Dr. Parks is the only dentist in the Waco area who is designated as a qualified dentist by the AADSM and is board eligible in Dental Sleep Medicine. Our practice is dedicated to providing effective, comfortable Oral Appliances for Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients who cannot tolerate their CPAP units. These Oral Appliances also effectively treat Snoring problems.
They are considered Medical Devices and may be covered by your medical insurance plan. CPAP units effectively treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea when they are used regularly. However, they can be difficult to use, and many patients find the masks and hoses associated with the CPAP units uncomfortable. Patients also may find that their bed partner is disturbed by not only the mask and hoses, but also by the noise the units make.
Those patients who travel frequently may find the CPAP units inconvenient to take through security checkpoints. Individuals who spend time pursuing outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, and hunting may not have access to electrical connections to power their CPAP unitss.

You know it instinctively: A good night's sleep is essential for good health.
It makes you feel rested and ready to take on the world.
Yet many people don't get the sleep they need.
Sometimes this is related to sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) - their own, or those experienced by their sleeping partners.
SRBD is characterized by recurrent episodes of reduced or interrupted respiratory airflow.
This is caused by soft tissues near the back of the throat collapsing during sleep so that they partially close off the windpipe.
