VIVOS
Advanced Sleep Apnea Treatment in Calgary
Do you wake up feeling tired, even after what should be a full night’s sleep? Do you snore loudly or find yourself waking up gasping for air? These may be signs of sleep apnea – a common but treatable sleep condition.
Sleep apnea happens when breathing is repeatedly interrupted during the night, reducing oxygen to your body and brain. At Westside Dental in Calgary SW, we provide innovative treatments like VIVOS to help you breathe easier, sleep more soundly, and wake up refreshed.
What Is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is a serious health condition that affects many Canadians. It involves pauses in breathing during sleep, which lower oxygen levels and can increase the risk of health issues such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and chronic fatigue.
VIVOS as a CPAP Alternative for Sleep Apnea
At Westside Dental, we are proud to offer the VIVOS system, an advanced treatment for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike traditional CPAP machines, VIVOS uses a custom oral appliance that is discreet, comfortable, virtually pain-free, and easy to wear. Treatment time is limited, and many patients experience lasting results with the added benefit of improved jaw alignment and potential cosmetic enhancements.
Symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can cause a variety of symptoms, including loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, morning headaches, daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, irritability, and elevated blood pressure. With modern options like VIVOS, effective and comfortable relief is now possible.
The VIVOS Solution
Thousands of patients across North America have improved their health and quality of life with the VIVOS system. This custom oral appliance gently repositions the jaw to open the airway, helping to reduce or eliminate sleep apnea symptoms. Patients often notice better sleep, increased energy, and overall improved well-being.
