Take the First Step to Become a Sleep Dentist Today

If you’ve been considering expanding your dentistry services to include treatments for sleep apnea, you likely know this can be a lucrative revenue stream for your practice. However, it’s not as easy as adding the service to your website. You’ll need to network with local sleep doctors, advertise your services, and likely, spend time educating patients about the benefits associated with oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea. Keep reading to learn more about making the transition to offering advanced sleep apnea therapies in your dental office.

Training & Seminars

The first step is to make sure you are up to date on all the latest in the field of dental sleep medicine. If you haven’t already completed advanced training, you should do so. While you likely learned the basics as part of your doctoral studies, the advanced, specialized knowledge you can gain from a seminar or training session will help you stand out from your peers. This training will also make sure you have all the skills you need to provide effective treatment.

Marketing Your Sleep Practice

Once you have the necessary training, you’ll need to get the word out about this new service. Begin by letting all of your current patients know you offer sleep apnea therapy using custom oral appliances. This can be as simple as adding the information to your website and creating a blog, newsletter, or email announcement. You may also want to consider more in-depth marketing strategies that could include a custom plan outlined by your office in partnership with a web marketing provider.

Helping Patients Maximize Insurance Coverage

Another way you can make sure your practice stands out from other dental sleep medicine offices is by helping patients to maximize their medical insurance coverage. Most dental offices do not regularly handle medical billing, and this can be time consuming. The Brady Billing team offers assistance maximizing medical insurance coverage for dental sleep medicine.
