Sleep Dentistry
Breathe easy. Rest deeply.
Quieter Nights, Brighter Mornings
Snoring and sleep apnea do more than disrupt your night. Poor sleep can leave you tired, foggy, and short on energy, and untreated sleep apnea can affect your long-term health. At Ilios Dentaire, Dr. Kouniaris works with a sleep clinic to help you find answers, then provides a custom oral appliance designed to keep your airway open while you sleep.

The Sleep Dentistry Difference at Ilios
A custom oral appliance gently positions your lower jaw forward, helping keep your airway open so you breathe steadily while you sleep.
Better breathing supports deeper, more restful sleep so that you can start your day with more energy and focus.
Reducing snoring helps you and your partner enjoy calmer, more peaceful nights.
For many patients, an oral appliance is a quiet, portable option that is easy to wear and simple to care for.
Signs of Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Sleep-disordered breathing often goes unnoticed because it happens while you sleep. You may benefit from a consultation if you or a loved one notice loud, frequent snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, or pauses in breathing at night.
During the day, signs can include waking up tired after a full night's sleep, morning headaches, dry mouth or sore throat, and trouble staying focused.
Recognizing these signs early is the first step toward better sleep, more energy, and healthier days.
Sleep dentistry at Ilios Dentaire is designed to be clear, collaborative, and centred around your rest.
Your care begins with a conversation about your sleep.
We listen to your concerns, ask about your symptoms, and examine your mouth, teeth, and jaw to understand the full picture.
To confirm what is happening while you sleep, we work with a sleep clinic that assesses your breathing during sleep.
Their findings help guide the right treatment for you.
If an oral appliance is right for you, one is made specifically for your mouth.
Worn while you sleep, it gently holds your lower jaw forward to help keep your airway open and reduce snoring.
As you adjust to your appliance, we check its fit and comfort.
Our goal is to make sure your treatment stays comfortable and continues to support better sleep.

FAQs
1.Is snoring a sign of sleep apnea?
Not always, but it can be. Snoring happens when the airway is partly blocked during sleep. With obstructive sleep apnea, the airway becomes blocked and breathing pauses again and again through the night. A consultation and sleep assessment can help tell the difference.
2.How does an oral appliance work?
An oral appliance looks similar to a mouthguard and is worn while you sleep. It gently moves your lower jaw slightly forward, which helps keep your airway open so air can flow more freely.
3.Do I need a sleep study?
A sleep assessment is an important part of understanding your breathing during sleep. We work with a sleep clinic to confirm what is happening, so your treatment is based on clear answers.
4.How do I know if sleep dentistry is right for me?
If you snore, wake up tired, or have been told you stop breathing during sleep, the best next step is a consultation at Ilios Dentaire. We discuss your symptoms, assess your mouth and jaw, and guide you toward the approach that best supports your rest and long-term health.
