At Dental Sleep Solutions of Greenville & McKinney, Dr. Kyle Smith provides personalized oral appliance therapy for individuals suffering from both Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Chronic Snoring. This is achieved with the use of custom, titratable mouth devices. Successful results are achieved by positioning your lower jaw in a slightly forward position, and maintaining this position throughout the night. This can be an effective and comfortable alternative therapy to CPAP treatment, which many people may not wear and are seeking other options. Dr. Kyle Smith will work directly with your Healthcare Provider to achieve optimal results.
Dr. Kyle Smith is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and has spent years advancing his specialty training in Dental Sleep Medicine due to a desire to provide CPAP intolerant patients a way to successfully manage their obstructive sleep apnea with Oral Appliance Therapy.
Beginning in 2015, Dr. Smith began seeking continuing education opportunities in the field of dental sleep medicine and has accumulated 100's of hours of education during this time. In 2019, he was 1 of 12 Dallas area doctors to complete an intensive 6-month Sleep Medicine Continuum at Texas A&M College of Dentistry where he obtained a comprehensive working knowledge of sleep related breathing disorders and patient management with Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Smith has successfully completed the Mastery Course of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and holds the “Qualified Dentist” designation by the AADSM, as well as being designated as a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine by successfully passing the ABDSM certification exam.
The AADSM Mastery Program is a comprehensive, clinically-focused and evidence-based education program limited to dentists, that provides dentists with the necessary training and skills they need to provide oral appliance therapy to patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
Dr. Smith continues to actively participate in Sleep Apnea courses and learning opportunities due to a strong interest in the subject and a passion to help people with their sleep breathing disorders through Oral Appliance Therapy.
Dr. Smith practices according to standards established by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) in cooperation with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
My physician recommended I consult Dr. Kyle Smith to see if he could fit me with an appliance that might lessen my moderate sleep apnea. (He did that for my physician and thus the recommendation.) Dr. Smith has been a joy to work with. Professional, understanding, a good listener, and a fine technician. He took measurements, created an appliance, did numerous fittings and tests to make sure all was good. When there was a minor glitch, he immediately fixed the issue. Patient, attentive, and caring, I cannot say enough about how pleased I have been with the care and attention of Dr. Smith and his staff.
After using my appliance that Dr. Smith made me, in the first week I noticed I was sleeping better. My husband also mentioned to me that I had stopped snoring. Dr. Smith also spent several weeks monitoring my sleep with a digital device, and adjusting the appliance so that it was setup ideally. I recommend this to anyone that might have these problems.
I have sleep apnea and was not able to get a good nights rest for years. Dr Kyle Smith made me a custom sleep apnea appliance and it has definitely made a difference in my well being. I am able to get a good nights rest and it is wonderful.
Thankful for Dr Smith’s expertise in treating my sleep apnea.
Since I started wearing my TAP appliance for my sleep apnea, I am sleeping all night without waking up. I no longer snore and I wake up rested every day. The appliance is very comfortable and it was easy for me to get adjusted to sleeping with it in.
Dr. Kyle Smith suggested I try an appliance to help me with my snoring. I am so glad I did, I sleep better and wake up refreshed. It is so comfortable and easy to use. Thank you
Chronic sleep conditions like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can cause a lot more than just noise. Both disorders can have a negative impact on your sleeping and breathing patterns, which can leave you oxygen and sleep-deprived over time. With our extensive experience treating sleep disorders, we can help you overcome this impact by custom-designing an appropriate sleep appliance to address the causes of your snoring or sleep apnea. With the right appliance, we can help you sleep peacefully again and regain the higher quality of life you deserve.
Many patients are unable to wear a CPAP, due to it’s cumbersome design. Oral Appliance Therapy gives patients an alternative and more comfortable way to manage their Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
A mandibular advancement device is a customized oral appliance that moves and holds the lower jaw in a more forward position, preventing it from collapsing back and obstructing the airway during sleep.
The common symptoms of sleep apnea might not be obvious at first, but before long, the effects on your daily life can become hard to ignore. If you snore constantly or think you may have sleep apnea, then contact us today to ask about undergoing a sleep assessment!
