Sleep Apnea: Get Back Your Restful Sleep with LPK Dental
Are you waking up feeling exhausted even after a full night’s sleep? Do you snore loudly or experience pauses in your breathing during the night?

At LPK Dental, Dr. Liesen, Dr. Pinzl, and Dr. Kessinger are experienced in diagnosing and treating sleep apnea, helping you achieve restful sleep and improve your overall well-being.
What is Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea is best described as repeated interruptions in breathing while you’re asleep. The most common type is obstructive sleep apnea where your airway becomes blocked by the soft tissues in the back of your throat. This leads to loud snoring, waking up regularly throughout the night, and sometimes, gasping for air.
The Impact of Untreated Sleep Apnea
If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase your risk of:
- Cardiovascular problems: High blood pressure, heart attack, stroke
- Daytime fatigue and drowsiness: Impaired concentration, increased risk of accidents
- Type 2 diabetes
- Mood disorders: Depression, irritability
