Dr. Ashley Spooner

Return to Academy

In this comprehensive webinar. Dr. Ashley Spooner shares her strategies for seamlessly integrating Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) into a general dentistry practice. With Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) remaining an 80% undiagnosed condition linked to severe health risks like cardiovascular disease and early-onset Alzheimer’s, dentists are positioned to screen and treat patients by evaluating their airways during routine exams.

If you are looking to elevate your practice and introduce sleep medicine without disrupting your core daily business, this video provides a highly structured, operational blueprint. Dr. Spooner covers the business and clinical workflows necessary to provide life-changing patient care while maximizing profitability. Key highlights from the presentation include:

  • Empowering Your Team with the RISE Technique: Learn how to overcome your staff’s fear of change by using the structured “Review, Implement, Sustain, and Evaluate” method. Dr. Spooner explains how identifying “sleep champions” and delegating tasks like digital scanning and symptom screening to your dental assistants can maximize your efficiency.

  • Maximizing Economic Throughput & Profitability: Discover how to streamline administrative processes, manage clinical inputs, and utilize standardized documentation templates to increase your revenue per chair hour. The webinar also explores various reimbursement strategies, breaking down the differences between cash fee models, commercial insurance, third-party medical billers, and Medicare.

  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Understand the importance of partnering with sleep physicians and medical care teams to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective referrals. Dr. Spooner discusses how to build referral networks and utilize combination therapies, such as using an oral appliance to lower the required pressure of a CPAP machine for severe, CPAP-intolerant patients.

  • Delivering Quality Oral Appliances: Learn why partnering with established labs for high-quality, FDA-approved devices is important for your workflow. Delivering an accurate oral appliance should take under 30 minutes; using high-quality appliances reduces clinical adjustments, minimizes chair time, and improves patient adherence.

Watch the full video to discover how establishing a patient-centric clinical culture can boost your team’s sense of purpose, increase practice revenue, and provide life-changing relief for your patients.
