If you're waking up tired, struggling with brain fog during the day, or getting nudged by a partner to "roll over and stop snoring," it may be more than just disrupted sleep—it could be obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

At Hendricks Family Dentistry in Brunswick, we help patients across Medina County find quiet, comfortable alternatives to CPAP machines through custom oral appliance therapy.

Snoring Isn’t Just a Nuisance—It’s a Health Warning

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes partially or fully blocked during sleep, causing breathing to repeatedly stop and start. Many patients don’t realize they have it—but the effects can be serious:

• Loud, chronic snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Morning headaches or dry mouth
• Daytime fatigue and irritability
• Increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure

Over time, untreated OSA can place significant stress on the heart, reduce oxygen flow to the brain, and impact your overall quality of life.

Tired of CPAP? There’s a Quieter, Easier Option

While CPAP machines are a common treatment for sleep apnea, many patients find them bulky, loud, and hard to tolerate—especially when traveling.

That’s where a custom-fit dental sleep appliance comes in. These devices gently reposition the lower jaw during sleep to keep the airway open. No hoses, no masks, no noise—just better breathing.

Patients with mild to moderate OSA, or those who can’t tolerate CPAP, often find oral appliances to be a life-changing solution. Learn more about the process and benefits on our page for sleep appliances.

How We Personalize Your Treatment with 3D Imaging

Not all airways—and not all sleep appliances—are created equal. That’s why we use advanced diagnostic tools like 3D cone beam CT scanning to assess each patient’s airway, jaw position, and sinus anatomy in detail.

This technology allows Dr. Hendricks and our team to customize the fit and function of your appliance with extreme precision, improving both comfort and effectiveness. You can explore our Cone Beam CT Scanning and 3D CT imaging services to see how they enhance care across all treatments.

When you sleep better, everything improves—your focus, your mood, even your ability to enjoy the things you love most. That’s why residents from Medina, Brunswick, and surrounding areas trust us to help them reclaim restful nights and energetic mornings.

Whether you're walking trails at Brunswick Lake, playing sports, or chasing little ones around the park, restorative sleep supports your active lifestyle.
