Do Sleep RIGHT and Diplomate Review with "Apnea Destroyer" Dr. Jerry Hu - Dec 5th
2025-12-05 08:00 - 2025-12-06 17:00 (America/Phoenix) | Hilton Phoenix Airport, 2435 S 47th St, Phoenix, AZ, 85034, United States
Overview
Dental sleep medicine is one of the fastest-growing fields in dentistry, but it has also been a source of frustration for many dentists. After investing in courses and equipment, many are left without a clear strategy for integrating dental sleep services into their practice, leading to unmet expectations.
Sleep apnea affects an estimated one billion people worldwide, though only one in five cases is diagnosed. The dental office is often the first place where a detailed examination of the oropharyngeal airway occurs. In 2017, the American Dental Association recognized the essential role of dental offices in identifying and managing sleep apnea, recommending comprehensive evaluations of airway anatomy and function as part of routine dental care.
This official American Sleep and Breathing Academy "ASBA" course provides a turnkey introduction for dental practitioners to incorporate sleep dentistry into their practice.

ASBA Courses and Instructors
American Sleep and Breathing Academy “ASBA” courses are redefining successful weekend courses in dental sleep medicine. ASBA courses are led by hugely experienced ASBA Diplomates (D'ASBA), focusing on equipping attendees with the necessary skills to integrate sleep apnea dentistry into their practice. A key distinction lies in the Academy's policy: it prohibits vendor-specific presentations unless they include competitive or comparable products. This approach fosters open discussions on clinical best practices and revenue enhancement models, promoting a comprehensive understanding among participants.

ASBA Diplomates
Each Diplomate instructor also 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.

Real World Practices
Each of the Diplomate Presenters have successful robust sleep practices in excess of $1.5M annually, no two are the same, each course will have minimum of 3 D'ASBA presenters. There is a tremendous amount of personalized advice and specific step-by-step instructions to aid course attendees in achieving success with their fledging 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, ASBA
“This past weekend more than 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.” Rudi Ferrate, ASBA
ASBA courses are more than a series of presentations. The Academy is your ally that helps our members build their practice using our proven methods. All courses are taught by the most successful Dentists who have built sleep practices with annual revenue over $1.5 MM.
ASBA courses are unique, affordable, and designed to give you the tools to preform at the level of the mentors. Many past participants have left many of our courses saying that it was the most vital, essential & powerful dental sleep learning event they’ve ever attended!

Diplomate Review with Dr. Jerry Hu - Phoenix, AZ

Course Presenters and Description:
Taught by Board Certified ASBA Instructor Dr. Jerry Hu, – Review Course for ASBA Diplomate Certification

The American Board of Sleep and Breathing (ABSB) is an independent organization that provides a Diplomate designation for American Sleep and Breathing Academy "ASBA" member/doctors who provide evidence of knowledge and skill in the provision of oral appliance therapy for sleep and breathing disorders.
The ABSB is a collective of physician and dentist contributors who provide their expertise and experience in developing and applying testing/evaluation of dentists seeking recognition for their education in sleep medicine and their expertise in provision of oral appliance therapy for sleep and breathing disorders.
The mission is to provide physician colleagues and the public with knowledgeable and skilled dental practitioners in the field of sleep medicine through the process of Diplomate designation.

Diplomacy Verifies Dentists’ Sleep-Related Knowledge and Expertise
Doctors should seek out certification primarily because the Dental Sleep Medicine “DSM” field needs consistency and outcome-based care. In the not so distant future, reimbursement will likely be based on results. The American Sleep and Breathing Academy (ASBA) is made up of providers who have been providing oral appliance therapy in the medical model for decades. Many ASBA members are pioneers in the field.
ASBA members can help doctors to better understand current health care issues and tomorrow’s model of healthcare. As we look to the future, it is likely going to be mandatory that doctors attain a certification within DSM. The ASBA is an inclusive organization. This is especially important when it comes to certification, because we believe all of our doctors should be certified.
DSM is a unique arena for dentists to practice. According to most states’ Dental Practice Acts, dentists are allowed to diagnose and treat dental disease as needed. However, in the DSM arena, this is not the case. In the DSM arena, dentists are allowed to treat life threatening medical conditions after they have been diagnosed by physicians. Physicians are obligated to provide the best care for their patients, therefore they must be overly fastidious when it comes to referrals. Physicians are required to be certified in their field, and certification for sleep dentists will eventually be mandatory.
2025 Diplomate Written Exam
The ASBA Diplomate Written Exam is scheduled after the Review course on Saturday afternoon October 11th, in Phoenix, AZ. If you are a candidate who needs to complete the Written portion to achieve Diplomate Status, and are also committed to being the best in the field of DSM, register using the button below.
