The way you breathe while you sleep affects your teeth, your jaw, and your overall health. We screen for these connections and provide comfortable, custom solutions that help protect your teeth and support better sleep.

Common Questions
Common Questions About Sleep Apnea Treatment,
For mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance can be a highly effective alternative — especially for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP. We coordinate with your physician or sleep specialist to determine the right approach.
An over-the-counter guard only protects teeth from grinding. A custom oral appliance is precisely fitted to your anatomy and designed to support your airway and jaw position during sleep.
Many medical plans provide coverage for oral appliance therapy when sleep apnea is diagnosed. We can help you understand your options before treatment begins.
If you snore, wake unrested, grind your teeth, or have been told you stop breathing during sleep, an airway screening is a simple first step toward understanding what is happening.
