Three steps toward better-rested mornings

What to expect at your first visit
1

Tell us what is happening

Request a consultation or call us. Our team will follow up to discuss your questions and arrange the next step. Sending a request does not book an appointment.

2

Meet with Dr. DeSaix

We review your health history, sleep diagnosis, airway, teeth, and treatment goals. If you still need a diagnosis, we can help coordinate with a sleep physician.

3

Fit, adjust, and follow through

If an appliance is right for you, we create your custom device and continue care to support comfort and treatment effectiveness.

Wondering what insurance may cover?

Oral appliance therapy is billed through medical—not dental—insurance. RespAir Sleep works with and bills major medical insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UMR, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), Cigna, and Medicare. Network status and benefits vary by plan. Our team can verify your specific benefits and explain likely costs before treatment. Verification is not a guarantee of coverage or payment.
