Dr. Barry Chase, DDS, is a renowned expert in dental sleep medicine, specializing in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD). With over 40 years of experience, he is board-certified by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and serves as an adjunct professor at Stony Brook University, where he teaches oral appliance therapy in the Respiratory Care and Polysomnography programs.
In 2009, Dr. Chase founded Chase Dental SleepCare, a practice dedicated exclusively to dental sleep medicine. Under his leadership, the practice has expanded to 13 locations across the New York metropolitan area, including Manhattan, Long Island, and the Bronx . His innovative approach combines clinical excellence with a deep understanding of patient care, focusing on personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each individual.
Dr. Chase's commitment to improving patient outcomes is evident in his approach to reducing the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), a critical measure of sleep apnea severity. He emphasizes that successful treatment involves more than just lowering AHI scores; it requires a holistic understanding of the patient's health, lifestyle, and compliance with therapy. Through careful selection and adjustment of oral appliances, he has achieved significant reductions in AHI for many patients, leading to improved sleep quality and overall health.
Patients have reported transformative experiences under Dr. Chase's care. One patient, previously unable to tolerate CPAP therapy, found relief through a custom oral appliance, leading to better sleep and enhanced quality of life . Another patient experienced a dramatic lifestyle change, losing 30 pounds and regaining energy after receiving treatment for severe OSA.
Dr. Chase's philosophy centers on the idea that "in dental sleep care, we make great dreams possible." His dedication to patient-centered care and his innovative approach to treating sleep-disordered breathing have made him a leading figure in the field of dental sleep medicine.
