"My overall quality of sleep and life has drastically improved."

For years I’ve struggled with sleep, both falling to sleep and staying to sleep. Bedtime had become filled with anxiety and dread, knowing full well morning would come too soon along with its accompanying fatigue and headache. I treated my sleepless nights holistically, had two sinus surgeries and finally resorted to prescription sleep medication. Dark under eye circles, day time tiredness and migraine headaches became my daily life.

Sleep apnea….could a middle aged slender woman have it?

I was shocked and elated to receive a diagnosis of moderate sleep apnea after completing a home sleep study. My SomnoMed mouth guard has literally changed my life. I look forward to bedtime and rarely wake with a morning headache. My daily energy has increased and night time anxiety non existent. I fall into REM sleep which has allowed me to dream again and my migraine headaches have significantly decreased. My overall quality of sleep and life has drastically improved. I am happier, more productive and enjoy life, which is priceless.

Thank you Dr. Jeppson for your concern, care and compassion. Thank you for giving me my life back. SomnoMed mouth guard…..WORTH.EVERY.PENNY.

Understanding Sleep Apnea

So, what exactly is sleep dentistry in Provo, and sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing is interrupted during sleep. This interruption can happen numerous times throughout the night, affecting the quality of your rest. The most common type, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax too much, blocking your airway. This might sound terrifying, but don’t worry—treatment options exist, and we’re here to guide you through them.

Why Sleep Apnea Matters

You might wonder—why is this such a big deal? Sleep apnea doesn’t just lead to snoring or occasional sleepless nights. It has been associated with several health risks, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and even diabetes. Not to mention how it affects your mental health, leading to grogginess, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating during the day. Here at Jeppson Dental, we believe achieving holistic health and treating sleep apnea can significantly improve your overall quality of life.

Our Approach to Sleep Apnea at Jeppson Dental

We take a comprehensive approach to treating sleep apnea. Our team will start by conducting a thorough sleep assessment to understand the severity of your condition. This might involve you taking home a simple device that records your breathing and oxygen levels while you sleep. Fear not—it’s a noninvasive process, and we’re with you every step to help interpret the results.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Once we understand your sleep patterns and apnea severity, we’ll discuss the results with you. From there, we can recommend one of several treatment paths tailored specifically to you. One of the more common interventions we offer is oral appliance therapy. These custom-made devices are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth and help keep your airway open while you sleep. Think of them as a superhero cape for your jaw!

Oral Appliance Therapy: How It Works

Oral appliance therapy is quite straightforward yet profoundly effective for many patients. The device repositions your jaw to prevent your throat muscles from blocking air passage. It’s portable, easy to maintain, quieter, and less cumbersome than other treatments like CPAP machines. Plus, we’ll ensure that your oral appliance is customized to fit you perfectly for utmost comfort.

Lifestyle Changes and Support

We can offer advice on lifestyle changes that can help manage sleep apnea. Weight management, sleeping position adjustments, or dietary guidance can impact your symptoms. If at any point you have questions or need further assistance, our friendly team is always available to provide support.

Continuous Monitoring and Follow-ups

We understand that treating sleep apnea isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a journey that requires regular monitoring to ensure your treatment does its job. We schedule follow-up appointments to check your progress and adjust your treatment as necessary. Your comfort and health are our top priorities.

I never leave reviews but Jeppson Dental has earned it! They are by FAR the best dental office I have ever been to. They’re so knowledgeable and kind. I chipped my front two teeth and always feel nervous going to a new dentist because I’m not sure the bonding will look good when I have to get it redone and not only did they make me feel so comfortable and confident but the result was amazing! This is the best my teeth have ever looked and they eased all my other dental concerns. My brother is resistant to numbing shots and he said for the first time in his life his dental work didn’t hurt. 10/10 would recommend. We’re sad to leave Utah because we love Jeppson Dental that much!

I really enjoy the friendliness and relaxed feeling I get with the staff at Jeppson Dental. I do appreciate the professionalism and detailed care I get each time I have a visit. My previous dentist retired a few years back, and I have received the exact same great experience with Jeppson Dental. Excellent dentist that I highly recommend and a staff to match.

Dr. Joe Jeppson is a gifted dentist, but he is also one of the most genuine individuals I know. There is no question that my comfort and good health is Dr. Jeppson’s top priority. His office staff and dental assistants are friendly and very capable. I recommend his dental practice without reservation! If you need a dentist, Dr. Jeppson should be your first choice!

I recently visited Jeppson Dental and was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional customer service and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The dentist took the time to explain every step of the procedure and ensured I was at ease throughout the visit. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their patients is truly commendable. I highly recommend Jeppson Dental to anyone seeking top-notch dental care.

Very good, efficient experience. I requested an appointment on a Friday and they called me the following Monday morning for an open spot they had for that morning. Dr. Jeppson was very open and the nurses were very kind. Definitely planning on returning for check ups down the road.
