We’re concerned about the overall health of our patients, including sleep health, as part of our comprehensive approach to San Antonio dental care. Many people suffer needlessly from disruptive sleep disorders that prevent them from getting enough oxygen at night. In these cases, TMJ and sleep apnea oral appliances can offer an effective, non-invasive solution to improve breathing and sleep quality. The risk of a heart attack is 23 times more likely than average with a sleep disorder, and 92% of stroke victims live unknowingly with sleep apnea before having a stroke.
One of our goals is to provide the most conservative treatment possible in every situation. That’s why we offer TMJ & Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances as a simple, non-invasive solution for a variety of dental and jaw-related conditions. As part of our commitment to high-quality San Antonio Dental Care, each oral appliance is custom-crafted specifically for you to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
Whether we’re addressing nighttime teeth grinding, a diagnosed case of obstructive sleep apnea, bite alignment issues, or jaw joint disorders, TMJ & Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances can be a valuable part of your overall treatment plan. Our experienced doctors use a range of innovative appliance designs tailored to your treatment goals, providing effective and personalized care in the heart of San Antonio.

Teeth Grinding
Teeth are the hardest substance in our bodies and can withstand a tremendous amount of force. But damage can occur, especially when grinding forces start to wear them away. Part of our commitment to exceptional San Antonio dental care includes identifying and treating issues like nighttime clenching or grinding. This habit can harm teeth, muscles, and jaw joints over time. In many cases, TMJ and sleep apnea oral appliances provide a simple and effective solution to protect your teeth and relieve strain on the jaw.
