Earl K Bogrow & Associates

Earl K Bogrow & Associates, widely known as the Michigan Sleep Apnea Center, is a highly specialized dental clinic located in Southfield, Michigan. The practice is exclusively dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) through the use of oral appliance therapy. At the helm of the clinic is Dr. Earl K. Bogrow, a distinguished Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (D-ABDSM) and a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). Dr. Bogrow has an extensive background in dentistry, having graduated from the University of Michigan Dental School in 1979 and maintaining a private general dentistry practice in Southfield since 1981. In 2013, he made the significant decision to dedicate his practice solely to dental sleep medicine, driven by his personal experience as a sleep apnea sufferer and his belief in the efficacy and comfort of oral appliance therapy as an alternative to CPAP. The Michigan Sleep Apnea Center offers a non-surgical solution for patients who struggle with snoring and sleep apnea. They focus on providing custom-fitted oral appliances, which are designed to reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. The clinic emphasizes a patient-first philosophy, understanding that each individual's needs are unique. They offer complimentary initial consultations to assess if a patient is a suitable candidate for oral appliance therapy. Dr. Bogrow is not only a seasoned practitioner but also an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Dentistry at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, where he teaches dental sleep medicine. This connection to academia ensures that the clinic stays at the forefront of the latest research and treatment protocols in the field. The clinic prides itself on a high success rate and compliance rate with oral appliance therapy, contrasting it with the often-cited lower compliance rates of CPAP machines. The team, including Certified Dental Assistant Barbara Ingraham, is knowledgeable in all aspects of dental sleep medicine, assisting patients with both clinical procedures and navigating medical insurance benefits. The clinic is in-network with most medical insurance plans, including Medicare, recognizing that oral appliances for sleep apnea are typically covered as a medical benefit. Patients often praise the personalized care, comfortable solutions, and positive results in their reviews, highlighting improved sleep quality and overall well-being.
