Philadelphia Dentist Offers Veterans Alternative Sleep Apnea Treatment

Veterans in the Philadelphia region now have a new, comfortable option for managing sleep apnea through oral appliance therapy, thanks to Dr. Charles Champion's recent credentialing with the Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Network.

Dr. Champion, working with Sleep Impressions and Millennium Sleep Lab, will provide an alternative treatment for veterans who struggle with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices. This innovative approach addresses a critical healthcare need for veterans experiencing sleep-disordered breathing.

Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, causing disrupted sleep, daytime fatigue, and potential long-term health complications. Traditional CPAP machines, while effective, can be uncomfortable and challenging for many patients to use consistently.

Oral appliance therapy offers a less invasive solution, providing veterans with a more comfortable and potentially more sustainable treatment option. By creating a custom-fitted dental device that helps keep airways open during sleep, patients can experience improved breathing and more restful sleep.

The partnership between Dr. Champion's practice, apZme, Sleep Impressions, and Millennium Sleep Lab represents a significant advancement in veterans' healthcare. By expanding treatment options, these organizations are addressing the diverse needs of veterans and improving their overall health and well-being.

With over 20 years of experience in dental sleep medicine, the involved organizations are committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. This credentialing enables veterans to access a covered benefit that can dramatically improve their sleep health and, by extension, their overall quality of life.
