Smile House Request a sleep consult

A hidden problem that may be causing your poor sleep:

It's how you breathe.

When your tongue and jaw relax at night, the airway behind them can narrow. Smile House treats the dental side of sleep, a core part of dental longevity.

Why a dentist?

Watch what happens to your airway at night.

“Your dentist may be the first person to know you are not sleeping well.”

Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, founder

Your airway runs right behind your tongue and jaw. Watch what can happen to it when you fall asleep, and what a custom appliance can do.

What we see that others miss

Poor sleep leaves a signature in the mouth.

Most people treat the tiredness. We look for the cause. “The answer may be written in your enamel,” says Dr. Levine.

  1. Worn, flattened teeth
  2. A scalloped tongue
  3. A narrow, high palate
  4. An irritated throat
  5. Erosion on the back teeth
  6. Gum loss that doesn’t add up

No single sign confirms a sleep disorder. Together, they form a pattern worth a closer look.

We find the root cause. Then we treat it.

No guessing. The most advanced diagnostics we have, then treatment aimed at the cause. Most plans start with these four.

Designed by our dentists and crafted by our master technicians in our own lab, then fit and fine-tuned to you.

Can't stand your CPAP? For some people an oral appliance is an option. Your sleep physician decides if it fits you.

Bespoke, never one size fits all

Once we know the cause, we go after it.

When your plan needs more than the first four, we bring it in.

Questions, answered

Is this for me?+

If you snore, wake up tired, clench or grind, breathe through your mouth, or wake with headaches, a sleep consult is a good place to start. If nothing points to your mouth, we'll tell you that too.

Do you diagnose sleep apnea?+

No. Sleep apnea is diagnosed by a physician, usually with a sleep study, and we arrange that with our partner sleep physicians when you need it. Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea follows that diagnosis.

I can't stand my CPAP. Is there another option?+

For snoring and for some people with sleep apnea, including those who can't tolerate CPAP, a custom oral appliance is a recognized option. Whether it fits you is decided with your sleep physician, and we coordinate with them.

What does it cost, and do you take insurance?+

Cost depends on what your plan includes, and Cody walks you through it before you book. We're out of network: payment is due at your visit, we submit to your insurance for reimbursement, and CareCredit is available.

What if my partner says I stop breathing at night?+

Please speak with a physician promptly. Pauses in breathing or dangerous daytime sleepiness need medical attention first. You can still request a consult, and we'll call you first.
