Common Questions
About Additional Dental Care in Calgary
Yes. Royal Oak Smiles provides custom oral appliance therapy (OAT) for patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea and those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine. The device gently repositions the jaw during sleep to keep the airway open. A sleep physician diagnosis is required before fabrication, and our team coordinates directly with your physician.
A snore guard is a custom-fitted oral appliance that holds the lower jaw slightly forward during sleep, preventing the soft tissue vibration that causes snoring. At Royal Oak Smiles, snore guards are made from precise dental impressions for a comfortable, secure fit. Most patients report significant snoring reduction within the first week of use.
Royal Oak Smiles recommends an assessment if you experience jaw clicking or popping, jaw pain or soreness when chewing, limited mouth opening, headaches centred near the temples, or facial muscle tension. Dr. Khattra performs a thorough TMJ assessment to identify the source of dysfunction and recommend appropriate treatment.
Coverage for oral sleep appliances and TMJ treatment varies significantly by insurance plan. Some Alberta plans cover a portion of oral appliance fabrication, particularly when a sleep medicine diagnosis is on file. Royal Oak Smiles direct-bills your insurer and provides a pre-treatment cost estimate so you can review your coverage before proceeding.
