Your dental health can provide important insights into your overall well-being—including your sleep. During a routine dental visit, your dentist may identify signs of sleep apnea and recommend a simple, at-home testing process.

The Dandy Sleep Programme makes it easy to get tested, receive a diagnosis, understand your insurance coverage, and, if appropriate, begin treatment with a custom oral appliance.

Throughout the process, you'll have support from a dedicated Dandy Patient Coordinator who will help guide you through each step.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

During your dental exam, your dentist may identify signs or symptoms associated with sleep apnea, such as:

• Tooth grinding or excessive tooth wear
• Airway concerns
• Tongue size or positioning
• Snoring
• Daytime fatigue

If appropriate, your dentist may recommend an at-home sleep test.

What Happens Next?

During the same appointment, your dentist may:

• Capture a digital scan of your teeth and bite
• Provide you with a sleep test ring for future testing

Capturing records early helps avoid additional appointments if treatment is recommended later.

Step 2: Getting Started with Your Sleep Test

After your dentist submits your sleep test case, a Dandy Patient Coordinator will contact you to:

• Explain the process
• Answer any questions
• Collect required documentation
• Verify your insurance benefits

Information You'll Need to Provide

Please upload the following through Dandy's secure portal:

• Driver's licence or other identification
• Medical insurance card

Once your information is received, Dandy will verify your insurance benefits and estimate any potential out-of-pocket costs.
