Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. These interruptions prevent your body from getting the deep, restorative rest it needs, affecting your health, energy, mood, and even your heart.
Most people don’t realize that dentists specially trained in sleep therapy play a crucial role in evaluating and treating sleep apnea.
At our Camarillo location, we work closely with patients experiencing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and offer custom oral appliances, airway-focused evaluations, and advanced treatment options.

There are three main types of sleep apnea:

For mild cases, small changes can really help, you can try to:
Our Camarillo dentists will give you tailored recommendations based on your symptoms and lifestyle.
This is one of the most comfortable and popular therapies we offer at our Camarillo office. These custom-made devices help keep your airway open naturally while you sleep. Options include:
1. Mandibular advancement devices
They fit over your teeth and gently reposition your jaw forward, preventing the airway from collapsing.
2. Tongue-retaining devices
These hold the tongue forward so it doesn’t fall back and obstruct the airway.
Patients love them because they’re small, easy to travel with, and highly effective for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
1. CPAP – Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
This is one of the most common treatments for moderate to severe OSA.
While it can take some time to adapt, many of our Camarillo patients experience noticeable improvement once they’re fitted with the right mask and pressure settings.
2. ASV – Adaptive Servo-Ventilation
An advanced therapy used primarily for central sleep apnea.
It monitors your breathing and adjusts the airflow automatically to prevent interruptions.
When sleep apnea is severe or other treatments haven’t been effective, surgery may be recommended.
At Channel Islands Family Dental Office in Camarillo, we’ll guide you through the evaluation process and help you understand which option is best for your situation.
Common surgical approaches include:
1. Tonsil and adenoid removal (Adenotonsillectomy)
Enlarged tonsils or adenoids can block the airway during sleep. Removing them can significantly improve airflow, reduce snoring, and help you breathe more easily at night.
2. Soft-tissue reduction surgery
Sometimes, excess tissue in the mouth or throat, like the soft palate, can narrow the airway. This procedure carefully removes or reduces tissue to create more space, allowing air to flow freely while you sleep.
3. Maxillomandibular advancement (jaw surgery)
For more complex cases, this surgery repositions the upper and lower jaw forward. By moving the jaws, the airway is enlarged, making breathing easier during sleep. It’s often used when other treatments haven’t fully resolved apnea.
4. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation implant
This FDA-approved device is implanted in the upper chest and connects to the hypoglossal nerve.
