Insurance
We have treatment coordinators who are specialists in maximizing the benefits of our patients' insurance plans to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Insurance Guidance
Before your first appointment, we recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify your benefits. An important distinction to understand is that TMJ and sleep treatment is filed under medical insurance, not dental insurance. This is a critical detail that many patients overlook.
Dr. Krish is an out-of-network provider, which means you may still receive coverage depending on your plan type and benefits. Our treatment coordinators are experienced in working with insurance companies to help maximize your reimbursement.

Oral Appliances
The preferred method of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the CPAP machine. An alternative treatment is oral appliance therapy. One appliance looks like a mouth guard. Another dental device stabilizes the tongue.
