Sleep Better Columbus

Sleep Better Columbus is a dedicated dental sleep medicine clinic located in Columbus, Ohio. The clinic focuses on providing effective, non-invasive solutions for sleep-disordered breathing, primarily obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. Their core specialization lies in offering custom-fitted oral appliances as an alternative to traditional Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines, which many patients find uncomfortable or difficult to use. The practice is led by Dr. Mark Levy, a highly experienced sleep apnea specialist in Central Ohio who has been utilizing oral appliance therapy since 2005. Dr. Levy is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) and the Academy of Clinical Sleep Disorders Disciplines, demonstrating his commitment to the field through hundreds of hours of continuing education. The team at Sleep Better Columbus also includes Dr. Dawne Slabach, who shares a passion for treating TMJ disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, and orthodontics. Sleep Better Columbus aims to improve patients' quality of life by addressing the root causes of sleep issues. Their treatment approach involves a personalized consultation, often followed by the recommendation and fitting of a custom oral appliance. These devices work by gently repositioning the lower jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and breathing disruptions. The clinic emphasizes a compassionate and comprehensive approach to patient care, accepting referrals from a wide range of healthcare professionals including general practitioners, primary care doctors, cardiologists, pulmonologists, ENTs, and other dentists. They also offer direct billing to medical insurance and Medicare. Patients frequently praise the clinic for its friendly and knowledgeable staff, professional service, and the life-changing results achieved with oral appliance therapy, especially for those who struggled with CPAP. Beyond treatment, Sleep Better Columbus also provides educational resources on topics related to sleep apnea, such as the connection between TMJ disorders and sleep-disordered breathing, bruxism (teeth grinding) as a symptom, and the health effects of untreated sleep apnea. Their commitment is to help patients achieve restful, rejuvenating sleep and mitigate associated health risks.
