Does Insurance Cover Oral Appliance Therapy? The Answer: Maybe…

If you’re considering an oral appliance for sleep apnea, one of your first questions is likely: “Will my insurance cover it?” The answer? Maybe.

Unlike other dental treatments, sleep apnea appliances are not covered under dental insurance because they are considered a medical device. Instead, coverage may be available through extended health benefits.

How to Check Your Coverage

Every insurance plan is different, so the best way to know if you're covered is to submit an estimate to your provider. We can help by providing the necessary documentation.

An Investment in Your Health—For Less Than a Daily Coffee

While insurance can help offset the cost, your health is worth the investment—regardless of coverage. Untreated sleep apnea is a silent killer. While its effects may not be immediately obvious, the long-term consequences can be life-threatening. The cost of an oral appliance, when broken down over its lifespan, is less than what many people spend on a daily cup of coffee—but its impact on your health and quality of life is priceless.
