Sleep Apnea Dental Center

Sleep Apnea Dental Center is a dedicated dental practice specializing in the field of Dental Sleep Medicine, serving the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, including Moon Township, Cranberry Township, and Monroeville, PA. Their core mission is to provide effective, non-invasive solutions for individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), chronic snoring, teeth grinding, TMJ pain, and other sleep-disordered breathing issues. The center distinguishes itself through its team of highly experienced and extensively trained doctors, many of whom are certified Diplomates of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine. This prestigious credential signifies a high level of expertise in treating sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy. Some specialists also hold diplomate status with the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine and fellowships from other esteemed organizations. Sleep Apnea Dental Center primarily focuses on Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), offering a comfortable and portable alternative to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, which many patients find difficult to tolerate. These custom-made oral appliances work by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, thereby reducing or eliminating the episodes of apnea and hypopnea. They offer various types of appliances, tailored to each patient's specific needs, including solutions for clenching, grinding, and TMJ pain. The patient experience at Sleep Apnea Dental Center is designed to be comprehensive and supportive. They work closely with sleep physicians to ensure accurate diagnosis, often recommending sleep studies. They are in-network with most major insurance providers, including Blue Cross, Aetna, Tricare, Cigna, Medicare, and UPMC, and also offer financing options like CareCredit to make quality care accessible. With a long-standing presence in the community and a track record of successfully treating thousands of patients, Sleep Apnea Dental Center is recognized for its commitment to patient well-being and its ability to significantly improve sleep quality and overall health.
