Sleep Apnea is a life threatening disorder and should not go un-treated just because you can’t tolerate your CPAP! We can make a custom-fit FDA cleared oral appliance for treating sleep apnea. The mouthpiece will adjust your lower jaw and your tongue to help keep your airways open while you sleep.
CPAP in the past has been the gold standard of treatment for sleep apnea–The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) physicians at AASM.org say presently that a CPAP may increase the spread of the corona virus and that they now recommend only making oral appliances through a dentist to treat the sleep apnea

"During my fourth academic year at Rutgers I was one of eleven students selected to participate in the Community Oriented Dental Education (CODE) program. The CODE program expanded my knowledge, shaped my skills, and abilities while delivering care to the underserved. I was able to see a wide range of patients from medically compromised to those with HIV/AIDS. My primary goal as a dentist is to provide the best possible patient care experience in a friendly and caring environment. I would listen to your questions and concerns and I would love to help you achieve your dental goals. I also speak Spanish. I love everything about healthy lifestyle, traveling, international cuisine and philanthropy."
Hi, my name is March Gardener and I went to see Dr. Homoky at the Homoky Implant and Family Dentistry in Port Charlotte, FL. Six months ago I started with him to redo some implants that I had from 20 years ago, and then again from 5 years ago that I was very disappointed from. I wound up going as a referral to Dr. Homoky. It took me six months, and an extra implant that he was able to put in, and on December 19th I was pleasantly surprised with my completed implants and upper denture. It was worth all the wait and all the money to make me feel as though I have my own teeth back again. What he has done and how they took pictures on every angle of my face and took pictures of me from 20 years ago to capture that look that I was looking for, and having his staff so involved in making me feel like family, was so well worth all the effort I have done. I have never been so pleased; words cannot describe how ecstatic that I was. He was just very wonderful and I recommend this place to anybody that wants to get any dental work done at all. They are just tremendous! Thank you!
Hi, my name is Steve Michod, I am a patient of Dr. Joseph Homoky. I had this procedure done, where I was given a mouthpiece to stop my jaw from slipping back when I sleep at night and, I noticed after a few days of using it, that my depth perception was better. Things appeared more 3D, and the colors seemed more pronounced, which was a big difference to me. Of course, I also felt more rested.
Hi, the patient was Douglas Muchler, he saw Dr. Homoky, and we went to see him for an obstructed sleep apnea device. The office was very pleasant and very informative. Melissa Decaro was the practice administrator and she was absolutely wonderful. From the time I had called to make the appointment, she answered and was very courteous on the phone and answered all my questions. So we decided to go to see the doctor; I actually found him on Google and we were very happy that we did. They went over and above everything that they had to do. Maggie, the nurse, was really great too; she was informative, she came out and explained everything to us about the device and procedure that she had done on my husband. We were very very happy! We met the doctor and we really liked him too; he was very nice, informative, courteous. The whole office staff, I don’t remember all of their names, everyone there made it very inviting and went out of their way for us for our first time visit there. We will definitely be back and might even consider changing to them to do our dentist work. Thank you!
My first visit was only a consultation but I was very well received by a very friendly crew and Milissa who was extremely knowledgeable in the area of sleep apnea and other connected areas. Thank You
Dr. Homoky can help you stop snoring, have a good night sleep and a healthy life!! thank you Homoky family dentistry!!
After going to numerous dentists in town: aspen, waterside, and North Port dental, I was told the same thing; no money no treatment. My wife called ahead because I was working and all of them told us they would pull my abcessed tooth! After a trip to the North Port ER, which also offered no assistance, I found Homoky family dentistry online. I pleaded with them, I had an abcessed tooth, couldn't eat (lost 20 lbs) , couldn't sleep, couldn't be a dad or husband to my family! They called me as soon as they opened! They immediately scheduled an appointment and was seen the same day! They did xrays and determined that my tooth was too infected to pull that day so they scheduled a day later in the week and prescribe stronger antibiotics. Upon my return I had initially notified I repeatedly missed work and had no money or insurance. I ended up losing my job. Dr Homoky had compassion! He prescribed stronger antibiotics and gave me over the counter pain medication that actually helped so I could sleep at night in preparation of having a tooth pulled. The day of they treated me with compassion, numbed out my entire mouth, and I didn't even realize they had pulled the tooth because they were so gentle! When I do have insurance I will always use them as my family dentist, especially for my whole family! I have never been treated better I've been shown more compassion. They truly care about your situation, the staff is also extremely professional, compassionate and very helpful. I will refer anybody and everybody I know to this practice!
I couldn't been more appreciative for all you do. Not only the greatest environment, but it's also a great service always. I had a tip on my partial and couldn't believe that in such a few minutes it was fixed and even more that I expected. I truly love all of you abd I am always bragging that you're the only place that I feel so relaxed that I fall asleep on the dentist chair without any medication involved. ?????I always have your business card in my wallet and pass it out in any opportunity I have and also tell about you guys anytime I see a conversation online about people looking for a dentist. I have been blessed with your service and attention and do my best to share with everyone, because I want them to feel what I feel when I am in your office. Thank You for all your live and care for others!!! Blessings always, Lu.
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is pressurized air from a bedside machine, delivered through a tube that connects to a mask that covers the nose. The air forces and maintains the airway open while you sleep.
Oral Appliance Therapy is completely non-invasive, comfortable and painless. It is a mouthpiece, for patients with primary snoring or mild to moderate Sleep Apnea. It works by repositioning your jaw forward preventing the muscles at the back of your throat from collapsing, keeping your airway open to allow adequate air intake.
People with corona virus almost always have pre-existing obstructive sleep apnea. Cardiovascular and respiratory conditions cause people to be more liable for Covid-19–are typical symptoms of sleep apnea. Getting treated for sleep apnea can help get through this crisis.
