SLEEP APNEA
A SIMPLER APPROACH TO BETTER SLEEP
Sleep Testing.
Simplified.
From Testing to Treatment.. all right here.
We've made getting answers about your sleep health as simple and comfortable as possible.
Our team coordinates a minimally invasive at-home sleep test that allows you to sleep in your own bed... without an overnight hospital sleep study or bulky traditional sleep-lab equipment.
Once your results are evaluated and treatment is appropriate, HE Dental partners with ProSomnus Sleep Technologies to provide a custom precision oral appliance designed specifically for you. ProSomnus offers a compact, non-CPAP approach without masks or hoses.
your mouth can tell us more than you think.
Dentists are uniquely positioned to notice signs that may indicate an increased risk for sleep related breathing disorders. In 2019, the American Dental Association adopted a policy encouraging dentists to include screenings for these conditions as part of a comprehensive medical and dental history.

At HE Dental, airway health has become an important part of how we look at the whole patient.. not just their teeth.

when your airway closes, your sleep suffers.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep-related breathing disorder. During sleep, the tongue, soft palate and surrounding tissues can repeatedly collapse into the upper airway, restricting airflow and disrupting normal breathing.
​
These repeated interruptions can affect oxygen levels, sleep quality and overall health... which is why recognizing the signs and getting an appropriate diagnosis matters.
Sleep is more than rest. It's part of your overall health.
