 Most insurance companies will cover a large percentage of the cost of oral appliance therapy if the therapy is performed by a properly trained and qualified dentist.

Dr. Rogers has the training and experience necessary to maximize your insurance benefits. Out of pocket expenses may vary depending upon your policy deductible and co-payment percentage.

Second Hand Snoring

At the very least, snoring is an obnoxious irritation!  In addition, loud, continuous snoring can have significant health consequences for the bed-partner. 

Studies show that when snoring is treated, the bed-partner’s sleep quality is improved leading to better health. 

Other studies demonstrate that the bed-partner’s mood, daytime alertness, quality of life and personal relationship with the snorer is improved when the snoring is resolved.

Research in 2003 showed that the bed-partners of snorers may experience noise-induced hearing loss over time.

our patients are talking...

“Dr. Rogers gave me my first oral appliance in 1991.  The appliance was a godsend to me and I have used several generations of the appliance faithfully for 15 years.

Prior to using and oral appliance I was a very loud snorer with sleep apnea.  My snoring was so bad that my wife left the bedroom and did not return until I began using the appliance.

At first I was skeptical that an oral appliance could help me.  Not only was I a loud snorer but I never felt good in the mornings when I woke up.  I was groggy and tired.  After using the appliance the first night, I awoke the next day feeling refreshed and rested for the first time in many years.  My wife who slept in the same bed with me that night said that I didn’t snore.  I was amazed.  From that day on, I never slept without my appliance (or my wife).

The greatest benefits I have noticed from using the appliance is that it not only took away my snoring and allowed me to awake every morning feeling rested and ready to go, but another unexpected benefit is that I stopped having chronic sinus problems which plagued me for most of my life.

I am in my 70’s and in great health. Dr. Rogers has provided me with the best care possible all these years and I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
