Refer a Patient

The Problem You Know Well

Your Referrals Disappear. Dentulu Fixes That.

You diagnose OSA. You recommend oral appliance therapy. You write the referral note. And thensilence. Your patient may or may not follow through. If they do, you rarely receive an update. If they don't, their sleep apnea goes untreated, and their cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive risk compounds.

Dentulu Sleep replaces this broken chain with a coordinated digital pathway that tracks every patient from your referral through their final treatment outcomeand keeps you informed throughout.

What Physicians Tell Us About the Current System

"I don't know what happens to my patients after I refer them for OAT."

"I can't find a reliable dental partner who accepts medical insurance."

"My CPAP-intolerant patients have nowhere to go that I trust."

"There's no standardized follow-up or outcome data coming back to me."
