Sleep Apnoea Treatment Melbourne

What is Sleep Apnoea?

Do you wake up feeling like you’ve barely slept? If mornings leave you groggy, sluggish, and desperate for another coffee, sleep apnoea might be to blame. This common sleep disorder causes repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, leading to poor rest and long-term health risks if left untreated.

If you’re searching for sleep apnoea treatment in Melbourne, our experienced team at Mitcham Dental Clinic can help.

How is sleep apnoea a dental issue?

Although sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder, it has significant oral health implications. If left untreated, it can lead to:

  • Broken, cracked, or missing teeth
  • Jaw clenching
  • Jaw pain, which could indicate temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)
  • Pain while chewing
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Beyond oral health, sleep apnoea is linked to serious health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, depression, and chronic fatigue. Feeling excessively tired throughout the day can also affect concentration, mood, and your overall wellbeing.

How do you treat Sleep Apnoea?

Struggling with sleep apnoea? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to suffer through sleepless nights.

How we can help you…

As a SomnoMed-accredited practice, we provide tailored sleep apnoea treatment right here in Melbourne, ensuring you get the right care for a better night’s sleep.

A SomnoMed-accredited practice means that our clinic is recognised for providing SomnoMed oral appliances, which are high-quality, custom-fitted devices designed to treat sleep apnoea. These appliances help keep the airway open by gently repositioning the jaw, making them a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP machines for many patients.

Did you know…

  • Around 4.2 million Australians suffer from a sleep breathing disorder, but up to 80% remain undiagnosed.
  • Many people are misdiagnosed, leaving them frustrated with treatments that don’t work.

That’s why we take a thorough, personalised approach to finding the right sleep apnoea solutions for you.

How do you treat Sleep Apnoea?

Once you’ve had an assessment, a sleep physician will recommend the best appliance for your condition which we custom make specifically for you.

How does the appliance work?

Each appliance is different, but they are worn at night and generally work by holding the jaw forward which leaves the airway clear so you can breathe easily and enjoy a restful sleep.

What Our Patients Say About Our Sleep Apnoea Services

  • I fell down and chipped my front tooth so I was desperately looking for a dental clinic that's still open. although it was very last minute, the clinic remained opened to see me which was such a nice gesture. Dr Trinh was very compassionate and friendly and immediately filled the tooth which now looks amazing. can't even tell the difference now! i usually am scared to go see a dentist but i felt very comfortable this time! thank you again!

    Brilliant , had a broken tooth, extremely sore at 0700am on a Friday, not a shock that there was no answer. I took that what I thought was a long shot by contacting them on Facebook messenger. To my shock I got a message back within minutes and then got a call from Bianca booking me in at 0930am the same day. Brilliant.

  • Mitcham Dental would have to be one of the BEST dental clinics in the east. They are always so accomodating, friendly and very experienced in all aspects of dentistry. I am quite a nervous patient when it comes to my teeth. They are also very patient and make the customer feel comfortable at all times. So many options are given to a patient and always explained prior to treatment. I must give Sarah a thumb up always for taking care of my teeth and making me feel comfortable, and not nervous whilst performing my dental treatment. The outcome is always positive and I always keep coming back. Congratulations to the whole team at Mitcham Dental. Keep up the grest work!

    I’ve been going to Mitcham dental clinic my whole life and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. Ron and his team are incredibly kind and truly excellent at what they do. They’re generous with their time and will always have your best interests at heart. If you’re looking for a dentist you can feel confident going to then trust me, go here. I really can’t recommend them enough.

    I needed a dentist desperately in a hurry a few weeks ago. The staff at the Mitcham Dental Clinic kindly looked after me and took care of me. I recommend with confidence the service and all the staff at this clinic and found them to be 100% for personalised satisfaction

  • Have to update my post - seriously, Dr Ron and the team are just absolutely amazing. This is coming from someone that's just walked out of a root canal - with zero discomfort, zero pain. Seeing Dr Ron has taught me one thing - going to the dentist doesn't have to be a painful and terrifying experience - it's all about patient comfort (and obviously tooth care). Just brilliant! Original post: Amazing all around service. Dr Ron and his staff are wonder workers - they're all about putting patients at ease - talking through procedures, getting the time to know you as a patient (I'm one of those people that don't really love visiting the dentist) - but they all are there to help you through the process - it's actually awesome - turning my experiences there into a pain and stress free procedure. Also, while I was waiting (and they did it for me too), I saw the reception staff with the patients leaving - they actually sat down and worked out the best possible way to pay - i.e. how to minimise the customers cost. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!
