Dental Sleep Medicine

dental sleep medicineTHERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE CPAP MACHINE FOR SLEEP APNEA:
ORAL APPLIANCES!

Dr. Sheren developed a special interest in helping patients with sleep apnea after he was diagnosed with the condition. His goal is to help improve the health and quality of life of others with sleep apnea. His special skills with dental sleep medicine help patients that can’t use CPAP therapy effectively get fitted with an oral appliance.

An oral appliance can keep your airway open while sleeping, stabilizing your jaw and tongue so they don’t fall back during sleep, thus allowing better airflow.
