Because Better Breathing Leads to Better Living

At BioDental Healing, we know that the way you breathe—especially during sleep—can affect everything from energy and immunity to mood, brain health, and even dental health. That’s why we offer Sleep and Airway Dentistry: a proactive, whole-body approach that addresses the deep connection between oral structures, breathing function, and long-term vitality.

Many of our patients come to us exhausted, clenching or grinding at night, or struggling with chronic inflammation—and often, the root cause lies in an overlooked airway issue.

What Is Sleep & Airway Dentistry?

Sleep and airway dentistry focuses on identifying and treating oral factors that restrict breathing, especially during sleep. These issues can contribute to:

  • Snoring or gasping at night

  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

  • Daytime fatigue and brain fog

  • Mouth breathing

  • TMJ dysfunction

  • Poor facial development in children

  • Chronic tension, inflammation, and anxiety

By identifying and addressing the oral and structural contributors to these problems, we help you breathe better, sleep better, and feel more restored.

Signs You May Have an Airway or Sleep Breathing Issue:

  • You wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep

  • You grind your teeth or clench your jaw at night

  • You or your partner notice snoring or gasping

  • You breathe through your mouth during the day or night

  • You’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea (but don’t tolerate a CPAP)

  • You have frequent headaches, neck pain, or brain fog

  • Your child wets the bed, snores, or struggles with focus or behavior

Our Approach to Sleep & Airway Care

We take a whole-person, collaborative approach to airway dentistry—starting with your symptoms, history, and health goals.

Our process may include:

  • Airway-focused exam and history

  • 3D Cone Beam CT scan to evaluate airway volume, nasal passages, tongue posture, and jaw alignment

  • Sleep screening tools (like take-home sleep studies if appropriate)

  • Assessment of oral habits (mouth breathing, tongue tie, clenching, tongue posture, etc.)

  • Custom night guards or oral sleep appliances

  • TMJ support and bite realignment when needed

  • Referral to trusted sleep physicians, ENTs, or myofunctional therapists for collaborative care

Holistic Solutions Rooted in Biology

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions like pushing a CPAP or ignoring symptoms until they become severe. Instead, we look for the why behind your airway challenges, and work with your body—not against it.

Many patients benefit from:

  • Myofunctional therapy to retrain tongue and facial muscles

  • Ozone therapy to reduce inflammation in sinus or soft tissue

  • Metal-free, BPA-free oral appliances

  • Breathing habit coaching and lifestyle support

  • Referrals for surgical consultation only when truly necessary

Why This Matters to Us

We see sleep and airway care as an extension of our mission: to provide compassionate, biologically based care that supports the whole person. Breathing is foundational. If it’s compromised, every system in the body suffers—often silently.

Through Sleep & Airway Dentistry, we bring together our values of Curiosity, Presence, and Collaboration to help patients heal at the root level, feel better in their bodies, and reclaim their energy and clarity.

A Clearer Path to Rest, Resilience, and Relief

Whether you’re navigating long-standing fatigue or just starting to explore airway health, we’re here to help you connect the dots—and breathe a little easier.
