Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Jason, the question is whether you''''''''ve had a sleep study done to rule out sleep apnea. This must be done first. If it''''s determined you have no apnea, then a repositioning appliance can be made for you to open the airway. I hope this helps!

Hi Jason,A high percentage of people who snore, suffer from a condition called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can lead to stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, GERD and others. Sleep apnea is a medical condition that must be diagnosed by a physician and treated.Are you sleepy during the day? do you need to take a nap in the afternoon? do you feel refreshed when you wake up in the morning?do you fall sleep when at a traffic light? do you fall sleep when watching television? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions you may have sleep apnea. I am a member of Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and have special training to treat snoring and sleep apnea using oral appliances (Mandibular advancement device). It will treat both snoring and sleep apnea. I treat patients with this condition.you need to contact your physician and explain your condition and get a sleep study. If you dont have a physician we can refer you to one. once diagnosed I can fabricate an appliance for you. We use several FDA approved appliances that can treat snoring an apnea. TAP 3 is one of them. Not all appliances are appropriate for all individuals. you need to be evaluated by a dentist who is trained and is experienced in this field so that a proper appliance that fits you and your specific condition can be made. Once diagnosed by a physician most medical insurances will cover some or all of the cost of the appliance. more info go to my web site www.apneadds.com; call us for a free consult.
