appliances are designed to gently maintain an open airway while you sleep. This will help reduce snoring and allow you to breathe more freely throughout the night.

Certain types of sleep apnea can be effectively treated with oral appliance therapy provided by your dentist. At the Dental Center of Wellington, we are passionate about helping patients manage obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep. For those with mild to moderate cases or patients who struggle with CPAP machines, a custom-made oral appliance can be a game-changer.
These devices are designed to gently reposition your lower jaw and tongue, keeping your airway open throughout the night. They’re small, quiet, portable, and much more comfortable than bulky masks or machines. Most patients adjust to them quickly and report better sleep, more energy, and reduced snoring within the first few weeks.
