If you experience any of the following, you may suffer from sleep apnea:

-Morning drowisness
-Gasping for breath in the middle of the night
-Snoring
Possible complications if left untreated can be:
-High blood pressure
-Memory problems
-Impotence
-Cardiovascular disease

-Cognitive impairment
-Depression
Drs. Emery and Scuro can offer sleep apnea patiens an alternative to C-PAP machine. Our office can make a small oral appliance that provides a more personalized and less intrusive treatment to specifically fit each patient so that they can enjoy better sleep with more freedom. This appliance moves the lower jaw forward and holds it ther while sleeping. This helps to maintain an open airway, reducing snoring and sleep apnea.
Drs. Emery and Scuro have been treating patients with sleep apnea for over 15 years. Call 585-247-7110 for a consult to find out if you are a candidate for a small oral appliance so everyone can rest easy.
