Get Effective Treatment From Our Expert Team
After your initial sleep apnea consultation, we'll recommend an assessment that will confirm your sleep apnea disorder. This process takes about six appointments to complete, but it will be well worth it when you sleep through the night without interruption. Here is what you can expect:
- First Appointment - During your consultation, we'll do a thorough examination and determine if you show the signs of sleep apnea. You'll then take home a sleep test you can conduct on your own and bring it back with you to your next appointment.
- Second Appointment - A sleep physician will review the results of your test and our in-office examination. If we can confirm you have sleep apnea, we'll create a customized oral appliance that will gently shift your jaw forward to keep your airways open while you sleep.
- Third Appointment - At this appointment, you will receive your sleep appliance, and we'll determine that it's a proper fit and feel. We'll answer any questions you may have about what to expect with your oral appliance.
- Fourth Through Sixth Appointment - Dr. Jivraj will have you return to our office a few more times to determine you are on the path to better health. He may make adjustments to your sleep guard and discuss your progress.

Common Questions About Sleep Apnea Assessment
What does a sleep apnea assessment show?
A sleep apnea assessment will show if you have trouble breathing through the night. It tracks your breathing, heart rhythms, oxygen levels, effort required to breathe, snoring, and more. A sleep physician can interpret these results to confirm if you have a sleep disorder. This allows us to move forward with treatment.
How long do I need to sleep for the sleep apnea assessment to show results?
You normally have to sleep at least four hours for the test to show accurate results. Best of all, it takes only one night to complete. It used to be that you had to go to a sleep lab to get this kind of testing done, but luckily you can now do it from the comfort of your home.
How soon can I find out about the results from my assessment?
Once you return to our office with your at-home sleep assessment device, we'll download the data. We'll have a sleep physician interpret the results to confirm if you do have sleep apnea. Once we have this information, we can fit you with a customized oral appliance that will keep your airways open while you sleep.
