Care for Sleep Apnea and Snoring

Smiles By Payet Dentistry is a trusted provider of sleep apnea and snoring treatments in Charlotte, NC, offering personalized dental sleep medicine solutions designed to improve both sleep quality and overall health.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night. These interruptions can occur dozens—or even hundreds—of times while you sleep.


Each pause in breathing reduces oxygen levels, causing your brain to briefly wake you so normal breathing can resume. Over time, untreated sleep apnea can leave you feeling exhausted during the day while placing significant stress on your cardiovascular system.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

A good night's sleep is essential for your physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. If you frequently snore, wake up feeling exhausted, or struggle with daytime fatigue, sleep apnea may be preventing you from getting the restorative sleep your body needs.


Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting millions of adults. Unfortunately, many people don't realize they have it because the symptoms occur while they are asleep. Our practice specializes in helping patients find comfortable, effective treatment options that improve sleep, reduce snoring, and restore overall health.
