Treatment that fits your life.

Oral appliance therapy is the modern alternative to CPAP for many patients. Each treatment plan starts with a sleep physician's diagnosis, then Dr. Holt builds a custom device shaped to your mouth.

Oral Appliance Therapy

A small, custom-fit device worn at night. It holds the lower jaw slightly forward to keep your airway open. No mask, no hose, no machine noise. The standard of care for mild to moderate sleep apnea and a strong option for severe cases when CPAP fails.

CPAP Alternatives

If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea and your CPAP is collecting dust, you're not alone. Roughly half of patients abandon their machines within a year. An oral appliance is often the next step.

Snoring Treatment

Loud, persistent snoring is more than a nuisance. It can signal an underlying airway issue, and it costs the person next to you their sleep too. A custom appliance can quiet most snoring overnight.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Untreated sleep apnea raises your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and accidents. Treating it well can change how you feel every day. Dr. Holt's approach is co-managed with your sleep physician, from start to finish.

Stop wrestling with sleep apnea
If you snore loudly, wake up exhausted, or can't stand your CPAP, an oral appliance may be the answer. The first step is a conversation.
