Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
A dentist who has experience making and using these types of appliances can make one for you. If we can be of service, please contact our office at (248) 280-0800.Sincerely,Craig Goldin, DDSCosmetic Dentistry Institute

The best way to get you started on your treatment is to perform a dental examination in order to see where the problem may be stemming from. Normally, we recommend that you spend one night at a sleep lab in order to get the correct diagnosis. This should be covered by your medical insurance. Once the diagnosis is made you will have a choice of wearing a CPAP machine or fabricating a dental sleep appliance. Any dental sleep appliance should be made based on your sleep lab diagnosis... in order for it to provide the necessary treatment and clinical criteria for your needs. There are many different sleep appliances and sleep treatments. All appliances must be custom fitted to your needs! It is also important to have a thorough TMJ examination in order to ensure that you do not develop jaw joint or muscular problems with your sleep appliance. We specialize in sleep dentistry, TMJ, headache, and facial pain treatments!
