Dr. Samer George Jarwa, DDS, is a highly trained dentist dedicated to helping patients find relief from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring through Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT). With a commitment to patient care and years of expertise, Dr. Jarwa specializes in providing non-invasive CPAP alternatives that are both comfortable and effective. His tailored approach ensures patients achieve better sleep quality, improved health, and greater overall well-being.

Dr. Jarwa uses custom-fit oral appliances, also called Mandibular Advancement Devices, to treat OSA and snoring. These compact, travel-friendly devices are designed to be easy to use and require no electricity—offering a convenient solution for patients who struggle with CPAP intolerance. With a higher compliance rate than CPAP therapy, Oral Appliance Therapy is an excellent choice for patients seeking a simpler, more effective way to manage sleep apnea.

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 mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Jarwa ensures that each device is custom-crafted to address the unique needs of his patients, helping them experience uninterrupted, restorative sleep.

At Comprehensive Sleep Care Center, where Dr. Jarwa practices, Oral Appliance Therapy is covered by many insurance plans under medical insurance (minus deductible and co-pay) since it is classified as durable medical equipment (DME) rather than dental equipment. This makes the treatment both accessible and affordable for patients seeking a trusted alternative to CPAP.
