Sleep Apnea Treatment in Guelph: Have Restful Nights With Our Custom Oral Appliances
Get a Better Night’s Sleep — and Breathe Easy Again
Do you snore loudly, wake up tired, or feel groggy even after a full night’s rest? You might be experiencing sleep apnea — a common but serious sleep disorder that can impact your energy, focus, and long-term health.
At Scottsdale Dental Centre, we help patients manage sleep apnea through comfortable, dentist-made oral appliances that make it easier to breathe — and sleep — through the night.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea occurs when breathing repeatedly stops and starts while you sleep.
There are a few types, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) — caused by the airway collapsing or becoming blocked during sleep.
When airflow stops, your brain wakes your body up briefly to restart breathing. This can happen dozens or even hundreds of times a night, preventing deep, restorative rest.
Common Signs & Symptoms
Loud, chronic snoring
Gasping or choking during sleep
Morning headaches or dry mouth
Constant fatigue or irritability
Difficulty concentrating during the day
If these sound familiar, it’s worth discussing with your dentist or doctor — especially if your partner notices pauses in your breathing at night.
Why Sleep Apnea Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health complications, including:
High blood pressure and heart disease
Increased risk of stroke
Memory and mood issues
Daytime drowsiness and reduced productivity
The good news: effective treatment is available, and we can help.
How Dr. Ahmad Can Help
Many people are surprised to learn that dentists play a key role in treating sleep apnea.
For mild to moderate cases — or for patients who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine — we can provide a custom-fitted oral appliance that gently repositions your jaw and tongue to keep your airway open while you sleep.
It’s small, quiet, and easy to wear — ideal for patients who find CPAP masks uncomfortable.
We provide custom-fitted oral appliances called Mandibular Advancement Devices like Somnodent and Panthera, to treat sleep apnea. These devices reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, offering an alternative to CPAP therapy.
| Treatment Option | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| CPAP Machine | Delivers continuous air pressure to keep airway open. | Moderate to severe apnea. |
| Oral Appliance Therapy | Custom dental device that improves airflow during sleep. | Mild to moderate apnea or CPAP intolerance. |
We’ll work closely with your physician to ensure your dental treatment complements your medical care and helps you breathe easier.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sleep Apnea Dental Appliances in Guelph
An oral sleep apnea appliance is a custom-made dental device that helps treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by keeping your airway open while you sleep. At our Guelph dental clinic, we offer comfortable and effective oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring.
The appliance repositions your lower jaw slightly forward to prevent the airway from collapsing during sleep. This helps reduce or eliminate snoring and improve airflow. It’s a non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy and is available at our Guelph location.
Oral appliances are ideal for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or for those who can’t tolerate CPAP machines. Our Guelph dentists will work with your sleep physician to determine if oral appliance therapy is right for you.
Yes. The appliances we provide at our Guelph dental office are custom-fitted for your mouth, making them much more comfortable than over-the-counter devices. Most patients adapt within a few nights.
Yes. A dentist trained in dental sleep medicine, like those at our Guelph clinic, can fit you with a sleep apnea oral appliance. However, a diagnosis from a sleep specialist or physician is required before starting treatment.
Oral appliances are smaller, quieter, portable, and easier to maintain than CPAP machines. Many of our Guelph patients find them more convenient, especially for travel and long-term use.
Costs vary depending on the type of appliance. Our Guelph dental office offers insurance coordination and financing options. Contact us for a personalized quote and to check your coverage.
Many insurance plans—including some through OHIP when prescribed by a physician—may cover a portion of the cost. We’ll help you verify your benefits and handle the paperwork at our Guelph clinic.
Once your sleep apnea diagnosis is confirmed and impressions are taken, it usually takes 2–3 weeks for your custom appliance to be ready. Fitting and adjustments are done right here in our Guelph dental office.
