A Clear Path From Symptoms to Treatment
Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a qualified medical provider. Restful Sleep Center focuses on the dental treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and can help coordinate the steps that come before oral appliance therapy.
1. Talk With Us
Tell us about your symptoms, concerns, and any testing you may already have completed. We will help clarify the appropriate next step.
2. Complete an Evaluation
A medical provider determines whether testing is appropriate and establishes the OSA diagnosis. Modern home sleep apnea tests offer a convenient alternative to an in-lab study for selected adults; the physician interprets results in the context of the full evaluation. We can help you connect with an appropriate medical testing pathway. Testing may sometimes be completed at home when clinically appropriate. Learn what home sleep testing involves.
3. Review Your Options
Once a diagnosis and prescription are established, we can evaluate whether a custom oral appliance may be an appropriate treatment option for you.
What a Sleep Evaluation Can Clarify
- Whether your symptoms may be related to obstructive sleep apnea
- The type and severity of sleep-disordered breathing
- Which treatment approaches should be considered
- Whether oral appliance therapy may be clinically appropriate
A sleep test result is interpreted within the context of your health history and symptoms. Your medical provider remains responsible for diagnosis and medical treatment recommendations.
