Dental Treatment for
Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea is an epidemic affecting millions, are you one of them?
Do you wake up feeling tired? If so, you may suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder marked by an interruption of breathing throughout the sleep cycle. Common symptoms of sleep apnea include:
Daytime Sleepiness
Depression
Feeling irritable
Night sweats
Dry mouth or sore throat in the morning
Snoring
Forgetfulness
Headaches in the morning
Gasping for Air
Difficulty concentrating
Restless sleep
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders affect an estimated 20-30% of Americans. Many of these conditions can be life threatening if left untreated, yet they often go undiagnosed. Most people don’t even know they suffer from these conditions, or the very real dangers they live with.
Good sleep is vital to health, yet millions are deprived, their sleep cycles interrupted by their body waking up to breathe.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing disorders are a widespread problem affecting an estimated 20-30% of Americans1. Many of these conditions can be life threatening if not treated, yet often go undiagnosed. Most people don’t even know they suffer from these conditions, or the very real dangers they live with. Good sleep is vital to health, yet millions are deprived of sleep, their sleep cycles interrupted by their body waking up to breathe.
How it works:
Schedule a screening at our office by filling out the form on the right
If the screening indicates you are at risk for OSA, we will arrange a Home Sleep Test
Sleep in your own bed while the device monitors your sleep
Results from the test are downloaded and sent to a board-certified Sleep Physician for review and diagnosis
If the physician recommends Oral Appliance Therapy, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a custom device for you
After the device is made, it may require adjustments to ensure optimal airflow
A follow up home sleep test is used to verify the device is working as intended
OSA is a medical condition, which means that it is covered under medical insurance, not dental insurance even though treatment is delivered by a dentist. As a courtesy, we will verify and file your claim with your medical insurance carrier; however, verification is only an explanation of benefits based upon information that we received from your insurance carrier. It is not a guarantee of payment. Please contact your insurance carrier directly to confirm your individual benefits for Oral Appliance Therapy.
