For Referring Physicians
A Referral Partner for Your CPAP-Intolerant Patients.
Physician-coordinated oral appliance therapy in Johnson County — you diagnose and direct care; we deliver the appliance and report back.
You diagnose
OSA diagnosis, sleep studies, and interpretation stay with you and your sleep lab. We never diagnose.
We treat on your diagnosis
Custom mandibular advancement (oral appliance) therapy: evaluation, digital scan, delivery, titration, ongoing management.
The patient stays yours
We're the downstream therapy partner, not a replacement for your management. Every report comes back to your office.
How referring works
You refer — online at /refer/sleep, by fax (817) 719-8616, or by phone. Send the sleep study and PAP history if available.
We confirm within one business day — receipt to your office, and we contact the patient to schedule.
We evaluate and fit — candidacy exam, digital scan, custom appliance delivery.
We manage and titrate — adjusting for comfort and effectiveness.
We report back — objective adherence and follow-up data; any recommended efficacy testing is coordinated through your office.
The evidence — including severe OSA
Oral appliance therapy is a guideline-recommended option for adults with OSA who can't tolerate PAP or decline it — a recommendation with no upper severity limit. Head-to-head trials show outcomes comparable to CPAP on blood pressure, sleepiness, and quality of life, largely because appliances are worn more consistently. For a CPAP-intolerant patient, the practical comparison isn't appliance vs. CPAP — it's appliance vs. no treatment. CPAP remains first-line, and we tell every patient so. The guideline recommends oral appliance therapy be provided by a qualified dentist — our treating dentists, Drs. Bennion and Argyle, hold the AADSM Qualified Dentist designation.

Physician FAQ
Who is a good candidate to refer?
Adults with diagnosed OSA at any severity who are PAP-intolerant or have declined PAP; patients wanting an alternative or a travel/backup option; and diagnosed patients with significant snoring. For undiagnosed patients, we coordinate diagnosis through you or a sleep lab first.
Do you treat severe OSA?
Yes, for patients who can't or won't use CPAP — the guideline recommendation for oral appliance therapy carries no severity cutoff. We never position the appliance as superior to CPAP a patient tolerates well.
Do you diagnose or run sleep studies?
No. Diagnosis, testing, and interpretation stay with the physician. We treat on your diagnosis.
What do we get back after we refer?
Confirmation of receipt within one business day, a delivery report, titration updates, objective adherence data, and coordination of any recommended post-treatment efficacy testing through your office.
How does billing work?
We're out-of-network for medical insurance. Patients pay our office directly and receive a detailed superbill to pursue reimbursement from their medical plan. We're straightforward with patients about this — we never promise coverage.
How fast can our patient be seen?
We aim for same-week scheduling for physician referrals whenever possible.
We'd welcome the chance to introduce our team. We'll bring lunch for your staff and walk through when oral appliance therapy is appropriate and exactly how the referral process works — 20 minutes, no pitch.
