What is sleep apnea treatment?

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes you to stop breathing repeatedly during sleep, often due to obstruction in the airway. Over time, this disruption can impact energy, mood, cardiovascular health, and daily functioning. While many patients first try CPAP machines or oral appliances, surgical treatment may become necessary when those options are ineffective or not tolerated. Dr. Tow provides surgical solutions for repositioning the jaw or removing soft tissue obstructions to open the airway for more reliable breathing during sleep. Treatment is fully tailored to your anatomy and your needs, using advanced digital planning to guide every step.

The benefits of sleep apnea surgery

Restores uninterrupted breathing

Surgical airway correction improves airflow during sleep by physically widening the space behind the tongue and soft palate.

Improves daily focus and energy

When they address the root cause of disrupted sleep, patients often see dramatic improvements in alertness, memory, and daily function.

Lowers long-term health risks

Effective treatment reduces the strain on your heart and brain by preventing the oxygen drops associated with untreated apnea.

The sleep apnea treatment process

1

Airway evaluation and records review

Your care begins with a thorough review of your imaging, sleep studies, and medical history. Dr. Tow examines airway anatomy, jaw position, and soft tissue factors to understand your condition in the context of your full health picture.

2

Coordinated care planning

If treatment involves other providers, Dr. Tow works closely with your sleep physician, ENT, or primary doctor to align next steps. You’re guided through your options clearly, with recommendations based on your anatomy, goals, and comfort level.

3

Streamlined scheduling and case management

Surgery is performed in our private anesthesia suite or a nearby hospital, depending on your case. Using 3D guides and planning software, Dr. Tow repositions the jaw or removes obstructions to permanently improve airflow.

4

Ongoing monitoring and follow-through

After treatment begins, we continue coordinating follow-ups, imaging, and any additional care you may need. Whether that includes new studies, adjustments, or check-ins, you’ll never be left to navigate next steps alone.

FAQ's

If non-surgical options like CPAP or oral appliances haven't worked, or if anatomical issues are contributing to airway collapse, surgery may be the most effective long-term solution. Dr. Tow will assess your airway and coordinate with your sleep physician to confirm the best path forward.

The most common is jaw advancement surgery, which repositions the upper and/or lower jaw to open the airway. Other procedures may involve removing excess soft tissue in the throat or correcting nasal obstructions. The right approach depends on your unique anatomy.

Many patients experience noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of healing. We’ll continue monitoring your progress and may recommend follow-up testing to confirm your results.

I was referred to Dr. Tow by my dentist, and from the moment I stepped into his Beverly Hills office, I felt a sense of calm. The earthy, thoughtfully designed space melts away the usual dental anxiety - it feels more like a peaceful sanctuary than a medical practice. The entire visit was seamless, and the city views from the examination room were an added bonus.

Dr. Tow is the kind of doctor who makes you feel truly seen. He is warm, attentive, and genuinely conversational, with a rare ability to put you at ease without ever seeming rushed. He listened carefully to all of my questions and concerns, then took the time to walk me through every aspect of the procedure in clear, understandable terms. What impressed me most was his patience. I went back and forth on my decision countless times, overthinking every detail, and not once did he make me feel like a burden. He remained calm, supportive, and completely nonjudgmental, encouraging me to take all the time I needed. That level of respect and compassion is something you rarely encounter in healthcare today.

Dr. Tow is not only exceptionally skilled as an oral surgeon, but also someone you can fully trust. He combines top-tier expertise with genuine kindness in a way that transforms a stressful experience into a positive one. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re looking for an oral surgeon who treats you like a person, not just a patient, Dr. Tow is the one.

Dr Tow and staff were warm, caring, organized and conscientious.. I came in for a consult after TMJ arthrocentesis to discuss a possible TMJ joint replacement. Dr Tow reviewed my complex history and records, He asked about my personal TMJ experience and listened to my primary concerns. He examined my TMJ joint and related muscle and nerve conditions thoroughly. He explained imaging results and discussed pros and cons of treatment options. He provided resources, education and recommendations that left me with a renewed sense of hope and confidence in his expertise.

I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out and Dr. Tow was incredible! Not only did he do a great job, my favorite thing about his care was the follow up. He let me come in whenever I was worried about how I was recovering and always assured me I was healing in the right way. He really cares about his patients and made me feel so safe, which is so important when getting such a massive surgery. 10/10

 I had a great experience with Dr. Tow and his entire team. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, supportive, and reassuring.

I underwent a surgical wisdom tooth extraction where the tooth was still in the gum, done with only local anesthetic, so I was understandably very anxious. Dr. Tow was calm, professional, and took excellent care of me throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference.

I unfortunately developed dry socket afterward and had to return a few days later, but once again I was very well looked after. Dr. Tow took the time to check everything thoroughly and provided treatments to help with the healing and discomfort.

I highly recommend Los Angeles Oral and Facial Surgery — truly five-star care from start to finish.
