Snoring and Sleep Apnoea

Dental Treatment Finder

If snoring or sleep apnoea is affecting you or your partner’s sleep, it’s time to seek a solution.

At Alexandra Dental, we can help you manage these common sleep disturbances with effective treatments tailored to your needs.

Our skilled dentists have received extensive training to address sleep-related conditions, providing practical solutions to improve your sleep quality and overall health.

Understanding Snoring and Sleep Apnoea

Snoring

Snoring occurs when the muscles in your throat relax during sleep, causing the soft tissues to vibrate as air passes through. While snoring itself isn’t typically harmful, it can disrupt your partner’s sleep, leading to frustration and disrupted rest.

Sleep Apnoea

Sleep apnoea is a more serious condition where your airway becomes blocked repeatedly during sleep, causing short periods of breathlessness. These apnoeic events can last up to ten seconds and occur hundreds of times during the night, affecting your oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure. Over time, untreated sleep apnoea can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.

If you suspect you have sleep apnoea, it’s important to seek professional help. For those with severe sleep apnoea, we recommend visiting your GP to discuss further medical evaluation and treatment options.

How We Can Help You Sleep Better

At Alexandra Dental, we offer mandibular advancement splints to treat mild sleep apnoea and snoring. This custom-made device is designed to be worn at night and gently shifts your lower jaw forward to keep your airway open, preventing the muscles from collapsing and causing blockages during sleep.

Please note:

Mandibular advancement splints are only suitable for mild cases of sleep apnoea. If you experience severe sleep apnoea, we strongly recommend consulting your GP for further evaluation and treatment.

What is a Mandibular Advancement Splint?

Custom-fit device: We create a personalised splint based on impressions of your teeth.
Gently shifts the jaw: The splint moves your lower jaw forward during sleep, helping to keep your airway open.
Easy to use: Wear the splint at night to reduce snoring and apnoea events, helping you and your partner get a more restful sleep.

I want to share my opinion about the extraordinary professionalism of Dr. Sarah Savage. She found an approach to me from the first minutes of communication, helped solve my problem with my tooth, and thanks to her support, I avoided stress. I highly recommend contacting this doctor.

Next level amazing!! I’m not the best with the dentist & hygienist and always dread going to be honest. This practise however is completely different to anywhere I’ve been before, everyone is super friendly and more importantly the appointment is tailored to your needs and limits!! Don’t get me wrong, I’m never going to enjoy going every 6 months and it certainly won’t be the highlight of my week…. however I can safely say I will no longer dread going or feel anxious the night before. Anyone feeling nervous or worried give these guys a go, you won’t regret it and your more than likely walk out wondering why you didn’t go sooner.

Dr. Shah, his dental nurses and the admin staff at Alexandra Dental are amazing! Dr. Shah has given my son, Connor, his smile and confidence back with Invisalign and then composite bonding. To see Connor smile again and show his teeth is so heartwarming and words cannot express how happy he is. Thank you Dr. Shah and everyone that we have had the pleasure of dealing with at Alexandra Dental! If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Dr. Ammar was highly recommended by my own dentist to carry out a difficult root canal treatment and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.I’m quite anxious when it comes to dentist visits and needles but felt really comfortable and relaxed with Dr. Ammar and Laura. The procedure was so smooth, and Dr. Ammar’s confidence in successfully completing the treatment genuinely helped to alleviate the majority of my anxiety. And it wrapped up faster than expected which was a plus!Thank you for putting me at ease and saving my tooth!

Reception staff very helpful and polite. Meera is the best dentist I have ever had. Even though I am nervous, she puts me at ease by giving me a warm welcome and talking to me throughout my visit.

Having needed a specialist for a re-root canal Ammar Al-Hourani was able to see me and arrange quick & professional treatment. I felt relaxed and at ease through out the procedure and it was quicker than expected, I highly recommend. Great service, very happy!

Having a root canal is not my favourite passtime activity. However, Dr Ammar is an amazing Endodontist and together with his assistant they helped me relax during the treatment. I could not have asked for a better place to have this procedure completed. Alexandra Dental Centre has a team of professional and likeable people from when you enter the reception to your experience in the chair and leaving feeling so much better because your teeth have been handle in a safe, caring way. Thank you Dr Ammar Al-Hourani and also thank you to my regular dentist Dr Shilan Shah, and the whole team at the centre. Honestly, Alexandra Dental Cosmetic & Implant Centre comes highly recommended!

I went to Alexandra to replace my veneers that had been fitted 10 years ago by another practice. Dr Shah, the dental nurses and reception team were extremely accommodating and made the process really easy. My veneers today look better than ever and super natural! Overall, it was a super positive experience and I can not recommend them enough.

I needed to have some very old crowns replaced and the root canal treatment repeated. My excellent usual dentist (Sarah Savage) referred me to Ammar Al-Hourani, who is an Endodontist.He explained everything very clearly to me, and answered my many questions. He completely put me at ease. I had two sessions booked (one for each tooth) for 2 hours each. The way he and his specialist dental assistant work so well together meant both appointments actually were only just over 1 hour. They work together like a very well-oiled machine.Ammar is very calm, which must be good for nervous patients (I am not, but still appreciated it!) and so skilled it’s amazing! He’s incredibly talented and very well qualified. I would recommend him to anyone, especially nervous patients as he just makes you feel relaxed and you feel you are in very safe hands.

I have been working with Raoul and Megan over the last year for my Invisalign and composite bonding and I am so pleased with the results. My teeth have transformed beyond my expectations. Raoul has been so helpful and done an amazing job. Thank you

I have been a patient at practice for years. Through that time i have seen Sarah who is quietly competent and thorough. I recently developed tooth pain and Sarah diagnosed it as problem with a root canal i had many years ago. i was helped by staff to book an appointment with a specialist within the practice. I was seen by Ammar and put at ease and explained the risks of the procedure and whether i wanted to book to have it done. I did and had the appointment two weeks later. Ammar was excellent and re did the root canal in little over 45 minutes and checked with xray multiple times as he did it. the cost was explained to me before i want through the procedure. I gladly recommend Alexandra dental. their staff are excellent friendly and helpful.

The whole team was great and Tniya was amazing, they were all so welcoming and caring. I had fillings and a clean done prior to my invisalign consultation. The whole team is so professional, thank you all. They explained everything I asked very thoroughly and constantly reassured me as I was anxious.

I recently had a terrible toothache and visited Beehive Dental Practice in Welwyn Garden City for treatment. Unfortunately, not only did they fail to address my excruciating pain, but they also misdiagnosed the issue. They claimed the problem was with one of my premolars on the right side and insisted it needed to be extracted. After taking an X-ray, they confidently stated there was an infection beneath the tooth and told me I would need to wait a week for the extraction.Unable to bear the pain any longer, I sought a second opinion at Alexandr Dental in Hemel Hempstead, where I met Sarah Savage. With a straightforward test, she identified that the source of the pain was not the premolar but actually the very last molar, which was in a terrible state. Sarah promptly removed the molar, and I am now completely pain-free.Thank you, Sarah Savage, for your skill, professionalism, and accurate diagnosis—you truly made a difference!

I had a really bad build up of plaque and which I was incredibly embarrassed off. Philly & the nurse made me feel really comfortable.After one appointment she’s completely transformed my teeth and gave me some really helpful tips. I was expecting the appointment to cost more, considering everything they did.Thank you again.

I would like to send many thanks to Donna for using effective communication after a referral from my dentist and getting me an appointment promptly.Ammar and Layla gave me plenty of reassurance during my surgery. I am no longer fearful and have had a positive experience. Thank you

Have been going to Alexandra Dental for a few years now and just recently finished a course of orthodontics with them. Have had consistently good experiences, both for dental and orthodontic work, and am very pleased with the results. Would recommend.

I was recommended to visit Alexandra Dental when I needed front upper bridgework replacing. Great care, sensible advice and expertise, was shown by Doctor Shilan Shah, as I was professionally measured up for the new unit using amazing modern technology. It was duly made for me and successfully fitted. My smiling confidence has been restored but I can no longer terrify the grandkids with my impressions of Dracula..

A great dental practice our family. The practice is clean, modern and has up to date technology and equipment. The staff are all friendly.Dr Shilan Shah was warm and experienced, he made me feel comfortable quickly and rectified some problems I had with my teeth! I was fortunate enough to have Invisalign treatment at the practice - it was easy, effective and straightforward! My teeth are perfect!Couldn’t recommend Alexandra Dental Practice enough - especially for young children, I have toddlers and it’s so quick and easy with them!Thanks for much x

I have been treated by this practice for over 35 years. Mu treatment has been to the highest standards and care. When I joined I was a very nervous patient which quickly subsided thanks to their patience and encouragement. I just used their online booking system which is the easiest of all such booking systems I have used. Keep up the great work!

I have been a patient at this practice for over 25years and I do like the improvements that the new owners have made. They are always accommodating to my needs as I have autism but please bring back the TV stations as seeing videos of teeth on the TV screen only adds to my anxiety. I need a distraction while I wait for my appointment.
