Dental Sleep Medicine and Apnea
Dental sleep medicine is an area of dentistry that focuses on using oral appliance therapy to treat sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dentists work together with physicians to identify the best treatment for each patient. At our practice, we can perform a screening exam to evaluate your if an oral appliance is right for you. Continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) remains the gold standard for treatment of sleep disordered breathing, but an oral appliance is an option for patients who are unable to tolerate their CPAP machine. The oral appliance is also an alternative for patients who travel, due to its much smaller size and ease of use.
