Dental Sleep Medicine

Oral appliance therapy, explained plainly

What does a sleep apnea dentist do? A dentist trained in dental sleep medicine fits a custom appliance that gently holds the jaw forward during sleep, keeping the airway open — and adjusts it until it works for you.

Clinical guidance from the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine supports appliance therapy as an effective alternative to CPAP for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea — and for people who can't tolerate a machine. Dr. Perkins' practice fits each device to your anatomy and coordinates with your physician, so dental and medical care stay connected.

  • Custom-fit to your anatomy — never a boil-and-bite
  • Quiet, pocket-sized, and easy to travel with
  • Coordinated with your physician from start to follow-up

Do I need a sleep study before reaching out?

Not to start the conversation. To fit oral appliance therapy, the care team typically works from a confirmed diagnosis — if you have a sleep study, bring it; if not, your consultation can outline the path to one.

Can a dentist diagnose sleep apnea?

Diagnosis belongs to the physician, and is usually informed by a sleep study. The dentist's role is treatment: fitting the appliance, adjusting it, and tracking progress alongside your medical care. That division of labor is part of why coordinated care works.

I travel constantly. Is an oral appliance practical?

It's one of the settings where appliance therapy tends to shine — quiet, pocket-sized, no power outlet required. Tell the practice how you travel and your appliance plan can be built around it.
