Home Sleep Study UnitSan Jose, CA

Home Sleep Testing

We offer a home sleep test as an option for our patients that feel they are not getting enough good quality of sleep. Our sleep test unit allows the patient to do the test in their own home where they are most comfortable and most in their natural state.

We believe in treating the entire body as many dental issues are also related to what is going on medically with patients. A thorough medical history intake and screening for sleep disorders is a priority for the overall health and wellbeing of our patients.
