Sleep Apnea
If you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), you know the negative impact it can have on your health and relationships. We offer custom-fitted oral appliances based on first-hand knowledge.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is due to the collapse of the soft palate and jaw of the mandible limiting, and at times temporarily blocking, the flow of air into the lungs. OSA is a physical blockage of the airway which is not the same as Central Sleep Apnea where the brain “forgets” to tell the body to breathe. Central Sleep apnea can only be treated with a C-PAP machine. Since OSA is a physical issue rather than a physiological one, we can use custom–fitted oral appliances that prevent the jaw of the mandible and soft palate from obstructing the airway.
What Are The Symptoms?
If you suffer from any of these symptoms, we can work with outside sleep professionals to diagnose and treat your condition accordingly.
Types of Oral Appliances
There are many different types of sleep apnea oral appliances. We offer several systems because every person is unique with different needs and concerns. Choose from a variety of oral appliance options with different features and costs. Our most popular appliances are the Somnodent MAS and the TAP3 oral appliance.
Don't Ignore the Symptoms of Sleep Apnea.
It is not safe to let a sleep apnea condition go undetected and untreated for too long. Be aware of the symptoms of sleep apnea and take action if you seem to suffer from any of them. It never hurts to undergo a diagnosis for sleep apnea, as it becomes especially important if you do have the condition. Contact us for a consultation.
Even making an appointment is stress-free at Zöe Dental.

These Patients Have a Whole New Perspective on the Dentist
"I was impressed and happy I found this practice. The dentist was empathetic, had great calming energy, and handled a very nervous patient getting a wisdom tooth extracted. (I was surprised how quick it was - and there was zero pain). All the staff were friendly, and they ran me through the costs before proceeding. I'm a fan!"
David W.
"I had a great experience from the moment I walked through the door. The staff at this practice are top-notch. The hygienist was a genuinely nice person and made me feel so comfortable. The dentist was friendly and thorough. I’m so glad I chose to come here after many years of going without dental care. They let me know that I’m valued, and I’ve gone from feeling anxious about dental work to excited about partnering with these professionals to achieve optimal dental health."
Kathryn R.
"I’ve been going to Zöe Dental for about a month now and absolutely love it! They are very considerate about the barriers that you may have when it comes to getting dental work and try to make it the best experience for you. I was able to get an appointment with them fairly quickly even as a new patient. They have quickly gotten me in to address any issues that I was having. I’ve been recommending them over and over again to my family and friends!"
Jennie G.
"Zöe Dental is a nice place to visit…..and it's a dentist's office. Everyone there is friendly. The hygienists are personable and make you feel at ease. You have the option of choosing between a massage chair, essential oils, chapstick, and so on to ease your anxieties. They ask you what matters most during your dental experience. They bill your insurance and you can even get a cookie at check out. I am only going to Zöe Dental from here on out."
Lea F.
"Newly arrived in Asheville, my wife and I selected Zöe Dental based on recommendations from friends and on internet research. We're very glad we did. The practice is without question the most well-run, professional, and confidence-inspiring dentists' office we've ever encountered."
Thomas S.
"Finally a dentist and staff that really cares about the person. I felt well taken care of and was listened to. Having had terrible experiences in the past, I came away from Zöe Dental feeling confident that my needs will be met with expertise and compassion."
