CPAP Alternatives in Bellingham, WA

Do You Hate Your CPAP Machine? Who doesn't? CPAP machines are a nightmare!

You may be able to throw your CPAP out the window! Dr. Prager offers a COMFORTABLE sleep apnea solution!

Successful sleep apnea treatment could just save your life!

As we know, the CPAP machine attempts to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a destructive, and unfortunately common, breathing disorder. Patients suffering from sleep apnea actually stop breathing in their sleep, causing their oxygen levels to dip dangerously low. The body wakes itself—restarting the breathing process—only when oxygen levels drop to critical levels. Patients can have several obstructive sleep apnea episodes in one night—some patients stop breathing as often as 100 times an hour!

Sleep apnea can disrupt your entire life—patients wake up feeling exhausted, go through the day in a fatigued fog, and suffer from headaches. Your bed partner may complain that you’re keeping them up at night with loud snoring, or even gasping and choking episodes.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY AN UNHAPPY CPAP USER—DON’T GIVE UP ON TREATMENT.

Maybe you’ve already had a dedicated sleep study. You know you have sleep apnea and you’ve been using a CPAP machine, but you just can’t stand to use the CPAP. We have innovative solutions for you—you may be able to use a CPAP alternative to treat sleep apnea.

Dr. Prager will perform a FREE sleep apnea screening. From this screening we’ll figure out:

If you qualify to get rid of your CPAP machine forever
Your comprehensive health history
Your sleep quality—we’ll perform a confidential sleep evaluation
All of the answers to your questions and concerns about sleep apnea

Here at Bellingham Smile Care and Sleep Center we are worried that you or someone you or someone you know is not being effectively treated for sleep apnea. There are 80 million people in the world battling obstructive sleep apnea, and many of them are literally battling for their lives.

Sleep apnea can contribute to a number of very serious health complications. Left untreated sleep apnea increases your risk for heart attack, high blood pressure, and stroke. Over time, chronic low-oxygen levels can cause:

Diabetes
Stroke
Heart disease
Systemic artery disease
Depression
Substantial weight gain
High blood pressure
Memory problems
Cognitive problems
Muscle pain and soreness
Sudden mood shifts
Fibromyalgia
Impotence

These conditions are serious. Don’t give up on treatment just because the CPAP doesn’t work for you. Take control of your health!

So what happens after your sleep apnea assessment?

If your tests indicate that you are a candidate, you can be fitted with a comfortable, custom crafted oral appliance to REPLACE YOUR CPAP MACHINE. These oral appliances restore optimal breathing, keeping your airway open and reducing sleep apnea obstructed breathing.

David Updike

"I tried 5 different CPAP masks over a period of 18 months. They were noisy, uncomfortable and ineffective. I felt like I was drowning in the CPAP. On my worst night with my new dental appliance I sleep better than I did on my best night with the CPAP. I sleep more soundly and more completely now. My quality of sleep is 10 times better! Thank you Dr. Prager!"
