Comfort and stability of the device play a pivotal role in successful treatment. Clinical studies have demonstrated that custom-fitted devices far outperform inexpensive, "one-size-fits-all" alternatives available online or over the counter. Given that you'll be using your device nightly for an extended period, it's essential to ensure its precise fit and effectiveness in facilitating restful sleep.

We work with financing providers to offer payment plans to cover either all or part of your procedure.

The coverage of your oral appliance can vary depending on your medical insurance and whether Dr. Samant is part of your insurance network. During our initial consultation, we will discuss and determine the specifics of your health plan, including its coverage and potential out-of-pocket costs. This consultation aims to provide you with a clearer understanding of your financial responsibilities and ensure that there are no unexpected surprises. We are here to guide you through every step of the process, making it as straightforward and worry-free as possible.

Our oral sleep appliance addresses obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by promoting forward movement of the lower jaw, thus maintaining open airways. The device, tailor-made for your mouth, features upper and lower splints that snugly fit over your teeth. Over the course of your treatment, these will be adjusted to gradually advance your lower jaw. This forward movement of the jaw aids in keeping your airway open, facilitating easier breathing and enabling more extended periods of comfortable sleep. Hence, it plays a crucial role in helping you attain a more restful night's sleep.

We recommended special tablets for the gentle and thorough cleaning of your device. They are available for purchase in a box of 30 tablets.

Most patients swiftly acclimate to wearing an oral device during sleep. Over a short duration, it becomes an integral part of their nightly routine. Many individuals find it difficult to sleep without the device once they experience the refreshing feeling in the morning (and notice the improved sleep quality of their bed partners as well).

The adherence rates for dental sleep therapy surpass those of other non-surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. In simpler terms, patients are more likely to successfully use and benefit from an oral device compared to other treatment options.
