Airway dentistry focuses on improving patients’ breathing by addressing oral structures that impact the airway. At Sullivan Dental Center, Dr. Frank Sullivan is dedicated to helping patients achieve better breathing, which can significantly enhance overall health and wellbeing. Breathing issues can stem from various oral factors, and airway dentistry provides a noninvasive approach to support natural breathing, benefiting patients of all ages.
The goal of airway dentistry is to assess and adjust oral and facial structures to improve airflow. Problems like a narrow palate, misaligned jaw or improperly positioned teeth can contribute to restricted airflow, leading to conditions such as sleep apnea, snoring and chronic mouth breathing. Our dentists and team offers customized solutions to support natural, unobstructed breathing patterns and address any related discomfort.
Some common signs that indicate you might benefit from airway dentistry include:
- Frequent snoring or gasping during sleep
- Waking up feeling unrefreshed
- Chronic mouth breathing
- Persistent fatigue or daytime drowsiness
- Morning headaches or dry mouth
- Behavioral issues in children, such as hyperactivity or poor focus
We are skilled at recognizing the subtle signs of airway issues and creating personalized treatment plans to address these concerns. Using advanced technology, we perform a thorough assessment of your oral structures, examining how they may be impacting your airway. Our approach prioritizes comfortable, conservative treatment options that align with your individual needs.
