Sleep Impressions
About Us
Oral appliance therapy
Offering an alternative in the treatment of sleep apnea: Oral Appliance, officially known as a mandibular advancement device, is a comfortable and effective alternative, especially for mild or moderate OSA. It should be considered when a CPAP can’t be tolerated, but it can also be first line treatment.
A network of trained dentists
Sleep Impressions has a network of trained dentists across the country to consult, customize, and fit oral appliances.
In-network care
Sleep Impressions is an in-network provider with most insurance plans for oral appliances, and the treatment is easier to get insurance approval than CPAP! It’s finally an affordable alternative for patients.
Connected care. Fewer barriers.
“Despite the attraction to dentists and patients,” said Mara Retzlaff, COO and co-founder, “dental sleep has been limited, until now, by the cost of the custom oral appliance and by a disconnect with sleep medicine professionals. Sleep Impressions eliminates both road blocks.”
They bring together dentists trained and experienced in treating sleep apnea with a network of sleep physicians and an accredited sleep testing company. This symbiotic relationship ensures patients are evaluated, diagnosed, and, when appropriate, treated with an oral appliance.
Making treatment more affordable.
Many patients find the cost of dental appliances cost prohibitive. By making it possible for the patient to utilize their medical benefits to obtain a dental appliance, Sleep Impressions eliminates this barrier.
Sleep Impressions is contracted with most major medical insurances and can bill for the appliance in-network, minimizing the out-of-pocket expense for the patient.
Sleep Impressions takes care of the contracting, insurance authorizations, and claim submissions, allowing the dentist to focus on treating the patient.
Training that stays with your team.
For dentists, dental sleep medicine means understanding new clinical processes and administrative protocols. Sleep Impressions offers training for dentists and their staff on identifying sleep apnea, oral appliance therapy, protocols, and documentation.
Training takes place in the dentist’s office, providing participants a hands-on learning environment. After the training, you retain access to dental sleep mentors, as well as online courses.
“New procedures can be difficult and frustrating to implement,” said Tom Gotsis, DDS and Dental Director of Sleep Impressions, “but as a mentor, I will answer questions during your first few cases, addressing situations before they become discouraging issues.”
The Sleep Impressions’ sales team markets to a national network of physicians, connecting them to one of the trained dentists in their area.
