\"SmiingWhen you\u2019re ready to start offering your dental patients sleep apnea treatment options, you will need to follow a simple three-step plan to get your thriving dental sleep practice up and running. First, you need to make introductions, so your peers in the medical and dental community, as well as your patients, know you are offering the service. Second, you\u2019ll need to learn more about medical insurance and billing. Finally, you\u2019ll want to build your online presence and provide the necessary information to your patients both current and potential. In this post, we\u2019ll discuss the first phase of starting your dental sleep practice \u2013 making introductions.
\n<\/p>\n

Meet the Local Sleep Doctors<\/h2>\n

The first and potentially most important step is letting local sleep doctors know that you\u2019re going to offer custom oral appliances for patients with sleep apnea. You may want to schedule lunches, seminars, or simply provide information to local sleep doctors. The better your relationships with the physicians at local practices, the more likely they are to refer patients to you for oral appliances. It\u2019s important to take the time to develop these relationships in order to build your sleep practice.<\/p>\n

Tell Your Current Patients<\/h2>\n

Another source of potential patients isn\u2019t always as obvious to dentists, but actually, you have a built-in resource \u2013 your current patients. You should find a way to let your current customer base know that you\u2019re now offering sleep apnea therapies. A great way to promote this new service is to offer free or discounted sleep apnea screenings during dental exams. If you use a newsletter, blog, social media, or direct mail marketing, you can utilize these tools to let your patients know about sleep apnea services. You may also want to place signage and\/or informational resources inside your practice where patients will see the information during their appointments.<\/p>\n
