The benefits of providing oral appliance therapy for snoring and sleep apnoea

1. You can significantly increase your revenue treating existing patients without spending a cent on marketing.  My experience and published studies* demonstrate that over 40% of adult dental patients have problematic snoring with a significant proportion also having sleep apnoea. With state-of-the-art screening, and a simple method of diagnosing your patients, you can expect to be fitting three or more appliances a week. This can equate to $400,000 in additional revenue per year.

2. You will have many grateful patients by providing this valuable and often life changing treatment. You will also attract many new patients whose friends and family can become good long term patients of the practice.

3. While clinical dentistry is often tough on the body, dental sleep medicine is enjoyable and not physically demanding.
