OUR PROCESS
1. Screening & Initial Exam
Before your initial appointment; Dr. Prabhavathi will review your most recent sleep study and begin coordinating care with your medical team to treat your sleep condition. Your first visit with our team includes: a thorough dental exam, TMJ and airway assessment, imaging, and review of alternative therapies. We will discuss the benefits and possible side effects of treatment with an oral appliance. Good dental health is critical to support the dental device.
2. Impressions & Digital Scans
Final appliance selection, dental impressions, digital scans, and bite position records will be completed at your second appointment. We then send the information to a certified dental laboratory to make a custom fit FDA approved dental appliance. It is best to receive care from a dentist who has had specific training in dental sleep medicine or is a Qualified Dentist or Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.

I'm the type of person who loves to laugh and joke and smile but every time I opened my mouth the first thing you would see is crooked cavity filled front teeth. In under 2 hours she completely transformed me! I love her and recommend her to everyone! Now I can finally be proud of my smile."
