How much does sleep apnea surgery cost in Westlake, TX?

Cost depends on the type of procedure your case requires. Stone Dental Implant Center provides a clear estimate at your consultation, and because sleep apnea is a medical condition, insurance often covers part or all of surgical treatment.

When is surgery needed for sleep apnea?

Surgery is considered when CPAP or an oral appliance isn't enough or can't be tolerated. It addresses the physical obstruction directly, which non-surgical options cannot always resolve.

What does sleep apnea surgery involve?

Depending on where the airway collapses, surgery may treat the soft palate, throat, or tongue base. For severe cases, repositioning the jaw enlarges the airway. Dr. Stone determines the right approach for you.

Is sleep apnea surgery covered by insurance?

Because sleep apnea is a recognized medical condition, insurance often covers surgical treatment. Coverage varies by plan, and our team helps you understand your benefits before treatment.

Should I see an oral surgeon for sleep apnea?

For surgical treatment, especially jaw repositioning, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon has the specialized training in the airway and facial skeleton needed to treat OSA at its source.

Q: What is obstructive sleep apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition where the airway collapses during sleep, stopping airflow and lowering oxygen to the brain. It repeatedly wakes the sleeper and, untreated, is linked to serious health problems including heart disease.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when the tongue and soft tissue collapse against the back of the throat during sleep, blocking the upper airway. Airflow stops, oxygen levels in the brain drop, and the sleeper is repeatedly woken, often without realizing it. Left untreated, OSA is serious, and is linked to heart problems.

For many people, CPAP or an oral appliance manages the condition. But when those aren't enough, or aren't tolerated, surgery can address the obstruction directly. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Stone offers surgical treatment of the airway, including jaw repositioning for more severe cases.

Addressing the Obstruction at
Its Source

Targets the Airway Directly

Surgery treats the soft palate, throat, or tongue base where the airway collapses, addressing the physical cause of the obstruction.

Jaw Repositioning for Severe Cases

For more advanced OSA, repositioning the jaw enlarges the airway, a procedure that draws on Dr. Stone's surgical expertise with the jaws.

An Option Beyond CPAP

For patients who can't tolerate CPAP or whose appliance isn't enough, surgery offers a path to better sleep and better long-term health.

The Sleep Apnea Surgery Process at Stone Dental Implant Center

1. Evaluation & Diagnosis

Treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms and the severity of your sleep apnea, using diagnostic testing to guide the plan.

2. Identifying the Obstruction

Dr. Stone determines where the airway is collapsing, the soft palate, throat, or tongue base, and whether the jaw position is a factor.

3. A Surgical Plan

The right procedure is matched to your case, from corrective surgery of the throat and soft palate to jaw repositioning for more severe obstruction.

4. Surgery

The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, focused on opening the airway so it stays clear during sleep.

5. Better Sleep & Health

The goal is restful, uninterrupted sleep and the long-term health benefits that come with it, with follow-up to track your progress.
