We provide the latest advanced techniques to treat obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

Sleep apnoea can occur at any age and treatments for sleep apnoea will help patients of all ages who are suffering from mild to extreme sleep apnoea.

Sleep apnoea effects your quality of life and should be corrected as it impacts learning, behaviour and cardiovascular health.

To find out if you suffer from sleep apnoea, there are tests available online.

How we find the right treatment for you

It’s important that every patient receives the most effective treatment for OSA, and for this reason we will analyse your symptoms and diagnose your OSA by having you complete a home sleep study.

It may also be necessary to finish outstanding dental treatments or any required dental treatments from Future Dental.

Common symptoms include:

  • Loud snoring
  • Waking up with a dry mouth and throat
  • Choking and gasping
  • Sleepiness
  • Lack of energy
  • Morning headaches
  • Restless sleep
  • Mood changes

Home sleep study/testing:

The HST involves the patient taking home a device which will monitor the sleep of the patient. This device will record data, which will be sent to the home sleep company. A physician will analyse the data and formulate a diagnosis and recommended treatment.

What if these treatments are not the solution?

At Dental Sleep Medicine, we also know there are many reasons why a person may suffer from OSA and some treatments require surgery, usually by removing the tonsils and or adenoids. In this case, we will refer you to an ear-nose-throat (ENT) Surgeon.

There are numerous health professionals involved in the management of this serious health issue and Dr Gibbins has all the contacts to ensure no stone is left un-turned in your pursuit of a long-term solution.
