Inspire® Implants for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment in Mesquite

We offer expert surgical options for people suffering from severe, fragmented sleep, particularly when continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy hasn’t worked.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes physically blocked while you sleep, causing you to stop breathing momentarily. These pauses in breathing fragment your rest and often lead to loud snoring or sudden awakenings. At Dallas-Fort Worth Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (DFWOMS) in Mesquite, we offer a range of proven options to help you achieve deep, restorative sleep again.

Without proper management, this sleep disorder can contribute to severe health issues like cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and chronic daytime exhaustion that diminishes your quality of life. Although CPAP is a frequent recommendation, our specialists in Mesquite provide surgical alternatives for those searching for a more permanent or comfortable solution.

Why Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea Matters

Taking action to alleviate your sleep apnea is essential for reclaiming your daily energy and safeguarding your future health. An effective solution can transform your life by eliminating daytime sleepiness, improving cognitive function, and reducing your risk for related health problems. Our goal is to help you enjoy restful sleep and better health.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatments in Mesquite

Our specialists conduct a thorough evaluation to create a personalized treatment plan. We provide multiple obstructive sleep apnea treatment options, such as:

Oral Appliance Therapy: These custom-fabricated mouthpieces work by holding the lower jaw or tongue in a forward position. This adjustment is enough to prevent airway collapse, making it a convenient, nonsurgical option.
Corrective Jaw Surgery: For patients whose facial anatomy is the primary cause of obstruction, orthognathic surgery offers a definitive fix. This procedure expands the airway by repositioning the jawbone, correcting the underlying structural problem.
Soft Tissue Procedures: When excess tissue in the back of the throat is the issue, our surgeons can perform targeted procedures to reduce or tighten it. This creates a clearer and more open path for airflow.

The Inspire® Implant: A CPAP Alternative in Mesquite

For individuals with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who find CPAP challenging, the Inspire® implant offered in our Mesquite practice is a revolutionary alternative. This treatment uses a compact, implantable device that synchronizes with your natural breathing rhythm. As you inhale, it sends a mild pulse to the nerve controlling your tongue, preventing it from blocking your airway. You control the device with a simple remote, turning it on at night to sleep soundly without cumbersome equipment.
