Welcome to Coastal Sleep & TMJ in Poquoson, VA. Our office provides screening and oral appliance therapy for patients who have been diagnosed by a medical professional with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or sleep-disordered breathing.

We offer oral appliance therapy to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea or as an alternative to the CPAP for intolerant patients.

Follow-up visits are recommended to monitor the changes in your sleep patterns and symptoms and ensure that your treatment improves your overall health and well-being.
We strive to provide affordable sleep disorder treatments with convenient payment options.
Dental Sleep Medicine
Many patients ask, “why visit the dentist for sleep apnea?” As a highly trained and experienced dentist, Dr. Harper has an in-depth understanding of the musculoskeletal structure and function of the entire occlusal system.
Sleep apnea or sleep-disordered breathing is typically caused by a collapse of soft tissues at the back of the throat, the signs of which can often be noticed during a physical exam. Dr. Harper will look for common risk factors among patients to alert them to the increased risk for the development of sleep apnea during routine dental care and consultations for a possible sleep disorder.
