Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dental Sleep Medicine?
Dental Sleep Medicine is a specialized area of dentistry that focuses on the management of sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, using oral appliance therapy. These custom-made devices help maintain an open, unobstructed airway during sleep.
How do oral appliances work for sleep apnea?
Oral appliances, often resembling a mouthguard, work by repositioning the lower jaw and/or tongue to prevent the collapse of soft tissues in the throat, keeping the airway open during sleep. This helps reduce or eliminate snoring and sleep apnea events.
Do you accept insurance for sleep apnea treatment?
Yes, Pennsylvania Dental Sleep Medicine accepts most insurance providers, including medical insurance and Medicare, for dental sleep medicine treatments. It is recommended to contact the office directly to verify your specific coverage and benefits.
