Tailored Sleep Services Available to Patients at Our Chelmsford, MA, Dental Practice

If you struggle with poor sleep quality or don’t get the right amount of sleep each night, you’re far from alone. Over 40 million Americans suffer from some form of chronic disorder that disrupts their sleep patterns, and the vast majority of them—a whopping 80%—go undiagnosed. While sleep disorders are a major problem across the country, Smiles by Stylos is working hard to make high-quality treatment more accessible to residents of our community. Our dedicated sleep specialists understand the importance of getting good sleep, and we can help you improve your quality of life by providing personalized services at our dental practice in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.  

Understanding Sleep Disorders

Having a healthy, open, and fully functional airway is essential for breathing properly, which is especially important at night. A closed or disrupted airway can lead to poor quality sleep and other health conditions. If you have noticed any of the following symptoms, you may be one of the millions of Americans affected by a sleep disorder:

• Snoring
• Gasping for breath in the middle of the night
• Always feeling tired, even when you get plenty of sleep
• Waking in the morning with a headache
• Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or jaw pain
• Lack of energy
• Difficulty concentrating
• Short-term memory loss
• Gaining weight for no apparent reason
• Increased blood pressure
• Acid reflux
• Sinus issues
• Multiple awakenings during the night

There are a number of different sleep disorders, including:

• Sleep apnea – A potentially serious disorder that causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start throughout the night.  
• Insomnia – Consistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.  
• Snoring – While snoring may be a symptom of another, more serious disorder, it is considered a sleep disorder on its own.  
• Bruxism – The unconscious grinding of teeth while sleeping, which can lead to problems like TMJ dysfunction.  

While everyone experiences occasional sleeplessness, chronic symptoms and a consistent pattern of poor quality—or little to no—sleep can be a sign that professional treatment is needed.  

The Importance of Seeking Sleep Services

If it is determined that you have a sleep disorder like one of the ones above, you don’t need to continue suffering or allowing your condition to worsen. Reliable treatments are available, and Smiles by Stylos is proud to offer many at our Chelmsford dental practice. We understand the importance of oral health when it comes to your overall well-being, and sleep is a major part of that. That’s why we provide a variety of specialized sleep services that are tailored to suit the unique needs of each patient, including those with sleep apnea, snoring, and TMJ disorders caused by bruxism. We even have a dedicated Sleep Solutions Ambassador on staff to help guide you through your options for treatment and make you feel confident in the care you receive.  

As a Vivos Therapeutics provider, we can custom-create a non-invasive oral appliance that helps alleviate sleep apnea symptoms or snoring by gently repositioning the jaw and opening the airway. We also offer a variety of solutions for TMJ disorders and bruxism, ranging from Botox and dermal fillers to oral devices that prevent teeth grinding during the night.
