Sleep Apnea Treatment in Edison, NJ

At Serenity Dental Care, we believe that true dental health extends beyond your smile. It encompasses your airway, jaw joints, bite, muscles and how you rest at night. With research showing that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may contribute to daytime fatigue, cardiovascular stress, mood disturbances, and more, we’re here to help you break that cycle of poor sleep + oral health issues.

Dr. Nandra’s training in the Dawson Approach means you’re not merely treated symptomatically — we evaluate how your bite, jaw position and musculature impact your airway and overall wellness.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway repeatedly becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. The result? Interrupted breathing, bursts of gasping, loud snoring, and poor sleep quality. Over time, these disruptions may cause elevated blood pressure, strained heart health, excessive daytime sleepiness and greater risk for certain medical conditions.

Consider these common signs:

• Loud, persistent snoring (especially when it causes awakenings)

• Waking up gasping or choking for air

• Daytime tiredness despite spending enough hours in bed

• Morning headaches, sore throat, or dry mouth

• Concentration problems, irritability, mood changes

• Observed pauses in breathing during sleep

• Clenching/grinding of teeth (bruxism) and signs of bite or jaw discomfort

• Snoring plus jaw pain / TMD symptoms

If any of the above sounds familiar, it’s worth scheduling a complete evaluation.

Many people associate sleep-apnea treatment strictly with CPAP machines or ear/nose/throat specialists. But as a dental practice that uses the Dawson Approach — which emphasizes how your teeth, bite, jaw joints, and muscles interact — Serenity Dental Care has a unique vantage:

• We examine your bite, jaw joint (TMJ/TMD), tongue posture, and airway alignment.

• We can identify indicators in your oral health (e.g., tooth wear from grinding, narrow arches, bite collapse) that may relate to airway compromise.

• We offer oral appliance therapy (OAT) — custom­crafted devices worn during sleep that reposition the jaw or tongue to promote open airway flow.

• We work collaboratively with your physician, sleep specialist or ENT when appropriate — offering a holistic solution.

• Our commitment to comprehensive dentistry means that your sleep-apnea treatment is integrated with your overall oral health, not siloed.
