What is Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder where your breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted while you sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea happens when the muscles in your throat fail to keep your airway open. When the airway collapses your body wakes you up momentarily in order to reopen your airway. This process is repeated several times a night.
Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat
- Headaches in the morning
- Mood changes
- High blood pressure
- Night sweats
If you notice these symptoms, you should schedule a consultation with our sleep apnea specialists.

Find Freedom From Sleep Apnea
Trying to live with sleep apnea is not easy. Our team of experts want to help you find the freedom you’re looking for.
What Treatment Options Are Available?
There are several treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea. For mild cases, there are several non-surgical options, including mouthpieces.
Many more severe cases are treated using the CPAP machine. CPAP machines blow pressurized air into your throat, keeping it open. These machines usually come with a mask that fits over your nose or mouth.
If devices and lifestyle changes aren’t working, surgery is your next option. In fact, surgery is the only way to cure your sleep apnea for good.

Dr Bolding is the best. He and his entire staff go above and beyond! I had double jaw surgery in December of 2016 after I learned for the first time that I had obstructive sleep apnea that was caused by my jaws being too far back and misaligned. My sleep study showed that I stopped breathing 56 times a night and that I had never had a good nights sleep. Dr Bolding’s surgery cured my sleep apnea and tripled my airway. I am so grateful to him and his entire staff for taking such great care of me and for changing my life!!
I also had severe sleep apnea due to a restricted airway. CPAP machine was not helping. Sleep apnea was causing depression, weight gain, hair loss, pre-diabetes, irritability, headaches, neck pain and a general lack of wanting to function due to poor sleeping patterns. I am less than six months post-surgery and the results are astonishing. Every improvement we discussed has happened and other improvements we had not discussed. Dr. Bolding gave me my life back and his support staff was incredible in assisting him to do this. I am forever grateful and highly recommend.
