Services
Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom-fitted oral appliances reposition the jaw to keep airways open during sleep. These portable, comfortable devices treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea when CPAP is unsuitable. Patients experience improved breathing patterns and reduced daytime fatigue through personalized fittings and follow-up adjustments.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Comprehensive treatment plans address mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea using advanced dental technology. We collaborate with sleep labs to interpret studies and recommend tailored interventions, including SomnoDent Avant appliances. Our approach prioritizes patient comfort while maintaining treatment efficacy through regular progress monitoring.
Snoring Solutions
Targeted therapies reduce or eliminate snoring caused by airway obstructions. We identify anatomical factors contributing to snoring and implement non-invasive solutions like Panthera DSAD devices. Treatment improves sleep quality for both patients and partners while addressing potential underlying health risks.
Dental Consultations
In-depth consultations evaluate patients' suitability for oral appliance therapy. We review medical history, sleep studies, and conduct oral examinations to determine optimal treatment paths. Patients receive detailed explanations of options, success rates, and potential side effects during these sessions.
Sleep Disorder Evaluation
We assess symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing through clinical evaluations and diagnostic referrals. Our team interprets polysomnogram results to identify severity levels and recommend appropriate interventions. This process ensures accurate diagnosis before initiating any treatment protocols.
