Sleep health & airway dentistry in Pleasant Prairie
Did you know your dentist can help with snoring, sleep apnea, and airway issues? Old Oaks Dental offers non-invasive dental solutions that help you and your family sleep and breathe the way you were meant to.

Most patients don’t know dentistry plays a critical role in sleep apnea. Your jaw structure directly dictates airway dimensions during sleep; when soft tissues collapse backward, they trigger snoring, oxygen saturation drops, and profound daily exhaustion linked directly to long-term health risks. Instead of a cumbersome CPAP machine, we design slim, custom-fitted oral appliances. These devices gently guide the lower jaw forward to maintain an open, unobstructed airway all night long without noisy hoses, mask restrictions, or electric currents.
In-office screening and risk assessment. The fundamental gateway utility service for the entire sleep category.
Custom-fitted, FDA-cleared mandibular advancement device. Proven, comfortable alternative for mild-to-moderate sleep apnea.
Non-apnea snoring addressed thoroughly with calibrated oral appliances — worth a dedicated clinical profile.
TMD evaluation and management — closely related to structural airway issues and nighttime restriction patterns.
Mouth breathing, tongue tie, and nasal path obstruction screen for kids. Early validation stops development anomalies.
Custom night splints to protect teeth from grinding, a symptom highly correlated with sleep-disordered breathing micro-arousals.
Dr. Piontek completes ongoing continuing education in dental sleep medicine, maintaining active professional memberships to deliver validated clinical pathways.
For patients who struggle to tolerate the noise or restriction of a CPAP mask, our slim oral appliances offer a quiet, highly portable, travel-friendly solution.
We work hand-in-hand with your primary sleep physician to verify diagnostics, read sleep study metrics safely, and secure insurance coverage processing.

Yes. Dentists with dedicated advanced training in dental sleep medicine can construct FDA-cleared mandibular advancement devices to manage mild-to-moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) comfortably. For severe tracking cases, we co-manage parameters directly with your medical sleep physician.
It is a thin, custom-fabricated acrylic guard worn exclusively during sleep. It repositions the lower jaw slightly forward, maintaining tension on the soft tissues of the throat to keep your airway open natively without tubes, mask interfaces, or electric motors.
Yes, a formal diagnosis from a certified medical physician is legally required before an oral appliance can be generated for apnea care. Our team can seamlessly help coordinate a convenient, highly comfortable take-home sleep test kit to confirm your diagnostic indexes.
Yes. Because sleep apnea is classified as a chronic medical disease, oral appliance therapy is processed through your **medical insurance benefits** rather than standard dental coverage. Our billing office works directly with your medical insurance provider to verify coverage before proceeding.
OTC boiling-water snore guards are un-calibrated items that do not treat apnea and can cause long-term bite changes. Prescription oral appliances are custom-fabricated, carefully calibrated to your anatomy, and FDA-cleared specifically for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Yes. Pediatric airway issues like chronic mouth breathing or heavy snoring can frequently be managed with non-invasive dental expanders or laser frenectomies to guide healthy jaw growth and avoid future developmental skeletal complications.
