Treating Snoring and Sleep Apnea Patients without CPAP. My professional passion is treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring problems. Advances in dental sleep medicine allow these patients to finally get a restful nights sleep without the use of CPAP therapy. With a CPAP failure rate of ~50%, dental sleep medicine has emerged as an effective alternative to CPAP in most cases. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is one of the greatest public health issues we face as a nation. Untreated OSA patients die on average 18 years younger than healthy patients due to the devastating comorbidities of OSA. There is nothing more rewarding than helping a patient break through the fog and fatigue of OSA and return to health and wellness.
