Sleep Apnea Treatment
Our sleep apnea treatment utilizes custom oral appliances as effective alternatives to CPAP machines. These FDA-approved devices reposition the jaw to maintain open airways during sleep, addressing obstructive sleep apnea without invasive procedures. Patients experience improved oxygen levels, reduced apnea events, and enhanced sleep quality through personalized therapy plans developed by our board-certified dental sleep specialists.
TMJ Therapy
We specialize in non-surgical TMJ disorder treatment targeting craniofacial pain and jaw dysfunction. Our approach combines diagnostic imaging with customized oral appliances to alleviate symptoms like headaches, ear pain, and jaw locking. Treatment focuses on restoring proper jaw alignment and muscle function through conservative, evidence-based protocols developed through decades of clinical experience.
Oral Appliance Therapy
Our oral appliance therapy provides tailored solutions for sleep-disordered breathing and TMJ issues. Each device is precision-fitted using advanced dental modeling to ensure comfort and effectiveness. These removable appliances address snoring, sleep apnea, and bruxism while allowing natural jaw movement, offering a discreet alternative to traditional sleep therapy equipment.

Questions
Does insurance cover sleep apnea treatment?
Most medical insurance plans cover diagnostic evaluations and oral appliance therapy when medically necessary. We work with Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and VA benefits to maximize patient coverage.
Are non-surgical TMJ treatments available?
We specialize in non-surgical TMJ therapy using customized oral appliances and conservative treatment protocols to resolve craniofacial pain without invasive procedures.
Can oral appliances replace CPAP machines?
Custom oral appliances effectively treat obstructive sleep apnea for CPAP-intolerant patients by maintaining airway patency through mandibular repositioning, offering a comfortable alternative to traditional therapy.
How are TMJ and ear pain related?
TMJ dysfunction frequently causes ear pain due to the joint's proximity to auditory structures. Our specialists address this connection through targeted craniofacial pain management techniques.
What sleep apnea treatment options exist for children?
While primarily serving adults, we collaborate with pediatric specialists to address sleep apnea in children through appropriate diagnostic evaluations and multidisciplinary treatment approaches.

This office needs to be investigated for unethical (possibly illegal) billing practices. Rose Mary in the billing department has refused to return my calls or emails, after double billing myself and my insurance! The gals in the SLC office pretend to know nothing regarding billing, until you start questioning things. Then all of a sudden they know exactly how it should be charged. I was told I had self bill my insurance, but in doing so they would charge me a higher cost than someone who was paying cash.

However if I am self-billing my insurance then as far their office is concerned I am paying them cash! So I paid the higher cash price to submit to my own insurance for reimbursement only to find out they actually billed my insurance as well and now have my money that I paid as well as the money from insurance. I have not received a call or email for over 3 months. Spoke to my referring dentist and he was appalled and will no longer be referring here.

Great Listeners - So good at listening! I couldn't believe how well everyone heard and clarified my discussion. Seriously! If you want to be heard, and have a successful result - this is the place. The receptionist/assistants/administrators are all exemplary people, in their positions. I arrived with a dislocated jaw - popped behind the cartilage. Couldn't open my mouth or chew my food. My noshing has returned in full force!

Was referred by my primary care doctor after having chronic headaches and jaw pain. Very impressed with the huge difference wearing my sleep appliance has made in a relatively short amount of time. Everyone at the office was friendly and professional- they all seemed to genuinely care about my issues.
