READY TO UNCOVER WHAT DENTAL SLEEP MEDICINE CAN DO FOR YOUR PATIENTS AND YOUR PRACTICE?
Unlike other programs that overwhelm you with science and theory, this seminar is focused on real-world results. You’ll get the foundational knowledge you need—like sleep-disordered breathing physiology, terminology, and how OSA is currently treated in medicine—but the majority of the course dives into the practical side of dental sleep medicine.
Our expert instructors will guide you through the proven “Dream Team Method,” a step-by-step protocol that delivers strong clinical outcomes, remarkably high case acceptance, and consistent medical insurance reimbursement. This course is perfect for both dentists and team members, with hands-on breakout sessions that offer valuable experience in record-taking, airway measurement, sleep testing, and more. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to scale your sleep business, you’ll leave this seminar with the tools, training, and confidence to take action right away.
