AMANDA, Ohio — Amanda Family Dental and its sister company, Amanda Airway and Wellness, have expanded their services with the addition of advanced airway diagnostic technology.
The practice has introduced the Eccovision Acoustic Diagnostic Imaging System, featuring both the acoustic pharyngometer and acoustic rhinometer, allowing clinicians to perform precise, non-invasive airway evaluations. Using sound wave reflection, the system measures airway size and function in the throat and nasal passages in real time, helping identify areas of restriction that may contribute to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
In addition to acoustic airway diagnostics, the practice offers CBCT airway scans for detailed three-dimensional imaging of the airway, providing a comprehensive understanding of each patient’s unique anatomy.
Through Amanda Airway and Wellness, the team now provides:
Oral appliance therapy for obstructive sleep apnea
Pediatric airway screenings
Orofacial myofunctional disorder screenings
Collaboration with sleep physicians to coordinate at-home sleep studies
Ongoing airway monitoring and treatment follow-up
“Sleep-disordered breathing often goes undiagnosed, especially in small communities,” said Dr. Alyssa Jenkins of Amanda Family Dental and Amanda Airway and Wellness. “As a healthcare provider, I believe we have a responsibility to look beyond teeth and evaluate the whole patient. By investing in advanced airway diagnostics and collaborating with sleep physicians, we can help identify issues earlier and offer personalized treatment options that truly improve quality of life. Studies show obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to serious health concerns including cardiovascular disease, decreased cognitive performance and chronic fatigue. Bringing this level of technology to Amanda allows our community to access comprehensive airway and sleep care close to home.”
Dental Sleep Medicine offers a comfortable alternative for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or are seeking additional treatment options. By working closely with physicians, the practice ensures patients receive medically appropriate testing and comprehensive care.
