Our approach to treating sleep apnea involves using an FDA-approved oral appliance, tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

This device functions by gently moving the lower jaw forward during sleep, ensuring the airway remains open. It conveniently fits in the palm of your hand, operates without the need for electricity, wires, or tubes, and is easily portable, making it ideal for travel purposes.

Treatment:

• During your initial visit, we will schedule a screening and a home sleep test.
• The results of the home sleep test will be thoroughly reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician, who will provide a diagnosis and recommend suitable therapy.
• You will receive a custom-made oral appliance that perfectly suits your needs.
• Enjoy the convenience of easy follow-up maintenance once or twice a year to ensure continued comfort and success.

Oral Appliance Therapy is not suitable for every individual, making it essential to consult a qualified physician who will review the home sleep test results and make an accurate diagnosis. It’s important not to confuse OAT with a drugstore snoreguard, as the latter is not FDA cleared for OSA treatment. Attempting to treat OSA with an unapproved device without the supervision of a trained professional could worsen the condition, potentially leading to serious complications. Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.

OSA is a medical condition, and its treatment is typically covered under medical insurance rather than dental insurance, despite being delivered by a dentist. As a courtesy, we will assist you in verifying and filing your claim with your medical insurance carrier. However, please note that the verification process provides an explanation of benefits based on the information received from your insurance carrier and does not guarantee payment. To confirm the specific benefits for Oral Appliance Therapy under your policy, we recommend contacting your insurance carrier directly.
