Obstructive Sleep Apnea Services in Poughkeepsie
We provide both diagnostic and corrective services including:
Comprehensive Dental Exam – Dr. Bhalla includes a thorough assessment of patients’ airways during dental exams. If she finds any signs that may indicate sleep apnea, she follows with specific questions to help determine if you need further tests.
At Home Sleep Test – This preliminary diagnostic tool is easy to use and helps our sleep apnea dentists and other health professionals define your symptoms.
Dental Appliance Therapy – Night-guards and splints are precisely customized to provide relief from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea
CPAP Therapy Coordination – If your sleep apnea is deemed too severe to be alleviated by guards or splints alone, we work with our network of professionals and modify your appliance to work in conjunction with a CPAP mask for more effective treatment.
