Luna Wellness Centre
If you are struggling with sleep apnea, snoring, or any other sleep issues that keep you up at night, Luna Wellness Centre has the solutions for you. Having helped patients in Grande Prairie and surrounding areas in Northwestern Alberta, we have one goal: to improve your sleep health so you have the energy to make every moment count and enjoy a well-lived life.
Personalized Care to Get Your Sleep Back on Track
When you struggle to sleep, it affects more than just your night. It impacts your work, relationships, thinking, mental health, weight, and even your safety. Plus, it could raise your risk of diabetes, heart disease and other physical and psychological conditions. That’s why it’s crucial to reach out to the right care providers.
At Luna Wellness Centre, we’re here to help. From checking your sleep to arranging tests and treatment, we make sure you get the support you need quickly and affordably.
We Have a Proven Track Record
Most of our patients have seen significant improvements in their quality of sleep, energy levels, and general health after following our treatment plans.
We Offer Convenient Appointments
We offer quick scheduling because we know how troublesome it can be not to be able to sleep well. If you have a job that involves driving or operating heavy machinery, a lack of restorative sleep can put you and the people around you in danger. You may be required to receive treatment for sleep apnea. You will need and want to be alert at every job so your performance doesn’t suffer. Life is busy, and you need solutions that fit your schedule. Contact us today, and someone from our team will get back to you shortly to schedule a consultation.
We Accept Insurance
We work with a wide range of dental insurance plans, including Blue Cross, Manulife, Sun Life Financial, and Canada Life.
Our Treatment Process
Book Your Phone Consultation
Start by scheduling a 20-minute appointment (over the phone) with our dental sleep team at Luna Wellness Centre. During this call, you will have the opportunity to discuss your symptoms in depth. We will listen to your concerns, ask questions to understand your condition better and outline the initial steps toward diagnosing your sleep issues.
Get Home Sleep Testing
We provide a simple, self-use sleep test kit from leading sleep test brands. Just come in to pick it up and return it when you’re done. Our easy-to-use devices quietly track your sleep, breathing patterns, and more to check for sleep apnea—all in the comfort of your home!
Comprehensive Treatment for You as a Whole
As a general dentist, we collaborate with both you and a sleep specialist to recommend and decide on the most effective approach to improving your sleep.
Oral Appliance Therapy: If you have a sleep breathing disorder, for example, chronic snoring or sleep apnea, we fit you with a custom-made dental device to correct the issue in your oral anatomy.
Patients using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) also benefit greatly from our custom-fit mouthguards to keep their airway open artificially during sleep;
TMJ / TMD Appliance: Do you clench or grind your teeth? Do you suffer from headaches, sore facial muscles or worn teeth? This happens when your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is out of alignment.
We may recommend removable dental appliances to address the temporomandibular disorder (TMD) by easing pressure on the jaw joint and relieving pain.
This is similar to a mouthguard that we carefully adjust and monitor over multiple appointments to ensure it provides consistent protection and adapts to changes in your bite.
Frenectomy: Sometimes, snoring, mouth breathing, crowded teeth, a misaligned bite, and speech difficulties are signs of a tongue-tie or lip-tie.
A thin piece of skin called a frenum connects different parts of your mouth, for example, your tongue to the floor of your mouth, and your lips to your gums.
If the frenum is too short, thick, or tight, we can perform a simple procedure to restore normal function. This may be surgically or with a laser.
The procedure is an outpatient procedure completed in minutes at our office, with no need for hospitalization. We treat both children and adults.
Whether you visit us for custom appliances or a frenectomy, all guidance will be practical and focused on what’s best for your situation.
If we think you will benefit from changing your lifestyle or trying positional therapy, we will talk about that as well. We will take every step possible to ensure you have healthy oral movement and help you reach REM sleep.
Luna Wellness Centre: Dedicated to Helping You Achieve Healthy Sleep
Some people delay addressing their snoring and other symptoms because they think they will be prescribed a CPAP mask, which they will have to wear for the rest of their lives. But medical technology has come a long way. As effective as CPAP is for treating sleep apnea, it’s not the only option anymore.
Luna Wellness Centre offers a more convenient and user-friendly option: oral appliance therapy. Our professionals fabricate mandibular advancement or tongue-retaining devices based on your precise dental measurements. This appliance gently holds your jaw in a forward position, adjusts the tongue’s position to prevent it from falling back into your throat, and keeps your airway open throughout the night. As a result, treatment can eliminate symptoms – snoring, teeth grinding, and interruptions in your breathing. However, in some cases where the appliance doesn’t fully eliminate symptoms, we can assess and recommend treatment that better fits your needs. Contact us today to learn more.
