What Is Sleep Apnea Treatment?
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, interrupting your breathing, disrupting your rest, and contributing to snoring and daytime fatigue. Because it's a medical condition, sleep apnea is diagnosed by a physician, usually through a sleep study. For many people with mild to moderate sleep apnea, or those who can't tolerate a CPAP machine, oral appliance therapy is an effective, comfortable alternative. At Lava Dental, we create custom-fit oral appliances that gently hold your jaw forward to keep your airway open while you sleep.
The Benefits of Sleep Apnea Treatment
Better Sleep
Keeping your airway open through the night helps you sleep more deeply and wake up genuinely rested.
Less Snoring
An oral appliance often dramatically reduces or eliminates snoring, improving rest for you and your partner.
CPAP Alternative
For many patients, a comfortable oral appliance offers an easy alternative to a bulky CPAP mask and hose.
Better Health
Treating sleep apnea can lower the long-term health risks linked to untreated, interrupted breathing during sleep.

When Do You Need Sleep Apnea Treatment in Houston, TX?
Notice any of these? Schedule a visit. Early care is easier care.
Loud Snoring
Frequent, loud snoring is one of the most common signs of obstructive sleep apnea worth evaluating.
Daytime Fatigue
Feeling exhausted during the day despite a full night in bed can point to interrupted, poor-quality sleep.
Breathing Pauses
Gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing during sleep, often noticed by a partner, are key warning signs.
Morning Headaches
Waking with headaches, a dry mouth, or a sore throat can be linked to sleep apnea and disrupted breathing.

Dr. Milad Balaei is truly one of the best dentists I've ever experienced. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. He is incredibly professional, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done perfectly and pain-free. He takes the time to explain every step, which builds so much trust and confidence. The results are always amazing, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients. If you're looking for a skilled, honest, and caring dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Balaei
It was my first time there today The staff was very helpful explained everything. Helped me figure out financing for the work I need to get done. Office very nice clean and comfortable.
The best dental care that I've ever received! I had a tooth that was causing me a lot of pain and they worked me in their schedule and saved me. Dr Rashied, Vanessa and Rayan went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and informed of my options. Rayan took the time to explain the procedure and help me find the best solution and a dental plan going forward. They were all very friendly, professional and I will definitely be going to them exclusively for now on.

Great practice with friendly doctors and staff! I came here after not seeing a dentist for way too long. I was nervous about what work might be needed and what they would say about how long I had waited to see a dentist. I was immediately put at ease by everyone I encountered here. The dentist took the time to explain what I needed and why I needed it. The tech was calming and reassuring. The office manager went over the cost and what my insurance would cover. The office itself is clean, comfortable and an overall nice space. I would highly recommend Nova Dental.
I had an amazing experience at Lava Dental! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. I brought all of my children, and two of my children have special needs, so it means a lot to me when a dental office takes the time to understand their individual needs and makes them feel comfortable. Lava Dental did exactly that! They were patient, gentle, caring, and very detailed with each of my children. They treated every child with kindness and made sure they understood what was happening. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and compassion the entire team showed my family. They made what can sometimes be a stressful experience feel comfortable and positive. Thank you, Lava Dental, for taking such great care of my children and making us feel welcomed and valued. We truly appreciate you! ❤️🦷
I had a terrible tooth pain that was unbearable. I called many places and found Lava Dental on my browser. It was late in the day and they fit me in for a same day appointment. The staff were super friendly and listened to my concerns. I was seen immediately and explained in detail on what I had and the solutions. Dr. Ebrahimi was super gentle and fast. She's a true master of her profession. I was in and out quickly. I had a wisdom tooth removed; it was quick and, most importantly, painless. I want to thank Sylvia, Orlando, and Dr. Ebrahimi for their prompt assistance and warm hospitality. They were able to quickly provide a painless resolution to my problem. I would highly recommend this dental office.

Sleep Apnea Treatment FAQ
- How do I get started with sleep apnea treatment in Houston, TX?
- If you've already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, we can begin fitting an oral appliance right away, and if not, we'll help coordinate a sleep study first. Call (281) 741-7400 or book online to start sleep apnea treatment.
- How much does sleep apnea treatment cost?
- The cost of an oral appliance varies, and it's often covered in part by medical insurance rather than dental. Our team will review your coverage and the price with you before you begin.
- Does Lava Dental take my insurance?

- Is an oral appliance better than CPAP?
- For mild to moderate sleep apnea, an oral appliance is a comfortable, effective option, especially for people who can't tolerate CPAP. For severe cases, CPAP may still be recommended, and we'll work with your physician to find the best fit.
- Will an oral appliance stop my snoring?
- Many patients see a significant reduction in snoring, since the appliance keeps the airway open during sleep. Dr. Tatari will help determine whether it's the right solution for you.
