Sleep Apnoea Treatment Melbourne

What is Sleep Apnoea?

Do you wake up feeling like you’ve barely slept? If mornings leave you groggy, sluggish, and desperate for another coffee, sleep apnoea might be to blame. This common sleep disorder causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, leading to poor rest and long-term health risks if left untreated.

If you’re searching for sleep apnoea treatment in Melbourne, our experienced team at Mitcham Dental Clinic can help.

How is sleep apnoea a dental issue?

Although sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder, it has significant oral health implications. If left untreated, it can lead to:

  • Broken, cracked, or missing teeth
  • Jaw clenching
  • Jaw pain, which could indicate temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)
  • Pain while chewing
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Beyond oral health, sleep apnoea is linked to serious health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, depression, and chronic fatigue. Feeling excessively tired throughout the day can also affect concentration, mood, and your overall wellbeing.

How do you treat Sleep Apnoea?

Struggling with sleep apnoea? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to suffer through sleepless nights.

How we can help you…

As a SomnoMed-accredited practice, we provide tailored sleep apnoea treatment right here in Melbourne, ensuring you get the right care for a better night’s sleep.

A SomnoMed-accredited practice means that our clinic is recognised for providing SomnoMed oral appliances, which are high-quality, custom-fitted devices designed to treat sleep apnoea. These appliances help keep the airway open by gently repositioning the jaw, making them a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.

Did you know…

  • Around 4.2 million Australians suffer from a sleep breathing disorder, but up to 80% remain undiagnosed.
  • Many people are misdiagnosed, leaving them frustrated with treatments that don’t work.

That’s why we take a thorough, personalised approach to finding the right sleep apnoea solutions for you.

How do you treat Sleep Apnoea?

Once you’ve had an assessment, a sleep physician will recommend the best appliance for your condition which we custom make specifically for you.

How does the appliance work?

Each appliance is different, but they are worn at night and generally work by holding the jaw forward which leaves the airway clear so you can breathe easily and enjoy a restful sleep.

  • Mitcham Dental Clinic is honestly the best dental clinic that I've been to. Special shout-out to Sarah who is very thorough and clearly explains the work that needs to be done. I've never had an appointment where I've felt any pain (even with sensitive teeth)! The staff have a good culture and it shows in the customer experience that they provide.

    I very rarely leave reviews, but this is warranted. I’m a very nervous patient when it comes to sitting in a dental chair, however from the moment I walked in to make an appointment and explained my situation I was made to feel relaxed. Dr Jia Leong made the experience actually quite enjoyable. She is very thorough, patient and professional. This is a very modern, fully equipped dental surgery you should not look past. And again, if you are nervous, Dr Leong and Mitcham dental clinic is the clinic for you.

    Staff are fantastic and very accommodating, I didn't feel belittled or guilted at all which I have experienced at other dentists. Everything was easily explained and my concerns were taken into account. The building is clean and comfy and they go above and beyond to provide as comfortable a service as possible. I highly recommend this clinic if you're in the area.
