Detailed Introduction
Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine (PDSM) is a highly regarded and nationally accredited dental practice dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, with a primary focus on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring. The practice was co-founded in 2006 by Dr. Robert R. Rogers III, DMD, DABDSM, and Mary Beth Rogers. Dr. Rogers is a prominent figure and pioneer in the field of dental sleep medicine, having been the founding president of the Sleep Disorders Dental Society (now the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine - AADSM) and playing a crucial role in developing the medical and dental protocols for oral appliance therapy.
PDSM specializes in providing Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) as a non-invasive and often preferred alternative to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines for patients who struggle with CPAP intolerance or seek a different approach. These custom-made oral appliances are designed to reposition the jaw slightly during sleep, keeping the airway open and facilitating easier breathing. The practice boasts an impressive track record, having successfully treated over 19,000 patients for sleep apnea, snoring, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
The team at Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine is comprised of highly experienced dentists, all of whom are Diplomates of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine. This signifies their advanced training and expertise in this specialized area of dentistry. Some providers also hold diplomate status with the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine and fellowships with various prestigious organizations, including the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, and the Academy of Dentistry.
PDSM emphasizes a patient-centered approach, tailoring treatment plans to individual needs and ensuring comfort throughout the process. They utilize advanced technology, such as oral scanners, to create precise 3D scans for custom appliance fabrication, eliminating the need for traditional, often uncomfortable, impressions. The practice also works in close collaboration with certified medical sleep physicians and sleep centers to ensure comprehensive and integrated care for their patients.
With administrative offices in Wexford, PA, Pittsburgh Dental Sleep Medicine serves the tri-state area of Western Pennsylvania, with additional clinical locations in Monroeville, McMurray, and Harrisburg, PA. They are committed to making quality care accessible, proudly accepting most major medical insurance providers, including Blue Cross, Aetna, Tricare, Cigna, Medicare, and UPMC. PDSM's dedication to exceptional healthcare has earned them the prestigious Exemplary Provider Award Certification of Accreditation from The Compliance Team™.
