Dr. Nicholas Papageorgiou, DDS, is a highly skilled dentist specializing in Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT), an effective and non-invasive CPAP alternative for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring. With extensive training and a passion for improving patient outcomes, Dr. Papageorgiou focuses on providing personalized, comfortable solutions for patients who struggle with CPAP intolerance or are seeking a more convenient and less cumbersome treatment option for their sleep-related breathing disorders.

Dr. Papageorgiou is committed to delivering the highest standard of care with custom-fit oral appliances, also known as Mandibular Advancement Devices, designed to address the root causes of sleep apnea and snoring. These compact, portable devices are travel-friendly, require no electricity, and offer a much higher compliance rate compared to traditional CPAP therapy.

As recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), Oral Appliance Therapy is a first-line treatment for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Papageorgiou works closely with patients to create individualized treatment plans that improve sleep quality, reduce daytime fatigue, and enhance overall health.

At Comprehensive Sleep Care Center, where Dr. Papageorgiou practices, Oral Appliance Therapy is covered by many insurance plans under medical insurance (minus deductible and co-pay), as the devices are classified as durable medical equipment (DME) rather than dental equipment. This makes treatment accessible and affordable for countless patients seeking relief from OSA and snoring.
