Existing Dental Patient, has a sleep study over a year ago

Dr. Nugent needs a sleep study that is less than a year old.

You can do the sleep study through your Medical Doctor. However, if the Sleep Study does not contain a diagnosis, recommended treatment with oral appliance and a prescription for an oral appliance then Dr. Nugent cannot proceed. Sleep Apnea is a medical diagnosis and Dr. Nugent needs to work under the direction of a medical doctor. You are free to ask your doctor if he/she will write a diagnosis, recommendation and oral appliance prescription for Dr. Nugent. Historically, medical doctors are not familiar on how to utilize a dentist for mandibular advancement therapy and will not help you get an oral appliance.

The report will have detailed information about airway, sinuses, nasal septum and jaw joints. The CBCT is important to rule out obstructions in the nose, sinus and airway.
