Dr. Schuyler VanDyke, a dental professional in Great Falls, Montana, has been credentialed to provide oral appliance therapy for veterans suffering from sleep apnea. This development offers veterans in the region a new, non-invasive treatment option through the VA Community Care Network.
Through partnerships with Sleep Impressions and Millennium Sleep Lab, Dr. VanDyke can now offer alternative sleep apnea treatments for veterans who qualify for care outside the traditional VA system. Many veterans find traditional CPAP therapy challenging due to discomfort or lifestyle restrictions, making oral appliance therapy an important alternative.
The oral appliance approach provides a customized, comfortable solution for managing sleep apnea. By expanding treatment options, the partnership aims to improve veterans' access to specialized sleep medicine and potentially enhance their overall health and quality of life.
This credentialing represents a significant advancement in veterans' healthcare, allowing them to receive targeted, personalized sleep apnea treatment closer to home. The collaboration between apZme, Sleep Impressions, Millennium Sleep Lab, and the VA demonstrates a commitment to innovative, patient-centered medical care.
