A childhood escape over dark mountains taught Dar one lesson he couldn’t forget: sleep can be a matter of survival. Years later, a crash caused by undiagnosed sleep apnea turned that lesson into a mission. We sit down with Dr. Dar Radfar to unpack how he transformed personal adversity into a repeatable playbook that helps dentists deliver better sleep, stronger health outcomes, and real lifestyle freedom.
We explore the full arc: spotting airway red flags chairside, simplifying home sleep testing without buying equipment, and coaching teams to keep sleep top of mind. Dar breaks down why CPAP compliance struggles, when oral appliances outperform, and how combination therapy reduces pressure and boosts comfort for severe cases. He shares plain-language scripts that win medical doctor referrals, a billing partner model that only charges when you get paid, and the marketing touchpoints that bring motivated, pre-diagnosed patients through the door. With average appliance fees around $2,500 to $3,000 and lab costs near $450, he shows how practices can earn a seven-to-one ROI while protecting their necks and backs from heavy procedures.
Beyond the numbers, this is about impact: quieter nights, safer sleep, partners who finally rest, and clinicians who reclaim time. Dar now practices six days a month, mentors his associate on restorative work, and pours energy into speaking and coaching so more teams can deliver airway care with confidence. If you’ve wondered how to add sleep apnea treatment without chaos, this conversation gives you the structure, the language, and the mindset to start.
