About Our Office
AN OPEN LETTER to prospective patients: I am writing this letter to prospective patients and individuals who are investigating oral appliances for themselves or a loved one.
Advanced Dental Sleep Business Seminar
Dr. Denbar is teaching an advanced billing and clinical seminar in Dental Sleep Medicine (designated as an Approved PACE Program Provider by the Academy of General Dentistry.)
This Dental Sleep Continuing Education (CE) Seminar focuses on medical insurance reimbursement and the clinical aspects of Dental Sleep Medicine. Understand how both impact the business side of your practice. Learn how to provide maximum benefits for your patients and learn how to get paid for Oral Appliance Therapy.
Dr. Denbar is an in-network provider with major medical insurance companies for oral appliances to treat sleep apnea as an alternative to CPAP. Our Austin, TX office is located in the Citibank building at the NW corner of MoPac and Spicewood Springs.
Oral appliances have been registered by the FDA and may be used to treat sleep apnea when administered by a qualified dentist trained in Dental Sleep Therapy.
Develop Good Sleep Habits
- Go to sleep at the same time every night.
- Try a light snack before sleeping. Foods high in tryptophan such as bananas may help.
- Try and not take your worries to bed with you.
- Regular exercise will help but not immediately before bedtime.
- Take a warm bath. Water that is too hot will only stimulate you and keep you awake.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, smoking, and large meals within four hours of bedtime.
- Deep breathing exercises will speed your relaxation.
- Reserve your bed for sleeping. Do not use your bed as a work place.
- Keep noise levels down and the room dark.
- Sleeping on your side and slightly elevated is recommended.
- Keep your room at a comfortable temperature and make sure your bed is big enough for your needs.
- Try and avoid long term use of medications to help you fall asleep. If you must be on them then only do this under the care of you physician.
- Limit your naptime, set a regular bedtime and try not to go to bed too early.
- Try and get your stress and anxiety under control before sleep.
Austin Apnea & Snoring Therapy uses FDA registered dental oral appliances to treat mild and moderate sleep apnea and to provide a more comfortable alternative to CPAP. Our office is an in-network provider for most major medical insurance companies.
