What is Sleep Dentistry?

Sleep Dentistry, or Dental Sleep Medicine, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related breathing conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Rather than relying only on bulky CPAP machines, Dr. Pandya provides custom oral appliance therapy which is a comfortable and effective alternative that helps support healthier airflow throughout the night.

Benefits of oral appliance therapy include:

Oral appliance therapy may help patients:

  • Naturally open the airway
  • Reduce chronic snoring and nighttime breathing interruptions
  • Improve sleep quality and daytime energy3
  • Avoid surgery or continuous CPAP use (when appropriate)

  • Loud, frequent snoring

  • Daytime fatigue, irritability, or difficulty concentrating
