If you’re waking up tired, snoring loudly, or feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get, you may be experiencing obstructive sleep apnea. At Zapzzz Sleep Clinic in Riverside, we help patients get the deep, healthy sleep their bodies need through clear, pressure-free care focused exclusively on dental sleep solutions.
We offer free consultations, home sleep testing, and personalized treatment plans designed around comfort, accuracy, and long-term success.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which the airway becomes repeatedly blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing throughout the night. These interruptions reduce oxygen levels and disrupt normal sleep cycles, often without the patient being aware.
Over time, untreated sleep apnea can impact energy levels, mood, focus, and overall health.
Many people live with sleep apnea for years without knowing it. Common symptoms may include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, morning headaches, jaw or facial tension, daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat.
If these symptoms sound familiar, a professional sleep evaluation can provide clarity and direction.
Sleep apnea is more than disrupted sleep. When left untreated, it may increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic fatigue, and accidents related to daytime drowsiness.
The good news is that obstructive sleep apnea is highly manageable. With proper diagnosis and treatment, many patients experience meaningful improvements in sleep quality, energy, and daily functioning.
At Zapzzz, we provide treatment for obstructive sleep apnea through dentistry only. Your care begins with a free consultation, where we take time to understand your symptoms and sleep concerns.
Diagnosis is completed using Home Sleep Testing (HST) with the WatchPAT® device, a clinically recognized sleep testing technology widely used across the United States and manufactured by ZOLL Itamar. This at-home test connects through a mobile application and allows for accurate overnight monitoring without disrupting natural sleep.
Based on your results, we design a personalized treatment plan using Oral Appliance Therapy, including Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD/AMD). These custom dental appliances help maintain airway patency during sleep and are best suited for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, as well as those who are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy.
For patients experiencing jaw tension, teeth grinding, or joint-related concerns, supportive therapies such as Botox may be incorporated as part of a comprehensive dental sleep approach.
Zapzzz is a family-friendly sleep clinic serving Riverside and surrounding communities. We welcome adults and adolescents seeking answers for sleep-related breathing concerns and provide care in a calm, supportive environment.
Our team prioritizes education, transparency, and patient comfort at every step of the process.
Your initial visit includes a detailed discussion of your sleep symptoms and medical history. If appropriate, a Home Sleep Test using WatchPAT® will be recommended and clearly explained.
Once results are reviewed, we focus on treatment options that are effective, comfortable, and easy to integrate into daily life.
