Call us today at 253-999-9419 to get sleep apnea relief.
Did you know that you could experience hundreds of episodes of sleep apnea each night and not even be aware of it? If you’re a sufferer of severe sleep apnea, your sleep could be disrupted as many as 50 times per hour! Here’s how the sleep apnea cycle works for obstructive sleep apnea:
The experts at Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry can help. We can make a custom mouthguard for you to wear while sleeping. It will push your lower jaw forward enough to help keep your airway open. The result is fewer or even no sleep apnea occurrences! Plus, since those soft tissues won’t have air passing by them to cause snoring, your sleep will be quieter. You and your bed partner will both thank us!
Treating sleep apnea will also help you avoid serious health consequences. Many conditions have been linked to sleep apnea, including high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes.
Our treatment can actually help you live longer. Plus, a sleep appliance is much more convenient than using a CPAP machine, which is commonly prescribed for sleep apnea treatment:
If you haven’t yet had a diagnosis of sleep apnea, don’t worry. We can refer you to a qualified physician or sleep specialist to have a sleep study done.
Puyallup sleep apnea doesn’t have to ruin your day – or your life. Call us today to schedule your consultation: 253-999-9419. You can also schedule online for a sleep apnea evaluation or to discuss your symptoms at your regular six-month checkup.
I don’t like going to the dentist but these guys make it better. Everyone is very friendly and I’m in and out of cleanings fast but not rushed. They are taking COVID precautions and make me feel safe about that. I love these guys and will continue to go there as long as my insurance allows.
It’s always a great experience at Hartland Dental. Office staff, hygienists are professional every step of the way. Dr. Dan, is non judgmental congenial, caring and will explain every procedure if necessary. Pleased to be his patient for over 20 years.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Wetterhus have both worked on my teeth. Both the doctors and the staff are amazing. They treat their patients how they want to be treated. Gentle hands and excellent communication. As someone who has had some bad dental experiences in the past with other dentists, it is a huge relief to have found these wonderful caring people. Highly recommended!!
I have been going to Dr Smith for 12.5 years and wouldn’t ever consider anyone else. The staff is amazing and take the time to review your charts. Listen to your concerns and help o find solutions.
Best dental team ever. Everyone has a great attitude. Dr. Smith is amazing. Professional, caring, thorough. Highly recommended; you’re in excellent hands here!
Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Every single interaction from check in and billing, to the dental assistants and hygienists to the dentists. Everyone is an absolute gem and completely concerned about your comfort, completely open about added costs and I’ve never waited even five minutes to be called back from the waiting room. I’ve had a lifetime of cavities and fillings so I’m quite familiar with the perils of the dentist office. They do a fantastic job keeping my smile as good as they can given my sugar addiction and horrible flossing habits. I would not change a thing here
Prior to my visit today, I’ve neglected my dental health, and was in need of an immediate visit. While looking online for a dentist in the area, I stumbled upon this office and tried to make an appointment. To my surprise they were able to fit me in this morning. I’ve had terrible experiences in the past with dentists and have never been able to find one that I actually felt welcome in. Dr. Smith explained things to me in a way that actually made sense, while comforting and reassuring me. While waiting, one of the office ladies even called my insurance to see what we could get covered so I would know ahead of time. Everyone that I interacted with went well above what they *needed* to do, in order to help me as much as possible, and for that I thank them. After today, I now have a dentist office I want to stay with.
Great first visit! Very friendly Dr. and staff. Seemed like a happy group which usually makes for happy patients. Exam was thorough and treatment follow up visits were efficently scheduled. Nice office and clean exam room. Very gentle with my mouth and teeth too!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this group of people! From the girls at the front desk, to the dental assistants, and of course the dentists. Everyone I know, knows how anxious I am about any dental work but this place makes me feel immediately at ease and I honestly look forward to coming back. On a regular basis! Not just when something starts hurting haha!
Best Dentistry Office in Washington The staff is an amazing 👏, they make sure your comfortable, they listen to your concerns, and the atmosphere is enjoyable 😉! You can tell they like their working environment 😀!
Sleep apnea is the periodic blockage of your airway during sleep. This causes you to stop breathing momentarily before waking up just long enough to take a few normal breaths. Your tongue and other soft tissues in the back of your throat can relax to the point where they block the airway, usually without any awareness that this is happening.
One common result of sleep apnea is excessive fatigue during the day. This makes it tough to concentrate or focus on tasks. Studies have linked it to sleepiness while driving, which can obviously be dangerous. In addition, research shows that sleep apnea leads to increased incidence of high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health problems.
We treat sleep apnea with a custom mouthguard that moves your jaw into a position that keeps your airway open throughout the night. This allows you to breathe easily so you can rest. Many patients prefer a mouthguard to a CPAP machine, another commonly prescribed sleep apnea treatment. Unlike a CPAP, you won’t need to adjust to wearing a mask while you sleep. Plus, you can easily take a mouthguard with you anywhere you go.
