Dr. First is proud to be a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine (ABDSM), a distinction held by fewer than 1,100 dentists nationwide. This certification reflects her advanced training and demonstrated expertise in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, using oral appliance therapy. Recognized as the gold standard in dental sleep medicine, ABDSM Diplomate status assures patients they are receiving care that meets the highest standards of safety, effectiveness, and professional excellence.
At Smiles by Choice, we understand that quality sleep is essential for your overall health and daily function. Not enough sleep, especially when caused by an underlying sleep problem, can lead to serious health problems down the road. So, it’s best to get a professional sleep study to diagnose any issue.
A professional at-home sleep study provides comprehensive diagnostic insights that can dramatically improve your sleep quality and, by extension, your quality of life.
Your at-home sleep study will help evaluate several critical aspects of your sleep patterns:
This detailed analysis helps our referring physician identify specific sleep disorders that may be affecting your health, including:
Understanding your sleep patterns through a clinical study is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan. Many of our patients report significant improvements in their daily lives after receiving proper diagnosis and treatment, including enhanced daytime alertness and concentration with no more excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced cardiovascular health risks, improved emotional well-being, better work performance, decreased morning headaches, and normalized blood pressure levels.
The data collected during your sleep study allows the referring physician we work with develop a personalized treatment strategy that addresses your specific sleep challenges. Whether through CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy, oral appliances, or lifestyle modifications, we’re committed to finding the most effective solution for your unique situation.
We understand the importance of a good night’s rest in maintaining optimal health and vitality. That’s why we offer comprehensive sleep solutions, including at-home sleep studies using state-of-the-art technology.
At Smiles by Choice, we bring the convenience and comfort of sleep studies to your own home. Our at-home sleep studies utilize the Nox MEDICAL Type III Home Sleep Testing diagnostic device, which is meticulously designed for accurate readings. These studies are then interpreted by a certified sleep physician, ensuring precise analysis and personalized recommendations.
Our at-home sleep studies are perfect for individuals who struggle to sleep in unfamiliar environments, providing a comfortable and familiar setting for accurate results. Whether you’re experiencing sleep apnea, snoring, or other sleep-related issues, our sleep solutions cater to your unique needs.
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.
Don’t let poor sleep continue to impact your daily life and long-term health. At Smiles by Choice in St. Louis, MO, we’re committed to helping you achieve the quality rest you deserve through our convenient sleep study in St. Louis, MO program.
