Executive Sleep & Airway Assessment
Better Sleep. Better Health. Better Quality of Life.
Delivered as part of TwentyOne Dental’s Dental Sleep Medicine Service.
Restless nights, loud snoring and waking unrefreshed are often accepted as normal. They rarely are, and good sleep is fundamental to your health, energy and quality of life.
Our Executive Comprehensive Sleep & Airway Assessment brings together experienced private dental clinicians and specialist sleep and respiratory physiology expertise to help you understand what may be affecting your sleep, and how it can be improved.
Does This Sound Like You?
If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone, and they deserve professional assessment.
- Loud or persistent snoring.
- Poor quality or unrefreshing sleep, and waking tired despite a full night in bed.
- Daytime tiredness, low energy and difficulty concentrating.
- Morning headaches.
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching.
- Suspected sleep apnoea, or a partner noticing pauses in your breathing during sleep.
Poor sleep, and disrupted breathing during sleep in particular, has been associated with reduced energy, concentration and wellbeing. Understanding the cause is the first step towards feeling like yourself again.
How Dentistry Helps
Many people are surprised that dentistry plays an important role in recognising signs associated with sleep-related breathing concerns. The mouth, teeth, jaws and airway reveal valuable clinical information.
During your assessment our clinicians consider tooth wear from grinding, signs of jaw clenching, changes to your bite, airway anatomy and tongue position, soft tissue observations, your overall oral health, and your suitability for a mandibular advancement device where appropriate. Assessing these together is fundamental to safe, personalised, effective care.
