Welcome to Dental Sleep Providers
In our dental practice, Dr. Daar and Associates screen all patients for possible harmful sleep issues. Patients that have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea are referred back to our office , if the sleep doctor has determined that an oral appliance may be helpful. We also receive referrals for patients that are unable to use their prescribed CPAP machine to control their issues. An oral device alone or in combination with a positive air pressure often is successful. Many patients that are tested actually simply have a snoring issue and no other medical factors. For those patients, we can make a snoring appliance.
We help determine the proper medical device for your individual needs. Using the latest technology, we fit you with a mouth guard proven to be effective. We provide these services after you have been diagnosed by a professional medical doctor who informs us of your status. We do not do sleep testing. Many people that snore may have an underlying disease such as insomnia or Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea is closely related to heart disease, high blood pressure, and many other serious medical issues. It is the job of a qualified sleep doctor to determine your health status. Prior to making any appliance, even a snore guard, we want to make sure that we are not neglecting a health issue and risking your life. Sleep Apnea is a serious disorder!! We do screen patients that have not yet been diagnosed, and work closely with the best sleep doctors in the area.
There are many devices that can be utilized and we work closely with the manufacturers.
