Dental sleep medicine as part of your treatment chain
Dear Colleague,
I offer you splint provision for OSAS, snoring and bruxism – structured, interdisciplinary and without additional administrative effort for your practice.
Sleep medicine needs teamwork
We take on the dental splint therapy – fully and seamlessly embedded in your existing care pathways. At the Swiss Dental Center – close to the Zurich Hardbrücke railway station.
🎯
Specialisation in sleep-medicine indications
Our treatment processes are consistently geared towards OSAS, snoring and bruxism – based on current scientific recommendations and individually adapted splint provision.
⚙️
Structured processes from A to Z
From prior cost approval to the final check-up, all steps follow a clearly defined scheme. We also handle communication with the health insurers – no additional effort for your practice.
🤝
You stay informed
Whether you refer patients to us or our patients come to you – with the patient’s consent, you receive ongoing feedback about the course of treatment. Follow-up checks are coordinated jointly.
The treatment process in four steps:
So läuft eine Zusammenarbeit mit uns in der Praxis ab – klar strukturiert und auf Ihre Anforderungen abgestimmt.
Patient referral
You recommend splint therapy and refer the patient to us.
At the first appointment in our practice, we check whether a splint is possible for your patient. We carry out the preliminary examinations and explain the therapy. Any dental pre-treatment is usually carried out by the patient’s own dentist.
For OSAS, we handle the prior cost approval with the health insurer entirely ourselves.
Findings & scan
(= digital impression)
Before the actual treatment can begin at our practice, examinations of the jaw joint, the dental arches, mobility and much more are carried out. Finally, a 3D scan of the dental arches is made, from which the splint can then be produced.
Step 03Fitting & instruction
After a few weeks the splint is ready to use. The patient is thoroughly instructed in its use, care and adjustment, and the individual advancement is set and documented.
Follow-up & outcome measurement
Follow-up appointments at the InterSleep practice take place regularly, as does the referral back to you – so that you can arrange a follow-up polygraphy if you wish.
Recommendation for the wording of a prescription: “Please check the dental option and, where applicable, provide the above-mentioned patient with a custom-made mandibular advancement splint.”
This prescription can be issued informally – on a prescription form, as text in a letter or in the findings of a polygraphy or similar.
