Referring Providers
We value our relationships with physicians, sleep specialists, ENT doctors, and providers across the Parkersburg area. Managing obstructive sleep apnea and TMJ disorders works best as a team, bridging medicine and dentistry.
Our Collaborative Approach
Led by Dr. Luke Bauserman, DDS, D.ABDSM, CCSH, our practice focuses on advanced oral appliance therapy and comprehensive jaw joint care. We offer a comfortable, quiet, well-tolerated option for patients who struggle with traditional therapy or compliance.
Clinical Updates
We keep referring physicians informed throughout treatment.
Objective Data
We track progress with advanced monitoring technology.
Coordinated Care
We coordinate adjustments and complement your primary diagnosis.
Streamlining Referrals
To refer a patient for a medically necessary oral sleep appliance or a jaw evaluation, please send our completed referral paperwork with standard clinical documentation.
- A completed referral form with contact details, height, weight, and relevant medical history
- Complete medical insurance or Medicare information
- Face-to-face chart notes on sleep apnea symptoms, airway structure, or documented intolerance to alternative therapies, ideally from the past 6–12 months
- A copy of the baseline sleep study report
Once we receive these, our team contacts the patient promptly, guides them through pre-authorization, explains coverage, and schedules the consultation.
The Patient Journey
We've built a warm, anxiety-free office. At the first visit, we review the patient's history and sleep study or jaw symptoms, and explain oral appliance therapy in plain language.
Digital scanning and imaging help us design custom-fit appliances for comfort, alignment, and effectiveness. For overlapping jaw problems, our TMJ diagnosis approach addresses airway health and joint stability together.
