If you or someone you care about is struggling with loud snoring, poor sleep, or feeling constantly tired during the day, it may be more than just a bad night's rest—it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). At Lakeside Dental Spa, we offer custom-fitted SomnoMed oral appliances as a clinically proven, non-invasive solution to manage mild to moderate sleep apnoea and snoring.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnoea?
OSA is a common sleep disorder that occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax during sleep, causing the airway to become blocked. This can lead to repeated interruptions in breathing—sometimes hundreds of times a night—often without the person even realising it. Over time, this disruption can affect not only your sleep quality but also your overall health, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime fatigue.
What Is a SomnoMed Device?
A SomnoMed oral appliance is a small, custom-made device worn during sleep, similar to a mouthguard. It works by gently holding the lower jaw in a slightly forward position, helping to keep the airway open throughout the night. These devices are a popular alternative to CPAP therapy for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnoea or those who can’t tolerate a CPAP machine.
At Lakeside Dental Spa, we partner with SomnoMed, a global leader in oral appliance therapy, because their devices are backed by clinical research, medical-grade materials, and exceptional comfort.
Why Choose SomnoMed?
- Clinically Proven – SomnoMed appliances are supported by over 15 years of research and are recognised by sleep physicians worldwide.
- Custom Fit for Comfort – Every device is uniquely fitted using our iTero digital scanner, ensuring precise fit and maximum comfort—no bulky or one-size-fits-all devices here.
- Silent & Portable – Unlike CPAP machines, SomnoMed devices are completely silent, compact, and easy to travel with.
- Non-Invasive – There are no masks, tubes, or noise. Just a simple, comfortable appliance you wear while you sleep.
What to Expect at Lakeside Dental Spa
Your journey starts with a comprehensive sleep assessment. If you're a suitable candidate, we’ll take a digital scan of your teeth using our iTero scanner to design your custom SomnoMed device. Once it’s ready, we’ll fit it comfortably, provide you with usage and care instructions, and monitor your progress in collaboration with your sleep physician, if needed.
