Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment in Raleigh, NC
If you’re snoring loudly, waking up tired, or hearing “you stop breathing in your sleep,” it’s not just annoying — it can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). At O2 Dental Group in Raleigh, we help patients explore custom oral appliance therapy — a comfortable, non-surgical option that can reduce snoring and support sleep apnea treatment.
Common Signs
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Daytime fatigue, brain fog, irritability
- Frequent nighttime bathroom trips
- Restless sleep or insomnia
- High blood pressure or cardiovascular concerns
- A partner noticing pauses in breathing
How We Help
Dentists don’t replace your physician or sleep specialist — but we can be a key part of treatment. We screen, coordinate with your physician/sleep study provider, provide a custom oral appliance, and monitor comfort and results over time.
Oral Appliance Therapy
An oral appliance (sometimes called a “sleep apnea mouthpiece” or “snoring device”) is custom-made to gently reposition the lower jaw and support the airway while you sleep. Many patients like it because it’s small, travel-friendly, quiet, and often more comfortable than CPAP for mild to moderate OSA.
Who It’s For
- Mild to moderate OSA
- Snoring but not evaluated yet
- Diagnosed OSA with CPAP intolerance
- Prefer a non-surgical approach
- Travel frequently and want a simpler option
What to Expect
- Consultation + screening: Review symptoms, health history, and what you’ve tried.
- Diagnosis path: If needed, we help coordinate next steps (often a sleep study through your physician/provider).
- Custom appliance design: We take records and design a device built for your bite and comfort.
- Fitting + adjustments: We fine-tune the fit so it works and feels right.
- Ongoing follow-up: Sleep changes over time — we monitor results and comfort.

- Custom devices (not one-size-fits-all)
- Comfort-focused fitting and follow-up

- Convenient care for Raleigh and surrounding communities

Sleep Apnea / Snoring in Raleigh – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?
Often yes — especially for suspected sleep apnea. If you’re only snoring, we can still evaluate and guide next steps.
Can an oral appliance replace my CPAP?
For some patients, yes. For others, CPAP remains best. We’ll coordinate with your medical provider to make the right call.
Does insurance cover dental sleep appliances?
Many plans offer coverage through medical benefits, depending on diagnosis and documentation. We’ll help you understand options.
Will it stop snoring completely?
Many patients see major improvement, but results vary based on airway anatomy and severity.
Is it uncomfortable?
Most patients adjust quickly. We design for comfort and provide fine-tuning.
How long does it take to get the appliance?
After records and approvals (if needed), typically a few weeks.
What if I have TMJ issues?
We’ll evaluate your jaw health and choose an approach that’s appropriate and safe.
What happens if I gain or lose weight?
Sleep apnea can change. We monitor and adjust treatment as needed.
