Video Overview

Do dental implants for sleep apnea require surgery? Dental implants for the treatment of sleep apnea are sometimes needed when the patient does not have enough teeth to help support the oral appliance that is fabricated to threat the sleep apnea. Yes, dental implants do require surgery, but, after that has been completed, an oral appliance can be fabricated where the bottom jaw can then be advanced forward, opening up that breathing tube behind the tongue and soft palate, which will help them with their sleep apnea problems.
