Our office can provide an alternative to CPAP or surgery for the treatment of snoring, sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome with the fabrication of a dental device or oral appliance.

Our Practice
Dr. Blumenstock has practiced in Monroe Township since 1978. He received his undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and his dental degree from Columbia University in 1975. His post-graduate general practice residency was completed at Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center in New York City. From the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Blumenstock has been awarded both the Fellowship and Mastership Awards. To earn the Mastership Award he first had to obtain Academy General Dentistry fellowship status by passing an exam and completing 500 course hours within 10 years. To earn a mastership one must complete 600 additional hours, 400 of which must be earned through "hands on" courses.

Appointed to Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Medicine, UMDNJ, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Dr. Blumenstock serves as the dental consultant to the medical school faculty practice at UMDNJ where he evaluates those patients who snore and/or have sleep apnea or hypopnea, and would benefit by use of an dental, oral airway appliances or devices.

Patient Care
Dr. Blumenstock and staff function in cooperation with a medical sleep team that includes Sleep Physicians and other specialists such as Neurologists, Pulmonologists and Ear, Nose, & Throat Specialists. Since snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are medical problems, we require an objective medical assessment as a prerequisite for everyone seeking oral appliance therapy. Following referral from a physician, our patients are thoroughly examined in the dental setting by Dr. Blumenstock. All options, advantages, limitations and consequences are discussed. After fitting the appropriate oral appliance, several weeks may be needed to correctly adjust the appliance to a comfortable and effective position. Then a follow up evaluation by the referring physician is recommended to objectively document the effectiveness of the therapy. We like to see all our sleep patients twice per year long-term during active treatment to ensure the integrity of the oral structures and continued effectiveness of the treatment.
