Sleep Better With Expert Treatment

Dr. Elrod brings expertise to your sleep apnea treatment through continuing education and extensive hands-on experience. You'll receive care that blends technical precision with a focus on improving your long-term health and quality of sleep.

Your dentist may also use our Fotona LightWalker® laser to provide NightLase® therapy for your sleep apnea and snoring. This non-invasive treatment gently warms and tightens soft tissues in your airway, reducing obstruction and improving airflow.

You'll find this approach comfortable, with no downtime, and you'll appreciate the improvements in your sleep quality and overall health.

This was the BEST dentist office I had ever been in. It was absolutely wonderful. The people was very pleasant. Very nice. Was very concerned about your comfort and your well-being. They could hold an intelligent conversation with you. Didn't make you feel less than it was. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience for me. I would advise every single person that I know to go to this dentistry. They are very very welcoming. You will not have a problem in going back to these people. The only sad part about it is I can only give five stars. Love these people! I am so glad that I chose them.

I’ve been a patient with dr. Elrod for 20 plus years. Hands down the best dentist in the country! All the work I’ve had done is the best quality and lasts. I still have some CEREC that have lasted over 20 years. This is the only dentist I’ve been to that I’m actually excited to go to.

Above and beyond exceptional service!! The office is stunning and the staff are exceptional. I'm definitely appreciative of the tour and gift! Very friendly and knowledgeable. They took their time and didn't make me feel like just another patient. Most importantly, I felt comfortable and heard. My only regret is not becoming a new patient sooner. Never had an experience like that at a dental office before! Thank you DDS!

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea

What is sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often due to airway obstruction. It can cause poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, and increase the risk of serious health problems if left untreated.
How do oral appliances help treat sleep apnea?
A custom-fitted oral appliance repositions your lower jaw slightly forward to keep your airway open while you sleep. This helps reduce snoring and prevents the breathing interruptions caused by obstructive sleep apnea.
Can sleep apnea treatment improve my health?
Yes. Treating sleep apnea can lead to better sleep quality, more energy during the day, and improved mood. It also helps lower the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke, supporting your overall long-term wellness.
