What makes us different
CPAP Referrals
A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is one of the most common and effective methods for treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It keeps your airway open during the night by delivering a continuous supply of air through your mouth and nose. We work with a network of trusted specialists for those who can benefit from CPAP therapy.
ProSomnus EVO Sleep Appliances
Similar to a mouthguard or retainer, a sleep appliance is a device that is designed to keep the airway open by moving the jaw forward or keeping the tongue in place throughout the night. The ProSomnus EVO system offers the most comfortable sleep appliance available – custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth and reposition your jaw for restful sleep.
Sleep Specialists
We work with sleep specialists to diagnose patients with OSA. There are several types of studies they can perform, including polysomnography, in which the team will monitor your sleep while you are hooked up to specialized equipment. In some cases, this can be done at home.
