Sleep Apnea

“I have been using my oral appliance for about five years.  I call it my ‘most prized possession’.  Before I used my oral appliance I tried the CPAP to treat my sleep apnea, but it was torturous.  I’d rather die early than live with that CPAP machine attached to me every night.  My oral appliance is comfortable and it came with a warranty.  I’ve tried several different types of oral appliances and the one I have now from Dentistry With TLC is the most comfortable.”

“I came to Dentistry With TLC when my doctor recommended I see Dr. Smith to have an oral sleep appliance made.  I really like Dr. Smith and everybody at Dentistry With TLC.  I just couldn’t get comfortable with my CPAP mask and I didn’t like the hose, but my appliance is so easy.  It’s easy to sleep with, easy to clean and easy to take with me when I travel.  Now I feel rested and I don’t yawn much during the day.  My appliance has been well worth the money.”

“Dr. Smith is down home but professional at the same time.  If you don’t like your CPAP I recommend getting an oral appliance.   Just do it.  Set up a payment plan if you need to and start sleeping well again.  I stopped using my CPAP because it caused my nose to run and made my sneeze.  I’m so glad Dr. Smith told me about the sleep appliance because I got used to it in no time.  It’s easy to use and comfortable.  I sleep much deeper now and I even dream again.  I don’t have as many sinus issues during the day, I have more energy and I just feel better overall.”

“Now that I use a sleep appliance, I no longer fall asleep in the early evening and I have more energy all day long.  When I used to use a CPAP I disliked the mask because it was uncomfortable and the air pressure bloated my stomach.  I got used to my sleep appliance in less than a week and I think it’s well worth the cost.  My wife likes it because she is no longer disturbed by my snoring and she sleeps better too.  Everyone at Dentistry With TLC is helpful and they can answer all my questions.”

“My daughter is a nurse at Barnes and she told me Dr. Smith makes sleep appliances.  I didn’t like my CPAP machine and decided to try an oral appliance.  I would definitely recommend coming to Dentistry With TLC if you need a dentist or if you have a CPAP and don’t like it.  I have always received great care with Dr. Smith.”

“Dr. Anna Smith has my true respect.  I am an engineer so I don’t say that very easily.  I will never go anywhere without my sleep appliance because it works.  My CPAP was uncomfortable.  Even after trying 3 different face masks I never got a good fit.  The CPAP blew too much air and woke me and my wife.  I would wake up every hour and look at the clock.  After about 4 hours I would finally just take the CPAP off so I could go to sleep.  My experience with my sleep appliance is the exact opposite of the CPAP.  My appliance fits well and I don’t have any blisters or indentations on my face.  It’s easy to travel with and it worked from the very first night.  Getting better sleep means I no longer have the tendency to doze off during the day and I feel better all day.  I also get better rest in less time, which adds hours to my day.”

“Now that I sleep with my appliance I no longer wake up with headaches and I’m not sleepy during the day.  I really disliked using my CPAP because the mask on my face made it difficult to sleep.  With my appliance I sleep better, I have more energy throughout the day and I like having more mobility while I sleep rather than being tethered by a mask and hose.  Dr. Smith is great!  I’m glad I called her after seeing her on Channel 5 news.”

Sleep Apnea

“I no longer feel guilty about not treating my sleep apnea because now I use my oral appliance every night.  I hated everything about my CPAP.  It was very uncomfortable, I had to sleep on my back and it restricted my movement.  The CPAP left marks on my face, it was hard to transport and it was loud.  My oral appliance is comfortable, very easy to clean and I can take my appliance anywhere.  I love Dentistry With TLC.  Dr. Smith is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.  She truly cares about me and the staff is very friendly and professional as well.  My appliance is well worth the cost and Dentistry With TLC made it affordable with a payment plan.”

“I love that no one knows I’m wearing my sleep appliance when I use it at night.  I didn’t like the CPAP because of the way it looked and the noise it made.  However, my appliance is quiet, discrete and it helps me sleep well.  My life has improved since I started using my sleep appliance because I sleep better now and I have more energy during the day.  Everyone at Dentistry With TLC has been very pleasant, helpful and supportive.  I’m so glad I decided to get a sleep appliance. It’s been well worth the money I spent.”

“I got used to my oral appliance in just two days.  I’m able to sleep well now and no longer feel tired during the day.  It’s well worth the cost for a restful night of sleep.  My CPAP was very difficult for me to wear because it would fall off during the night.  Now that I use an oral appliance, I’m able to move freely, I can breathe easily and it fits like a comfortable mouth guard.  I had an accident recently and broke some bones in my face.  I would not be able to use my CPAP at all, but I can sleep with my appliance comfortably.”

“Dr. Smith is a peach, Sara in the financial department is super and the entire Dentistry With TLC team is great.  My oral appliance has made a wonderful and dramatic improvement in my life.  I learned about Dr. Smith and this appliance from fellow members at my church.  I used a CPAP and disliked everything about it.  Now I use an oral appliance and I my medical doctor said I no longer need to use the CPAP.  My oral appliance is so much easier to clean than my CPAP and  convenient for travel.”

“My life has improved since Dr. Smith made me an oral appliance because now I can breathe at night and I get a better night’s sleep.  I used to use a CPAP but I felt claustrophobic and I couldn’t sleep with that machine.  My oral appliance is completely different.  It’s easy to travel with, easy to take care of and it doesn’t make any noise!  Everyone at Dentistry With TLC is very pleasant and friendly. I’m very satisfied with my experience here.”

“My appliance is comfortable, it’s small enough to carry in my purse when I’m staying overnight away from home, and it helps me sleep well so I feel better during the day.  Before I had my appliance I used a CPAP and I found it to be very uncomfortable.  It was such a pain to unhook my CPAP and go to the bathroom, then hook it back up before going back to bed.  I’m so glad I decided to get my sleep appliance at Dentistry With TLC.  Everyone is friendly and helpful.”

Andrew S., Venedy, IL

“I’m very pleased and have no complaints about my sleep appliance or Dentistry With TLC.  I tried to use a CPAP and couldn’t get used to the hose and the noise.  I saw Dr. Smith on TV and decided to get a sleep appliance.  I got used to my appliance the very first night.  It’s easy to use and it helps me fall asleep fast.  I sleep much better now.  I even feel better and have more energy during the day.”

Janet C., O’Fallon, IL

“I really disliked the noise of my CPAP. I love that my oral appliance is quiet, it allows me to move around in my sleep and it’s easier to travel with than my CPAP. I’m sleeping better with my oral appliance. I heard about Dr. Smith on TV and I’m glad I came to Dentistry With TLC to get an oral appliance.”

“Dr. Smith and everyone with whom I’ve worked are kind, caring and very competent.  This has been a great experience!  Before I got my oral appliance I used a CPAP and felt like an alien.  I was claustrophobic and would toss and turn in my sleep.  I’m a mouth breather and would tear the mask off during the night.  With my oral appliance it no longer matters where or in what position I sleep and I can easily breathe through my mouth.  My appliance is portable.  I’m MUCH more alert and rested.  I have more energy and joy.  I consider the cost of my appliance is negligible compared to my results.”

Ron B., Bartelso, IL

“Don’t wait.  Get this oral appliance as soon as you can.  I used to use a CPAP and I disliked everything about it.  Since I’ve been using my appliance I sleep better at night and have more energy during the day.  I no longer use my CPAP and don’t have to deal with the noise of my CPAP when I sleep, I don’t wake up during the night and my wife sleeps better too.  I’m glad I learned about Dr. Smith on the radio and drove to Godfrey.  Everything at Dentistry With TLC has been great.”

Robert A., Mascoutah, IL

“Before I used an oral appliance I was tired all day and rarely dreamed because I wasn’t getting deep, restful sleep.  Now that I use my oral appliance I dream nightly and am not tired all day.  I also yawn less.  My appliance is easy to use, easy to clean and completely portable.  My CPAP was ineffective and I disliked the maintenance and cumbersome feeling.  My experience at Dentistry With TLC has been terrific.  Everyone is friendly and helpful.  My appliance is totally worth the cost because the results are great.”
