I had a wonderful experience at A2Z dental practice. From the moment I walked in, the lovely receptionist Leoni made me feel welcomed and at ease. Her warm and professional demeanor set the tone for my visit.
Dr. Abraham and his assistants were absolutely fantastic during my tooth extraction and bone graft. He was incredibly gentle, explained every step of the procedure, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The care and expertise were second to none.
I’m so grateful for the exceptional service I received and highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of dental care. Thank you to the entire team for making a potentially stressful procedure so easy and pain-free! -

My husband required extensive dental work administered under a general anaesthetic. A2Z Dental (Dr. Abraham) completed the procedures with the highest level of professional care and empathy, resulting in a successful outcome on the day, and a speedy recovery for my husband.
Our thanks go to Dr. Abraham and the team at A2Z Dental, as well as Anaesthetist, Dr. Anoop Jain ... job well done!! -

I can't say enough good things about my experience at A2Z Dental. As someone who has always been a very nervous patient when it comes to the dentist, I was terrified of needing treatment. The IV sedation made all the difference—I didn't feel a thing, and the entire process was smooth and completely comfortable. The staff was incredibly understanding and compassionate, making sure I felt at ease every step of the way. Highly recommend, especially for anyone who has dental phobia like me! -

I am one person that really struggles attending a Dentist due bad experiences from when I was younger but by having sleep dentistry I can say A2Z looked after me really well. I have no problems at all recommending them. All the staff treated me very well. The pre and post communications were excellent which is very comforting.

Types of Sleep Apnoea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA): Caused by the relaxation of throat muscles.

- Loud Snoring: Often the first noticeable sign.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These pauses can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and occur repeatedly throughout the night, disrupting sleep quality and leading to oxygen deprivation.
There are three main types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive sleep apnea: The most common type, caused by a blocked airway due to relaxed throat muscles collapsing during sleep.
- Central sleep apnea: Caused by the brain failing to send proper signals to the muscles controlling breathing.
- Complex sleep apnea: A combination of obstructive and central sleep apnea.
Some common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
- Loud snoring
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
- Fatigue
- Waking up gasping for air
- Morning headaches
- Irritability and mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
- Decreased libido
Several factors can increase your risk of developing sleep apnea, including:
- Being overweight or obese
- Having a large neck circumference
- Family history of sleep apnea
- A narrow airway
- Nasal congestion
- Smoking
- Alcohol use
- Menopause (in women)
Sleep apnea is typically diagnosed through a sleep study, which involves overnight monitoring of your breathing, sleep patterns, and oxygen levels.
The most common treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP uses a machine to deliver air pressure through a mask worn while sleeping, keeping the airway open. Other treatment options may include:
- Lifestyle changes: Losing weight, quitting smoking, and avoiding alcohol can improve sleep apnea symptoms.
- Oral appliances: Worn in the mouth to keep the airway open during sleep.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove or reshape tissues blocking the airway.
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health problems, including:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Memory problems
- Traffic accidents
While not always preventable, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing sleep apnea:
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly.
- Quit smoking.
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Treat nasal congestion.
- Sleep on your side.
- Get enough sleep.
