Don't have another restless night
Millions of Americans suffer from undiagnosed or untreated sleep disorders. Breathe easier; we're only a phone call away! If you suffer from sleep apnea, we offer the treatment you need to get back to restful, peaceful sleep. At our San Diego Dental Office, we offer a wide range of sleep medicine treatment options, from sleep appliances to combination therapy. We work in conjunction with a team of sleep physicians to ensure that you receive the best possible care. Because of the role in which oral health affects sleep, dentists have been encouraged to be at the forefront of addressing these medical needs for patients.
Do you struggle to feel refreshed even after a full night's sleep? You're not alone! If you feel tired and groggy daily, it may be time to consult a specialist to see if a sleep disorder is to blame. That's where Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) comes in. Our expert at San Diego Dental Office is trained in sleep therapy and dedicated to helping you get the restful, rejuvenating sleep you deserve.
How Dental Sleep Medicine Can Help
Dental sleep medicine is where dentistry and medicine overlap. Studies estimate that up to 40% of Americans suffer from sleep disorders, and one of the most common of these disorders is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA restricts your ability to breathe during periods of sleep and can significantly raise your risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Dental sleep medicine can address OSA, and help you breathe better. We work closely with a team of local specialists and sleep physicians, to ensure that you receive the best care possible. Breathe easier!
How Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) Can Help Treat Your Sleep Apnea
If Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) suspects that you may have sleep apnea, our San Diego Dental Office team will coordinate a home sleep test that will later be analyzed by a sleep doctor. If the sleep doctor determines that you have sleep apnea, they will provide us with a list of recommended treatments.
Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) applies the Vivos method for Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (CARE), a multidisciplinary approach to treating dentofacial abnormalities, including mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. It is the first nonsurgical, noninvasive, FDA-approved and cost-effective treatment alternative to a CPAP machine.
For some, a mandibular advancement device, similar to a nighttime mouthguard, can help alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea. If the doctor thinks this treatment is right for you, Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) will craft one to meet your unique needs.
We Bill Through Medical Insurance!
Most dental offices in San Diego do not bill through patients' medical insurance for sleep apnea treatment, but we do! This means that you can receive a thorough screening from the dentist you know and trust, without needing to seek out an outside specialist. If you have questions about the medical insurance billing process, please call today to speak with our patient coordinator.

Treatment Options
Oral Appliances: These devices, which are similar in appearance to sports mouthguards, are optimal for those with mild-to-moderate OSA. They adjust your jaw to prevent blockages in your airway, ensuring a continuous sleep. Additionally, they offer protection against bruxism (teeth grinding).
CPAP Machines: While CPAP remains the primary choice for severe OSA, some individuals might find it less than comfortable. If you're facing difficulties with CPAP, let’s explore other possibilities!
POD (Preventive Oral Device): Struggling with teeth grinding? Our tailored POD™ provides relief from TMJ discomfort, muscle strain, and even safeguards your dental restorations. Allow Dr. Taís Trevelin (Lowry) to assist you towards peaceful slumbers.
Homeoblock™ Appliance: Elevate your jaw alignment, posture, and respiration with this state-of-the-art device. As highlighted by James Nestor in "Breath", efficient breathing is paramount for holistic health.
Sleep Tests: Prior to initiating treatment, we advocate for our convenient at-home sleep assessments. If an in-clinic evaluation is more apt, we'll connect you with esteemed specialists.
