Dedicated Sleep Apnea Care
Exhausted from waking up tired?
At our sleep apnea clinic, our experienced sleep specialists understand how exhausting it can feel to wake up tired. We specialize in treating snoring and breathing issues to help you rest better.
According to the American Medical Association, sleep disordered breathing affects about 30 million Americans, yet only about 6 million are diagnosed — leaving nearly 80% unaware they have sleep apnea.
Whether you have obstructive or central sleep apnea, the right treatment can help you breathe more comfortably, sleep more soundly, and alleviate symptoms such as daytime fatigue, snoring, and headaches.
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea
Your body has been trying to tell you something.
If you struggle with headaches, jaw-related pain, trouble sleeping, or constant fatigue, you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea — a common but potentially serious condition characterized by shallow breaths or long pauses in breathing during sleep that cause disruptions in your sleeping pattern and deprive your body of oxygen.
Common Signs of Sleep Apnea
- Non-restorative sleep — waking up tired regardless of how many hours you slept
- Insomnia or frequent nighttime waking
- Inability to concentrate or memory problems during the day
- Anxiety, irritability, or depression
- Unexplained morning headaches
- Difficulty performing work or school duties due to fatigue
- Disrupting the sleep of a bed partner with snoring or gasping
Risks of Untreated Sleep Apnea
- High blood pressure & cardiovascular disease
- Increased risk of stroke & heart attack
- Type 2 diabetes & metabolic syndrome
- Chronic fatigue & daytime impairment
- Depression, anxiety & mood disorders
- Increased risk of accidents from drowsy driving

Precision dental sleep medicine. Care that focuses on the root cause.
Winterholler Sleep and TMJ works closely with diagnosing sleep physicians to provide personalized treatment options. Our custom oral sleep apnea devices hold your lower jaw in an optimized position, allowing for a greater airway and better sleep.
"Sleep and jaw function are closely connected. We evaluate how jaw position, muscle balance, and breathing patterns work together."

Common Questions
FAQ About Sleep Apnea Care and Treatment
Our goal is to make sleep medicine feel understandable and practical. Here are a few of the most common questions we hear.
Can you diagnose sleep apnea without an in-lab sleep study?
Yes — home sleep testing gathers meaningful diagnostic data in the comfort of your own bed, without an overnight lab visit.
What if I cannot tolerate CPAP?
Custom oral appliances are an effective, FDA-recognized alternative that repositions the jaw to keep the airway open — no mask, no machine, no noise.
Will my medical insurance help cover care?
In many cases yes — including Medicare. We will discuss your coverage options during your consultation and help navigate the process.
