Consultation for Sleep Apnea & Snoring Device or Mouthpiece

We offer sleep apnea and snoring mouthpiece consultations so that our patients can explore all available treatments for their sleep apnea. There are many kinds of sleep apnea oral appliances to choose from. Some are FDA approved, while others are more of snore guards. Therefore, we think it is prudent to take the time to explore and understand the options. While our doctor, like others, has her preferred oral appliance, we have worked with almost all of the FDA-approved sleep solutions over the years and can share our feedback with you.

Our patients range from long-term CPAP users looking for alternative treatment for their sleep apnea to people wondering why they are so tired during the day - even after a “good night's sleep.”

What happens during a sleep apnea consultation?

Your first visit is as important for you as it is for us. Our main concern is that you are able to treat your sleep apnea or snoring as effectively as possible. That means while you are learning about sleep apnea devices and dental mouthpieces, we will be evaluating you for their effectiveness. We will look at the results of your sleep test (if you had one), take some measurements, look at your teeth and gums, and ask you a series of questions about your health, lifestyle, and sleep patterns.

Once we have done an initial sleep apnea exam and oral exam, we can show you some examples of apnea and snore mouthpieces, as well as some more information on other apnea and snore solutions and treatment. Our goal is to have you leave our office with a better understanding of sleep apnea treatment other than CPAP machines.

Medical insurance and sleep apnea treatment

If you are interested in sleep apnea devices for treating your apnea or snoring, we will take a copy of your medical insurance card and get your primary care doctor’s contact information. Unfortunately, dental insurance rarely covers sleep apnea treatment. The good news is that medical insurance almost always covers some or all of sleep apnea devices. Sometimes they even cover snore stop and other snore cure devices, especially when the patient has signs of sleep apnea along with their snoring. But don’t worry about that, we’ll walk you through the insurance process.
