★★★★★
Dr. Tamara Sardar and her staff at Platinum Sleep and TMJ Disorder Center in Bellingham, WA are knowledgeable, compassionate, and provide excellent and thorough patient care. I was seen for a mandibular advancement device to support my sleep wellness and snoring. From the initial imaging to the final fitting for the device, Dr. Sardar explained each step of the way, as well as the scientific rationale behind it. I appreciated this because I was nervous and unsure about wearing the device during sleep. Her kindness and warmth were reassuring and supportive. I have successfully been wearing the device for about a month now. It has become second nature and I barely remember it’s there. Thank you to Dr. Sardar and her staff for a smooth experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this

So far so good! TMJ pain of 3 years immediately relieved. We have more work to do for permanent solution but right now I am pain free and excited to remain that way! The entire team is kind, warm, and welcoming. The office is clean and professional. I will add to this review once my treatment is complete. But so far, so good. I feel silly I didn’t go in sooner!

My experience with Dr. Tamara and her team has been extremely positive. The entire staff took excellent care of me throughout the process. I have suffered from chronic temporal headaches for many years, and after neurological treatments failed to provide relief, I was advised to seek an evaluation from an orofacial pain specialist. Dr. Tamara took the time to carefully explain my X-ray results and discuss the recommended treatment plan. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate in her approach. I truly appreciated the attention and care I received from her and her team. I would highly recommend this service to anyone seeking specialized orofacial pain care.

What to expect at a sleep study appointment

For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine
What does Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine do?
Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine is a sleep medicine clinic in Bellingham, WA that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Platinum Orofacial Pain, TMJ, and Dental Sleep Medicine?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
