Dr. Nneka Obi, DDS, MPH Joins Sleep Impressions, an apZme Company, to Deliver Cutting-Edge Sleep Medicine Solutions
Sleep Group Solutions and Sleep Impressions, subsidiaries of apZme, announced their partnership with Dr. Nneka Obi, DDS, MPH, of First Street Smiles, to provide sleep apnea treatment in Hackensack, New Jersey. This collaboration enables Dr. Obi to offer advanced dental sleep medicine services to patients suffering from snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
“We are excited to offer Oral Appliance Therapy, an effective and patient-friendly solution that improves sleep quality, health, and overall well-being for our community,” said Dr. Obi. “With the support of Sleep Group Solutions and Sleep Impressions, we’re equipped to make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by sleep disorders.”
The apZme Dental Sleep Medicine Business Builder Program integrates SGS’s proprietary EccoVision Airway Imaging Technology with Sleep Impressions’ ongoing service partnership, to facilitate in-network insurance coverage for many patients seeking treatment for their sleep apnea. Dr. Obi and the team at First Street Smiles are well-positioned to address the growing need for sleep disorder management in Hackensack and the surrounding areas.
“Our mission at SGS is to partner with exceptional dentists across the nation to bring essential sleep medicine services to their communities,” said John Nadeau, President of Sleep Group Solutions. “Dr. Obi and First Street Smiles are committed to providing top-tier care and helping patients find relief from sleep-related breathing disorders.”
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) affects nearly one in four adults in the United States, yet the majority remain undiagnosed. Common symptoms include loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and hypertension, which can lead to serious health complications such as heart disease and diabetes. Dental devices offer an effective alternative to traditional CPAP therapy, and are often covered by medical insurance and Medicare.
”In our field, there is no goal more noble than to broaden our reach to patients suffering with this largely unrecognized disease,” said Dr. Kent Smith, DDS, D-ABDSM, CEO of Star Sleep & Wellness with 5 sleep medicine practices in the DFW area, and Co-Founder & President of apZme. ”We are committed to partnering with practices that share our dedication to improving sleep health and transforming the standard of care for those suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders.”
