The collaboration between Dr. Nneka Obi of First Street Smiles in Hackensack and apZme subsidiaries Sleep Group Solutions and Sleep Impressions marks a pivotal advancement in dental sleep medicine services for the New Jersey community. This partnership leverages cutting-edge technology and expertise to provide Oral Appliance Therapy, a viable alternative to traditional CPAP therapy for patients suffering from snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a condition affecting nearly a quarter of the adult population in the United States, often goes undiagnosed, leading to severe health complications such as heart disease and diabetes. The integration of Sleep Group Solutions' EccoVision Airway Imaging Technology with Sleep Impressions' service partnership enables Dr. Obi to offer a treatment option that is not only effective but also accessible, as it is often covered by medical insurance and Medicare.
Dr. Obi's enthusiasm for the partnership underscores the potential of Oral Appliance Therapy to improve sleep quality, health, and overall well-being for individuals in the Hackensack area. The support from Sleep Group Solutions and Sleep Impressions empowers First Street Smiles to address the critical need for sleep disorder management, making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected.
John Nadeau, President of Sleep Group Solutions, and Dr. Kent Smith, CEO of Star Sleep & Wellness and Co-Founder & President of apZme, both highlighted the importance of such collaborations in expanding access to essential sleep medicine services. The apZme Dental Sleep Medicine Business Builder Program, part of this initiative, aims to facilitate in-network insurance coverage, further removing barriers to treatment for sleep apnea patients.
This partnership not only represents a significant leap forward in dental sleep medicine but also sets a precedent for how dental practices can play a crucial role in addressing public health challenges related to sleep disorders.
