SADI Opportunity

SADI membership provides dentists an all-inclusive program that enables them to work with a pulmonologist, board certified in sleep medicine, who makes the diagnoses and effectively generate new patients and make treating sleep apnea through appliance therapy part of their practice. This comprehensive, turnkey training and certification program includes hands on clinical experience geared toward the dentists’ approach to treatment.

The Sleep Apnea Dental Institute also includes, as part of the complete licensing program, strategic vendor relationships, including comprehensive medical diagnostic services, oral appliance manufacturing, marketing, and business development programs, as well as continuing education opportunities. Member dentists enjoy the benefit of a unique and condition-specific cooperative advertising program, as well as SADI’s aggressive consumer education, a twofold approach for generating new patients.
