Last week, Dr. Utterback attended the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine annual meeting in Chicago, where he spent three days learning about the latest advancements in sleep health.

In addition to the educational sessions, he enjoyed reconnecting with colleagues from across the country who also provide oral appliance therapy for their patients.

He’s excited to put all those new insights to good use! 🦷💤

We’re excited to share that Dr. Utterback is participating in a live webinar TONIGHT with ProSomnus Sleep Technologies!

He will be part of a panel of industry leaders discussing how innovative oral appliance therapy is transforming patient engagement and outcomes in sleep apnea care. This is a great opportunity to learn more about non-CPAP solutions and how technology is enhancing the patient experience.

If you’re interested in the future of sleep medicine and oral appliance therapy, this is one you won’t want to miss!

Dr. Utterback's oldest daughter, Laurel, is wrapping up her second year of law school at Case Western Reserve University. To Dr. Utterback's surprise, Laurel chose to follow in her dad's footsteps by focusing on sleep apnea for her note, a law school thesis that she constructed comprising 47 pages 😳.

Her Note, "DoT the I's and Cross the T's: A Wake-up Call for Transportation Safety," explores the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea among commercial drivers and proposes legal solutions to improve safety. Her work earned "Note of the Year" at CWRU and will be published in Volume 37 of Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine, one of the nation's leading health law journals.

Laurel is looking forward to gaining more experience in corporate, healthcare, and transportation law as a 2026 Summer Associate at Benesch Law in downtown Cleveland. Great work, Laurel!

Happy Birthday, Janelle! 🎉

From 2005 to now…

Janelle has worked side by side with Dr. Utterback for almost 21 years — and these throwback photos make it even more special to look back on! 🤍

From the early days of general practice to the transition into Dental Sleep Solutions, she’s been right there every step of the way.

Her dedication, consistency, and the way she shows up for both our team and our patients does not go unnoticed.

We are so grateful for everything she brings to our office each and every day.

Help us wish Janelle a very Happy Birthday!!

⏰ Spring Forward & Sleep Better 😴🌷

March is Sleep Awareness Month, but also brings us the time change. That change can make it hard for our bodies to adjust.

If you struggle with snoring, morning headaches, or waking up tired, it may be time to take a closer look at your sleep health.

🌞 Tips to help with Daylight Saving Time:
• Get morning sunlight
• Go to bed a little earlier
• Exercise during the day
• Keep a consistent sleep schedule

Better sleep is possible! If you or someone you love snores or struggles with sleep, we are here to help.

It’s been busy in the world of dental sleep medicine!
Dr. Utterback started off at Transform Dental Sleep in Scottsdale, an incredible few days of learning, collaboration, and connecting with colleagues who are just as passionate about airway and sleep as he is.
Dr. Utterback even managed to squeeze in a round of golf with some dental sleep medicine friends! And, best of all, he got some quality time visiting his dad. Perfect blend of professional growth and personal time.
Then this past weekend, Dr. Utterback was in Chicago for an advanced TMD conference, diving deeper into complex cases and expanding the tools we use to help patients find relief.
Where to next?✈️

We’re proud to share that Dr. Utterback got to spend time volunteering at Gibbs Elementary for Give Kids a Smile Day! 🦷🩵

It’s an honor to give back and be able to support the next generation of healthy smiles! 😄
