Our goal is to improve your quality of life, by providing the highest level of patient care through oral appliance therapy.
Chronic sleep conditions like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can cause a lot more than just noise. Both disorders can have a negative impact on your sleeping and breathing patterns, which can leave you oxygen and sleep-deprived over time. With our extensive experience treating sleep disorders, we can help you overcome this impact by custom-designing an appropriate sleep appliance to address the causes of your snoring or sleep apnea. With the right appliance, we can help you sleep peacefully again and regain the higher quality of life you deserve.
Some patients may have difficulty sleeping with a CPAP machine. We provide our patients with a Mandibular Advancement Device (a mouthpiece) which has an 80% compliance rate. Most patients can comfortably wear our appliances without difficulty.” Most health insurances cover this therapy, which makes it very affordable for our patients. We will handle your insurance filing for you.
A mandibular advancement device is a customized oral appliance that moves and holds the lower jaw in a more forward position, preventing it from collapsing back and obstructing the airway during sleep.
The common symptoms of sleep apnea might not be obvious at first, but before long, the effects on your daily life can become hard to ignore. If you snore constantly or think you may have sleep apnea, then contact us today to ask about undergoing a sleep assessment!
