The Dangers of Sleep Apnea

Because sleep apnea cuts off the flow of vital oxygen and causes stress on the body, it has been linked to health problems such as:

  • Diabetes.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Heart disease.
  • Liver disease.
  • Headaches.
  • Weight gain.
  • Metabolic syndrome.
  • Adverse reactions to medication.

Plus, sleep deprivation can have serious consequences, such as daytime drowsiness and involuntary sleep—dangerous or fatal when driving or operating heavy machinery. It also causes mood swings and poor mental performance, which can harm personal and work relationships.


Sleep Apnea Treatment in Centreville

Woman sleeping better after sleep apnea treatment in CentrevilleOral appliance therapy at Centreville Dental Wellness Center can help you overcome your sleep disorder. Oral appliance therapy, also called (OAT) involves plastic devices that are worn in the mouth like a retainer. Your sleep apnea mouth guard brings your jaw forward to allow more air into the restricted airway.

Oral appliances help prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat, keeping the airway open and free during sleep, promoting adequate air intake and better sleep.

Dr. Rena Vakay, has extensive training and certification in oral appliance therapy. At the time of your visit, Dr. Vakay can determine which of the appliances are suited for you. Dr. Vakay and her staff will work with your physician on your diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care.

Advantages of Having Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT):

  • Stop snoring!
  • Get better sleep!
  • Ditch your CPAP in favor of a small, comfortable appliance.
  • Enjoy improved health all around.

The first visit will include a review of your sleep study and the prescription from your physician. At that time an evaluation will be done to determine the best oral appliance for you.

Hate Your CPAP Device?

Although CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines help some patients, others can’t stand them. They don’t want to try to sleep with a mask on and a noisy machine next to them.

That’s why we offer CPAP alternatives. We can customize a sleep apnea mouth guard that will open your airway, preventing or reducing snoring without using a loud motor or uncomfortable facemask like the CPAP.

“I can’t tell you how many years I suffered with a CPAP machine for my sleep apnea. My symptoms of sleep apnea never really went away. With oral appliance therapy from Centreville, I’m finally seeing a reduction of my symptoms and sleeping peacefully at night!”

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Dr Vakay and her team has been extraordinary. Very professional, very competent, and very caring. The culture exudes kindness and caring. Dr. Vakay's follow up with her patients is unusual in my experience . She called me in the evening to ask how I was doing. I have never had a doctor do that for me.

Tim S.

A colleague recommended Dr. Abel and my first time there was the best dental experience I have had in 43 years. I had my 2nd appt earlier this week. Another great experience. Everything from reception, cleaning, to leaving was great. The hygienist was so gentle, yet did an extremely thorough job. Excellent dental practice!!

Robin S.

The best dentist in the DMV! I have loved coming here and the office is incredible - you will not be dissatisfied and they take great care of thier patients. I would highly recommend this office.

Kelley M.

I've been coming into this office for years and every time they've been so warm and accommodating. Dr. Vakay and the whole staff really puts in every effort to make sure her patients are taken care of with the most high quality work. She fixed my Maryland Bridge so now my teeth look amazing and my smile gives me so much more confidence! I could not recommend this office enough!

Sydney C.

I have been using this practice for many years. The staff continues to be professional and thorough. The front desk staff is well versed in insurance practices and billing. They help me understand my benefits better than my insurance provider. Holly is a very professional dental hygienist who addressed several teeth and gum health issues by giving very practical tips for me to implement for better personal dental hygiene. Dr. Abel's practice is well run! They use the latest imaging technology that support accurate diagnostics. You will not be dissatisfied.

Charles I.

Professional, personable and all around AWESOME! I've been a fan since day 1 and can't say enough about this team! From the front office to the back, these folks take the edge off of "going to the dentist". Dr. Vacay leads the way with her expertise, gentle hands, and personal touches (she texted me on the evening of what I thought was a pretty minor procedure that day just to see if I was comfortable-WOW! Her assistant Christina really knows her stuff and moves with precision and a gentle touch. From the moment I walk in to the warm greetings of Sogand, Tonia, and Jessica, to the moment I walk out, I hardly remember I was "just at the dentist". Thank you, Centreville Dental Wellness Center! You make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience!!

Anastasia P.

I'm a current patient, doing a search of dentists that treat TMJ, and found Dr Vakay. Words cannot express her concern, a concrete pathway of treatment to make my mouth, my bite, all normal again. She is a wonderful find, has taken care of other issues on my teeth I'm so happy I found her! Thank you Dr Vakay for giving me my bite back!!! Also all staff from front desk to dental hygienist Could not be more satisfied!!
