Custom oral appliances

Custom oral appliances are designed to fit comfortably and support better airflow during sleep. Each appliance is shaped around your bite, so it feels manageable to wear night after night.

A practical alternative for the right patients

Oral appliances can be a practical option for patients who struggle with other forms of therapy. We discuss when this approach fits and when coordination with your physician or sleep specialist is needed.

Continuing education in sleep medicine

Our team participates in the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, supporting ongoing education in sleep-related care. This commitment helps us stay current on options that benefit patients dealing with sleep concerns.

Care that fits into your routine

Treatment is designed to be straightforward. Wear instructions, follow-up visits, and adjustments help your appliance work effectively while fitting comfortably into your nightly routine.

I recently had work done here with Dr. Murphy.

“She is incredibly sweet! Her work was thorough yet gentle, which is amazing since I hate getting any dental work done. The staff is welcoming, and I was in and out with ease. I’ve already scheduled my next visit. Thank you, Winnetka Dental Group!”

Technology that supports comfortable, accurate care

Digital scanners and low-radiation imaging help us design and fit each appliance with precision. Accurate impressions and careful planning support comfort during wear and a result that feels natural over time.

Care options
designed around clarity

Routine care should feel simple — no surprises, no pressure. Our team reviews any recommendations with you first, then explains what’s covered, what isn’t, and what your options are so you can make decisions that fit your life.

As an out-of-network practice, we file insurance claims on your behalf and help you get the most from your benefits. For patients without insurance, our in-house membership plans cover your regular cleanings, exams, and x-rays at a predictable annual rate — plus discounts on any additional care you need along the way.

Common questions
from patients

How do I know if I should see a Winnetka sleep apnea dentist?

If you snore loudly, wake up tired despite a full night of sleep, or have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, an oral appliance may help. A consultation lets us discuss your symptoms and determine whether dental treatment fits your situation.

Do you diagnose sleep apnea?

Diagnosis typically involves a sleep study and evaluation from a physician or sleep specialist. We work alongside your medical team to provide oral appliance therapy once a diagnosis has been made.

What does an oral appliance feel like?

Custom appliances are designed to feel comfortable during sleep. There is usually a short adjustment period, and we make follow-up adjustments so the fit supports both comfort and function.

How does an oral appliance compare to other treatments?

Oral appliances are one of several options for managing sleep apnea. They can be a good fit for patients who have difficulty with other therapies. We help you understand when this approach makes sense based on your needs.

Will my appliance affect my teeth or bite?

Long-term appliance wear can affect the bite over time. Regular follow-ups help us monitor your fit, make adjustments, and keep your overall oral health on track.

How do I get started?

Treatment begins with a consultation. We review your concerns, evaluate your bite, and coordinate with your physician or sleep specialist when a diagnosis is already in place. From there, we build a plan that fits your needs.
