Sleep Apnea Testing
How to Get Tested
Testing for sleep apnea is more convenient, affordable, and feasible than you may realize.

A sleep study is necessary for a diagnosis if you haven’t been tested for sleep apnea.
If you are concerned about the administrative steps of asking for a test, don’t worry. We have partnered with a great company to provide our patients with an at-home sleep study.

Can I treat sleep apnea at Klooster Family Dentistry if I’ve already been tested for sleep apnea?
If you have a recent sleep apnea test, we can use that test and put together a diagnosis. Our team will individually review your test to ensure it is still viable. As long as it is within the last year or so and your medical profile has not changed significantly, we likely can use this test to get started on treatment.
We recognize the time and investment that goes into completing a sleep study and will only ask you to retake the test if we find it medically necessary. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation and learn more about testing.
What Is an Oral Sleep Appliance?
An oral sleep appliance is a custom-made device that fits like a retainer in the mouth. It works by gently repositioning your lower jaw forward to open up your airway and prevent it from collapsing during sleep. This helps ensure that you get sufficient oxygen during the night and can rest peacefully without interruption.
Oral appliances are easy to wear and comfortable to use. They're small enough to fit inside your pocket or purse when not in use, so they're perfect for travelers who need their device on-the-go! Additionally, they don't make any noise while you sleep, so no one else in your bed will be disturbed by them either.
How Does it Work?
Here at Klooster Family Dentistry we use the top-of-the-line Respire Oral Appliance to help treat the symptoms of sleep apnea in our patients in Holly Springs, Apex, and Raleigh. The Respire Oral Appliance is designed to treat snoring and sleep apnea by gently positioning your lower jaw slightly forward while you sleep. This helps prevent your airway from becoming blocked during the night and keeps you breathing normally so that you can get a good night's rest.
