Choosing a Sleep Medicine Dentist
for Snoring & Sleep Apnoea
Not all dental sleep medicine is created equal.
Choosing the right dentist for your oral appliance makes a significant difference to your outcome. According to a recent Australian Dental Association survey, only around 4% of Australian dentists regularly provide oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnoea. Most who do, do so infrequently — and often with a single appliance design that may not suit every patient.
The dentist you choose should be doing this every day, not occasionally.
Dental sleep medicine is not a sideline at SleepWise.
It is all we do.
Our clinicians work exclusively in this field, hold Fellowship of Dental Sleep Medicine (FDSM) accreditation through the Australasian Sleep Association, and draw on a range of the latest 3D-printed nylon appliances to select the one most suited to each individual patient.
What To Look For?
When choosing a dentist for your oral appliance, it matters that they
Are trained and experienced specifically in dental sleep medicine
Use a range of 3D-printed nylon, custom-made and adjustable appliances — not a single off-the-shelf device
Are a member of the Australasian Sleep Association (ASA) and hold, or are completing, a Fellowship of Dental Sleep Medicine (FDSM)
Work with an Australian laboratory that specialises in dental sleep appliances
Offer structured follow-up care to ensure the appliance is working effectively
