At Associates for Dental Sleep Medicine (ADSM), our primary service is helping patients find relief from Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) through advanced, patient-centered treatment options. We specialize in Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), a comfortable, effective alternative to CPAP for many patients. Our focus is not on diagnosis – we work in collaboration with physicians who are board-certified in sleep medicine to ensure patients receive accurate testing and referrals before beginning treatment.
Oral appliance therapy is our primary treatment for patients struggling with snoring or sleep apnea. These custom-made devices gently reposition the jaw to keep the airway open while you sleep, offering a small, comfortable, and easy-to-wear alternative to CPAP machines. Quiet and travel-friendly, they fit seamlessly into daily life, helping many patients enjoy better rest without the hassle of bulky equipment. With a referral from your physician, we can provide this effective solution to improve sleep quality, restore energy, and support overall health.
