Phoenix, AZ – One of the fastest growing areas in dentistry, dental sleep medicine is also a source of annoyance and deflated expectations for a lot of Dentists who have invested in courses and equipment , only to leave with no clear plan of how to incorporate dental sleep into their practice.
The American Sleep and Breathing Academy “ASBA” Study club seminars redefine what a successful dental sleep weekend course is. The Study club is led by ASBA Diplomates “D’ASBA” who concentrate on helping attendees learn the skills to implement sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.
One main difference is the ASBA Study club does not allow product specific presentations unless competitive or comparable products are also presented, which provides context and encourages free discourse as to clinical yield best practices and enhanced revenue models.
American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 1 Overview
The first day of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club offers an exciting opportunity for professionals to deepen their knowledge and expand their network in the field of sleep medicine. Day 1 typically features a combination of presentations, interactive workshops, and discussions led by experts in the field.

American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 2 Overview
Day 2 of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club builds on the momentum of Day 1, delving deeper into advanced topics and specialized practices within sleep medicine. The second day is structured to provide attendees with further education and practical strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Key highlights include:
Each presenter at the Study Club presents their personal strategic plan, and shares the key decision points that make or break a new practice. This helps attendees test their understanding of the standard of practice employed by the ASBA Diplomate through open discussion.
Each of the Diplomates have successful robust sleep practices in excess of $1.5M annually, no two are the same, each study club will have minimum of 3 DASBA presenters. There is a tremendous amount of personalized advice and specific step-by-step instructions to aid the Study Club Member in achieving success with their sleep business.
“Training Sleep Apnea Dentistry has become rife with folks overstating their abilities and experience. Selling substandard equipment at inflated prices to an unsuspecting group of clinicians who simply want to treat their patients.”
David Gergen, CDT
“This past weekend over half of the attendees had attended more than one vendor sponsored seminar in the last year. As a group none of the attendees had managed to achieve any traction with sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.” Eugene Azuma, DDS
