Meet Dr. Waite

Dr. Jared Waite is a general dentist in Colorado Springs who also specializes in treating patients suffering from mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). He is an active member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, and the Colorado Sleep Society. He has invested years of advanced training in and education on the subject of sleep apnea and has become expert at successfully treating sufferers of OSA or snoring with oral appliance therapy. Dr. Waite has helped hundreds of patients regain a life and freedom they never imagined possible when first diagnosed with OSA. More than 40 percent of Dr. Waite’s practice is devoted to treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing using oral appliances.

In early 2010, Dr. Waite founded Aspen Ridge Sleep Solutions to help not only his current general dentistry patients but also many others throughout Southern Colorado who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Waite’s dental sleep medicine career was started through advanced and extensive training from many of the founders of dental sleep medicine, who have practiced for decades. Dr. Waite has also dedicated himself to becoming an expert in this industry by learning and advancing his education in this rapidly evolving field. Each year since starting Aspen Ridge Sleep Solutions, Dr. Waite has taken more than 100 hours annually of advanced continuing education in dental sleep medicine. He frequently attends annual academy meetings as well as other sleep forum meetings to stay current with the latest practice protocols and techniques. This helps him know the best methodology to most effectively treat all people who suffer from sleep apnea and snoring, as well as how to help each patient maximize medical insurance benefits for individualized situations. This has set him apart as an expert in Colorado in treating sleep disordered breathing using oral appliance therapy.

For your optimal health, Dr. Waite practices a team approach when it comes to treating your unique sleep apnea or snoring condition. He works closely with many general physicians and sleep specialists in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas, which enables him to maximize positive results (see our testimonials). He has had great success helping patients who have struggled with CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) therapy find new solutions and freedoms they felt they did not have previously. He has an extensive knowledge of the dozens of oral sleep appliances on the market and is very effective at treating each patient’s case individually. Through his research, Dr. Waite has become well versed in the proper appliance for each patient’s unique case. He has studied extensively to help his patients solve, or at least minimize, their sleep apnea and snoring problems. Dr. Waite offers a number of solutions for these difficult problems, not just the one or two oral devices other practices offer. This distinction reflects his dedication to both patients and the profession–from his selection of effective appliances to his commitment to practicing evidenced-based care.
