Medical-Based Dental Services & Sleep-Related Treatment Options
Eriks Dental Group offers a range of medically supported dental services designed to help patients with sleep-related disorders, chronic jaw pain, and complex restorative needs. For patients who meet medical necessity guidelines, many of these treatments may qualify for medical coverage.
It’s important to note:
- We accept most major PPO’s non Medicare plans for medically necessary implants and oral sleep apnea devices.
Below is an overview of what we offer and how the process works.
Services Covered
Full Mouth Reconstruction With Implants
For patients with multiple failing or missing teeth, we provide implant-supported full mouth reconstruction for improved chewing, function, and quality of life.
Evaluation for Sleep-Disordered Breathing
A full clinical assessment to identify symptoms related to restricted airflow, nighttime breathing issues, and potential sleep apnea.
Home Sleep Testing for Suspected Sleep Apnea
Convenient, take-home sleep testing for patients who may have undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.
Oral Appliance Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Custom-made oral appliances that reposition the jaw to improve airflow during sleep. Often recommended for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP.
Treatment for Snoring Related to Airway Issues
Targeted solutions to reduce snoring caused by airway collapse or restricted breathing at night.
Evaluation & Treatment of TMJ or Facial Pain
Diagnostic exams and therapy options for chronic jaw pain, tension headaches, or TMJ-related discomfort.
Bite & Jaw Function Assessments
A detailed review of how your teeth and jaw work together, especially if chewing is difficult or painful due to airway obstruction or missing teeth.
Follow-Up Visits for Medically Necessary Conditions
Ongoing care and monitoring to ensure continued improvement and long-term treatment success.

Important Notes About BCBS PPO Coverage
Patients with BCBS PPO may qualify for coverage when medical necessity criteria are met. This typically applies to individuals who:
- Need multiple teeth extracted, or
- Already have several missing teeth and have difficulty eating or chewing
Because every plan is different, eligibility must be confirmed before treatment begins. Our team will walk you through your options and verify benefits directly with your insurer.
Referrals & Financing
Referrals: We accept referrals from medical doctors, sleep specialists, ENTs, and other healthcare providers.
Financing Options: Flexible payment plans are available for patients who need assistance covering treatment costs.
