Sleep Apnea Treatment in Henderson, NV
A Quiet, Comfortable Alternative to CPAP
If you snore loudly, wake up gasping, or feel wrecked after a full night in bed, obstructive sleep apnea may be the reason. Many people diagnosed with it cannot tolerate a CPAP machine and quietly stop using it. Densley Dental offers custom oral appliance therapy: a small, mouthguard-like device that holds your airway open while you sleep. Dr. Aman Sidhu fits each appliance in-house and coordinates with your physician so treatment matches your diagnosis.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the muscles of the throat relax during sleep and the airway collapses, cutting off airflow for seconds at a time, dozens or hundreds of times a night. Each pause drops your oxygen and jolts your body partly awake. You may not remember any of it, but you wake up unrefreshed, and over time the strain shows up as high blood pressure, heart problems, weight gain, and trouble concentrating.
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea
- Loud, chronic snoring, especially with pauses or gasps a partner notices
- Waking up tired no matter how long you slept
- Morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat
- Falling asleep during the day, in meetings, or at red lights
- Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom
- Irritability, brain fog, or low mood
- Teeth grinding and worn, flattened teeth, which we often spot at a routine exam
How Oral Appliance Therapy Works
A mandibular advancement device is a custom-fitted appliance that positions your lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. That small shift keeps the tongue and soft tissue from collapsing into the airway. It is quiet, needs no electricity, travels in a small case, and is easy to clean. For patients with mild to moderate apnea, and for many who have given up on CPAP, it delivers the same goal: uninterrupted breathing all night.
Your Treatment at Densley Dental
1. Diagnosis
Treatment starts with a sleep study from a physician. If you already have one, bring the results. If not, we will refer you.
2. Consultation and scan
Dr. Sidhu examines your airway, jaw joint, and teeth, then takes a digital iTero scan to design an appliance that fits precisely.
3. Fitting and adjustment
Your appliance is fitted and calibrated in stages over a few weeks until snoring and symptoms improve. We coordinate follow-up testing with your physician to confirm it is working.
4. Ongoing care
We check the fit and your bite at regular visits and make adjustments as needed so the appliance keeps working for years.
