Woodpoint Dental – Plainview, NY

Dr. Frank Peritore, DDS provides treatment for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea using an FDA approved, custom fitted oral appliance. The device works by positioning the lower jaw forward during sleep, keeping the airway open. It fits in the palm of your hand, requires no electricity, wires or tubes and is easily packed into luggage for travel.

How it works:

1. Schedule a screening at our office
2. If the screening indicates you are at risk for OSA, we will arrange a Home Sleep Test
3. Sleep in your own bed while the device monitors your sleep
4. Results from the test are downloaded and sent to a board-certified Sleep Physician for review and diagnosis
5. If the physician recommends Oral Appliance Therapy, we will take impressions of your teeth and create a custom device for you
6. After the device is made, it may require adjustments to ensure optimal airflow
7. A follow up home sleep test is used to verify the device is working as intended
