Get to Know Us a Bit Better
Welcome to our blog! In future posts, we will provide helpful and fascinating information on a broad range of topics that relate to sleep quality, sleep apnea, and TMJ disorder (TMD). In the meantime, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves. Continue reading below to learn about our doctor and why Sleep Better Southwest in Flagstaff stands out from the pack.
Meet Dr. Jonathan Held
Dr. Jonathan Held is the experienced sleep dentist who leads our team. Not only is he extensively educated in sleep apnea and airway health, but he also has great empathy for patients. That is because he struggled with sleep apnea for years. When he finally started treatment, it made a world of difference in his daily quality of life! He wants others to enjoy all the benefits of high-quality sleep, and he has committed himself to that purpose.
Dr. Held is a graduate of Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha. Since deciding to shift his career to focusing primarily on sleep apnea treatment, he has taken over 800 hours of continuing education almost entirely focused on the field of sleep medicine.
What We Do
Our Flagstaff office offers services that focus on optimizing airway and jaw health. To that end, we can help you:
- Get a sleep apnea diagnosis. We provide convenient take-home tests for this purpose.
- Find relief from sleep apnea. We feature oral appliance therapy, a convenient alternative to CPAP machines.
- Treat TMJ disorder. Custom orthotics can relieve jaw pain and related symptoms.
What Makes Us Stand Out?
Lots of dentists offer sleep apnea therapy, but we stand out for a few reasons. For example, Dr. Held is only Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine in Northern Arizona. That means he has passed rigorous certification tests and gone out of his way to provide evidence of his expertise in dental sleep medicine.
We are also the only dental practice in Northern Arizona completely dedicated to sleep apnea treatment that is in-network with most medical insurance companies, including Medicare.
Last but certainly not least, you can count on us to treat you with great respect and empathy. In fact, we spend most of our initial consultations on simply helping patients understand their condition.
