Veterans in the Philadelphia region now have access to a new, non-invasive treatment option for sleep apnea through oral appliance therapy, provided by Dr. Charles Champion of Champion Dentistry.
Dr. Champion has been officially credentialed to offer this specialized treatment through Sleep Impressions and Millennium Sleep Lab, both part of the apZme network of community care providers for the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system. This development provides veterans with a comfortable alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, which many patients find difficult to tolerate.
The oral appliance therapy represents a significant advancement in sleep apnea treatment, particularly for veterans who struggle with traditional CPAP machines. By offering a more comfortable and user-friendly solution, Dr. Champion aims to improve sleep health outcomes for veterans in the community.
This partnership between apZme, Sleep Impressions, Millennium Sleep Lab, and the VA addresses a critical need for diverse sleep apnea treatment options. With over 20 years of experience in dental sleep medicine, these organizations are committed to expanding treatment pathways and improving patient quality of life.
The credentialing of Dr. Champion highlights a growing trend in healthcare to provide personalized, patient-centered treatment solutions that accommodate individual needs and preferences. For veterans suffering from sleep apnea, this means access to a treatment method that could significantly enhance their overall health and well-being.
