Sleep Apnea Care Nonsurgical Options in Portland Schedule a Consultation

Sleep Apnea and Sleep Dentistry in Portland, OR

At Aesthetic Smiles, we provide sleep-focused dental care in Portland, OR, for patients who snore, wake up tired, clench or grind their teeth, experience morning headaches, or show signs of sleep-disordered breathing. Sleep and oral health are closely connected, and problems with breathing during sleep can affect energy, focus, jaw comfort, tooth wear, TMJ symptoms, and overall wellness.

Our dental team screens for signs of airway and sleep-related concerns during comprehensive dental evaluations. When appropriate, we coordinate sleep study testing and collaborate with medical providers to help patients better understand their sleep health and treatment options.

Aesthetic Smiles offers a comprehensive approach that may include sleep apnea screening, sleep study coordination, laser snoring treatment, Vivos therapy, expansion orthodontics, clear aligners, TMJ evaluation, and airway-focused dental treatment planning.

Sleep-related breathing problems may be connected to clenching, grinding, morning headaches, jaw soreness, and TMJ symptoms. Some patients grind their teeth during sleep as the body responds to airway stress or disrupted breathing patterns.

If you have worn teeth, jaw pain, facial tension, morning headaches, snoring, or signs of grinding, a combined TMJ and sleep evaluation may help identify contributing factors.
