Smiles by Choice offers a convenient at-home sleep study in St. Louis, with care rooted in personal relationships and a calm, supportive experience. Quality sleep supports your health, focus, and energy. When sleep issues go undiagnosed, the effects can build over time. If you live in Maryland Heights or nearby St. Louis neighborhoods, you can take the first step toward better sleep without spending the night in a lab.
An at-home sleep study helps identify sleep-related breathing problems like obstructive sleep apnea. Many people put off testing because traditional sleep labs feel intimidating or inconvenient. Home testing makes it easier to follow through, since you sleep in your own bed and keep your normal routine.
At Smiles by Choice, you get guidance from a friendly, professional team that respects your time and keeps the process simple from start to finish.
Home sleep testing can be a fit for adults who have signs of sleep-disordered breathing and want treatment for better rest. Common signs of a sleep disorder include loud snoring, waking up tired, and daytime sleepiness that makes work and life harder.
A sleep study can also be helpful if you have been told you stop breathing during sleep, or you wake up gasping or with headaches. If you are unsure, we can point you in the right direction and help you understand your options.
Your home sleep study collects key information that helps a physician evaluate your sleep patterns and breathing. It may track:
This information helps the physician determine whether sleep apnea or another sleep-related condition is present, and what level of care you may need next.
You should never feel like you are figuring this out on your own. Our team walks you through each step so you feel confident using the device and returning it correctly.
Your at-home study uses a Nox Medical Type III home sleep testing device designed to track key breathing and oxygen metrics. A sleep physician reviews the results and provides an official diagnosis.
Here is the typical flow:
Once the sleep physician provides an official diagnosis, we help you understand what it means and what to do next.
We work directly with a physician who will analyze your sleep study and provide an official diagnosis. Then, we work with you to recommend a customized treatment plan based on your unique diagnosis and lifestyle needs. Your path to better sleep may include one or more proven treatment methods.
For sleep apnea, we offer custom-fitted oral appliances that comfortably position your jaw to maintain open airways during sleep. These devices provide an excellent alternative for patients who find CPAP therapy challenging. When CPAP therapy is the best choice, we coordinate with trusted providers to ensure you receive the right equipment and proper fitting.
Beyond primary treatments, we may recommend sleep medication for specific conditions, lifestyle adjustments, or stress management techniques. Some patients benefit from combination therapy, using both an oral appliance and CPAP to achieve optimal results.
Our team monitors your progress through regular follow-up appointments, making adjustments to ensure your treatment remains effective. We focus on finding solutions that work with your lifestyle while delivering the restorative sleep you need.
Care feels different when the relationship comes first. At Smiles by Choice, you are not a number on a schedule. You are treated like family, with a team that values comfort, clear communication, and on-time appointments.
You also get a higher level of expertise for sleep-related care in a dental setting, with a focus on personalized solutions rather than quick fixes.
