Las Vegas’ Choice for Sleep Apnea & Dentistry
How Oral Appliances Help You Breathe Better
Waking up tired, snoring loudly, or gasping for air at night?
You could be dealing with sleep apnea — a serious condition that disrupts your breathing while you sleep. But here’s something many people don’t know:
Dentists can help.
At Desert Hills Dental, we offer custom oral appliances for sleep apnea in Las Vegas — a simple, non-invasive option that helps you sleep more soundly and breathe more freely.
What is sleep apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common form of sleep apnea. It happens when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep, often due to relaxed muscles in the throat and tongue.
This causes you to:
- Stop and restart breathing throughout the night
- Snore loudly or gasp for air
- Wake up feeling unrefreshed or groggy
- Experience daytime sleepiness, brain fog, or headaches
Untreated sleep apnea has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and increased risk of stroke.
Common signs of sleep apnea
You may not know you have it — but your partner or family members might.
Look for these symptoms:
- Loud, frequent snoring
- Morning dry mouth or sore throat
- Trouble staying asleep
- Irritability or mood changes
- Difficulty focusing during the day
- Pauses in breathing (observed by others)
If these sound familiar, it’s time to talk to a healthcare provider — and possibly a dentist trained in sleep apnea treatment.
How can a dentist help with sleep apnea?
Many patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea — or those who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine — benefit from a custom oral appliance.
These devices:
- Fit comfortably in your mouth (like a mouthguard)
- Gently reposition your jaw or tongue to keep your airway open
- Reduce snoring and breathing interruptions
- Are quiet, portable, and easy to wear
At Desert Hills Dental, we work with your sleep physician or primary doctor to coordinate care and provide a dental solution that fits your lifestyle.
Benefits of oral appliance therapy
- Non-invasive and pain-free
- No electricity, noise, or bulky equipment

We take a digital scan of your mouth, create your appliance with precision, and adjust it for maximum effectiveness.

Oral appliance therapy may be right for you if you:
- Have mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Struggle with or can’t tolerate CPAP
- Want a quieter, more convenient solution
