Understanding sleep apnea and its treatments
The silent disruptor of restful sleep

What to expect during sleep apnea treatment
Here’s what you can expect from our sleep apnea screening and treatment process:
- Screening for sleep apnea events: We’ll perform an initial screening to identify signs of sleep apnea and, if necessary, refer you for a diagnostic test.
- Referral for diagnosis: If sleep apnea is detected, we’ll refer you to your primary care provider or one of our trusted telehealth care providers for a full sleep study. Most patients can complete a home sleep study in the comfort of their bed.
- Custom appliances: We provide custom-fabricated oral appliances to help manage obstructive sleep apnea and improve your sleep.
