Dr. Kyle Smith, D.D.S., D.ABDSM — Diplomate, American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine · Director-at-Large, ABDSM

Sleep apnea affects millions of Americans — and many don't know they have it. Dr. Kyle Smith brings exceptional expertise to the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring, offering custom oral appliance therapy for patients across all severities of OSA.

As a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and current Director-at-Large for the ABDSM, Dr. Smith works closely with board-certified sleep physicians to ensure every patient receives coordinated, comprehensive care.

Common Signs of Sleep Apnea

Loud or chronic snoring

Waking up gasping or choking

Excessive daytime sleepiness

Morning headaches

Difficulty concentrating

Waking frequently during the night

Dry mouth or sore throat upon waking

Irritability or mood changes

High blood pressure

If you recognize several of these signs, a sleep evaluation may be right for you. Contact us to get started.

Patient Information

Understanding Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues of the throat collapse during sleep, repeatedly blocking the airway. Each pause in breathing — called an apnea — can last from a few seconds to over a minute and may happen dozens or even hundreds of times per night.

What Causes It

The muscles that support the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and tongue relax during sleep. In OSA, this relaxation causes the airway to narrow or close completely, cutting off airflow and forcing the brain to briefly wake the body to reopen it.

Why It Matters

Left untreated, OSA is associated with serious health risks — high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic daytime fatigue. Many patients don't realize how much their sleep quality has deteriorated until they begin treatment.

How We Help

Dr. Smith works with board-certified sleep physicians to confirm your diagnosis through a sleep study before recommending treatment. This coordinated approach ensures you receive the right care — oral appliance therapy is effective across all severities of obstructive sleep apnea and is tailored to each patient's anatomy and needs.

Most Common Treatment

Custom mandibular advancement device for sleep apnea treatment

Oral Appliance Therapy

A custom oral appliance is a small, comfortable device worn during sleep that gently repositions the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. There are no masks, no hoses, and no machine noise — just a discreet, travel-friendly appliance that fits like a sports mouthguard. Dr. Smith takes precise impressions to ensure your appliance fits comfortably and works effectively from the very first night.

Effective for all severities of obstructive sleep apnea

Snoring Treatment

Chronic snoring is more than a nuisance — it can be a sign of a partially obstructed airway and may indicate underlying sleep apnea. Even when sleep apnea is not present, loud snoring disrupts sleep for both you and your partner. An oral appliance can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring by keeping the airway open throughout the night. For patients with primary snoring — snoring without sleep apnea — we also offer QuietNite laser treatment at our McKinney location.

Improves sleep quality for you and your partner

QuietNite Laser Treatment for Primary Snoring

For patients whose snoring is not caused by obstructive sleep apnea — known as primary snoring — we offer QuietNite laser treatment at our McKinney office. This non-invasive, in-office laser procedure gently tightens the soft tissues of the palate and throat, reducing the vibration that causes snoring. There are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime.

QuietNite is a comfortable, quick treatment that many patients find effective after just a few sessions. If you or your partner has been losing sleep over chronic snoring and sleep apnea has been ruled out, this may be the solution you have been looking for.
