Are you constantly being told to quiet your snoring? Does your partner sleep in the other room because they can’t deal with the noise? You think it’s harmless, but do you know snoring can be the sign of a more serious problem?
More Than a Snore
“Obstructive sleep apnea is common. Making jokes about your spouse’s snoring may seem funny, but snoring is not normal or healthy. When your breathing becomes obstructed (snoring) or stops (sleep apnea), even for a short while, it can have severe health risks.” – Dr. Higgins

Why choose us? When you visit our practice, you’re not just a body in the dental chair; you are part of the family. We take a comprehensive approach to all types of dentistry, including sleep apnea.
This information is secure and
we will never spam you.
The Real Issue
Loud snoring is often caused by sleep apnea, a condition where the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes when you sleep, obstructing your airway. Since they can’t breath, sleep apnea sufferers are constantly waking up throughout the night, fighting for air. Left untreated, sleep apnea can result in serious health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
Still not sure if you have sleep apnea?
These are some common symptoms related to the condition:
Dry Mouth or Sore Throat
Constant Exhaustion
Inability to Focus
Moodiness & Irritability

At about 32 years into operating your own business, many business owners start to think about the next chapter of their life in retirement. But not Dr. Higgins and Dr. Holsinger. Instead, we are moving full steam ahead with our eye toward innovation and a heart full of energy and enthusiasm — the qualities often found when launching a new practice. In line with the practice’s strategic goal to strive for excellence in improving overall health and well being of its patients, we have invested more than 18 months for advanced training to incorporate sleep dentistry services into the practice.
“We are concerned about our patient’s long-term good health so when we see a problem, we ask questions. Since many people see their dentists more often than their primary care doctors, dentists are in a unique position to identify possible sleep disorders.” – Dr. Higgins
Return to Sound Sleep
If ignored, sleep apnea can increase your risk of:
Hypertension and stroke
Heart disease and heart attacks
Mood disorders such as depression and anxiety
Exhaustion that can lead to personal safety issues
As dentists, we have the ability to treat sleep apnea and restore your well being. While CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines are commonly used to treat this condition, we have a better solution that doesn’t involve this cumbersome machine.

Call Today! (410) 364-4922
“The CPAP (a machine that provides continuous positive airway pressure) is 100 percent effective to give a person oxygen while they sleep, but compliance is a problem with the typical CPAP machine. Once a patient is diagnosed with snoring or sleep apnea, many times we can provide him or her with a dental oral appliance that helps them not only breathe better and get a good night’s sleep, but also can improve their overall health. Making our patients healthier has been a major tenet of our practice from day one.” – Dr. Holsinger

Advantages of Oral Appliances
CPAP machines can be more of a hassle than a help. Why trade in the noise of snoring for the noise of a CPAP? Simple, and discrete oral appliances are just as effective at treating sleep apnea without the drawbacks of a clunky machine.
We fit our sleep apnea patients with an oral appliance that is worn while they sleep. It provides relief from snoring and the associated symptoms of sleep apnea. Additionally, the advantages of an oral appliance include:
- Travel made easy, no need to drag around a machine.
- Doesn’t add unwanted noise. Your partner will thank you!
- Allows you to get a comfortable night’s sleep in your preferred position. You aren’t restricted to lying only on your back.
Get the Facts
Sleep apnea is a common breathing disorder. 1 in 5 people suffer from the condition. Knowing the facts about sleep apnea will help you make a better informed decision regarding treatment.
Are You At Risk?
We see sleep apnea patients of all ages, but most commonly in males over the age of 40. There are several other factors that can increase the likelihood of having sleep apnea, as well. Recognize any of these?
- Excessive weight
- A neck circumference that is 17 inches or greater
- Larger than average sized tongue or tonsils
- Having a cold, allergies, or sinus infection that causes nasal blockage
- Family history of sleep apnea
Concerned about the long term health impacts of sleep apnea?
We are happy to discuss treatment options with you. Call our office today for a consultation.

Nobody Says It Better Than Our Patients
Went to see them for an issue I was having. They listened to me and my concerns, took X-rays and showed me with a camera what was wrong. Scheduled me to come back to take care of the issue. I felt very relaxed and comfortable with the staff and doctor.Went back for a crown replacement and it was the best experience I’ve had getting the crown. Crown fits perfectly with my retainer and no discomfort whatsoever. So happy I found this dentist! The care was amazing!

They are great at dentistry but they really make sure to treat their clients holistically, and make sure not only their dental but their overall health are all inline. Dr. Higgins gets to know her patients very well and takes special care to make sure you are comfortable and that you always know and have the best information for your best overall dental health. They call you in the evenings after your treatment to make sure everything is good. I trust them and know that my teeth are in the best hands. Couldn’t recommend more!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was very pleased with my visit to Smiles by Holsinger & Higgins. I was greeted by the kindest folks behind the desk. Abby then took me in immediately even though I was 30 minutes early. She assured me that they would take care of my dentist-phobia throughout the whole process. Abby answered all my questions at length. For the first time ever I’m looking forward to returning to the dentist.

Dr Holsinger removed one upper molar with a cracked root. It was completed in 1 hr with no pain and after the numbing wore off, I only had a little discomfort caused by the removal and stitches in the gums. I only took Ibuprofen for any pain. What a great dentist.

He takes the time to explain and talk about ANY health concerns you may have.His staff is top notch can’t say enough about them. He even calls his patients the night of their procedures to see if they are ok from his Personal cell phone number. I found him looking for dentist that offered sedation but now feel so confortable with him i no longer need it.2021 Update Dr. Holisinger is great. Does not mind explaining everything to you and has a sense of humor. I have been going to him now for a long time. I drive a hour just to have him do my work.

Oh I love Dr. Holsigner and his staff! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! If Dr. Holsigner’s prices went up to million dollars per visit, I’d get more jobs to pay for the bill. That is how much I love my dentist and his staff. Never would I even chance to go anywhere else.

As always my visit to Smiles was extremely positive. From the receptionists to the hygienist, to the assistants, to the dentists everyone is very pleasant, concerned, knowledgeable, and upbeat. I always enjoy going to Smiles and their services are number one!August 18I just finished getting a cracked crown replaced. The extraction of old crown was very painless using their numbing apparatus, earphones, and relaxing cream. I don't know how they do it but it works great. The new crown came in early so they had me come in just before their vacation so I didn't have to wait an extra two weeks. Went in at 5 o'clock and comfortably done by 5:30. As always great service by very professional and personable staff.June 2021Had a thorough cleaning today. Hygienist noticed some dark spots near my veneers so after 26 years of use I'm going to have 6 veneers replaced and the under teeth checked for cavities. Pricey but I trust Dr. Holsinger completely--if he says they need replacing that's all I need.
Janet Garrett

Today Abby the hygienist had her work cut out for her as I missed a regular dental appointment due to COVID-19. She was gentle and did an outstanding job. My teeth feel so good and I asked if I could come every four months so I could have this “oh so clean” smile three times a year instead of my usual two. Love how great this feels.

Next comes the doctor, who is the most down to earth, and explains as he continues with his exam . Never felt a pain,,, and procedure was over in five .minutes. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this group 100. THEY REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS AND IT SHINES THROUGH.

My husband recently had some dental work done. It took several months and many visits, but the end results were amazing. They staff is very pleasant. They take the time to explain all the appointments made and what can be done about payments. After one of the visits where my husband had a major amount of work done, the doctor personally called to check on my husband later that evening. This office definitely enjoys what they do and it shows in the treatment of their patients.

Dr. Holsinger is able to put his patients at ease, not only by his cheerful, positive attitude, but also by his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for his profession. His state-of-the-art equipment and realistic approach to dentistry makes even the most trepidacious patient relax. Additionally, his staff is warm, friendly, and well informed. Without exception, they all listen carefully and respectfully and work hard to meet the patients' needs.

I have neglected going to the dentist for years because of my fear of dental offices. Everyone here made me feel right at home from my first visit and I can’t express enough how awesome this dental office is!! I have had some intensive work done the past months and I never felt more at ease with all the procedures. Didn’t experience any pain, they explained everything to me so all my questions were answered and absolutely love the results. Highly highly recommend this wonderful dental office!!

It is always a friendly, peaceful, and relaxing experience at Smiles. I never experience that awful pain during my visits (like I had at every other dentist), no matter what work I need to have done on my teeth. Dr. Holsinger is gentle and very good at what he does. He is by far the best dentist I have ever had and his work is simply beautiful.

I HATE the dentist - like gripping the chair, stressed out at even just a cleaning. The staff here and Dr. Higgins always make me feel comfortable and welcomed! Abby is as gentle as can be and keeps me distracted during my least favorite parts through friendly conversation. I see Dr. Higgins every time and she always asks about my family before even speaking about my exam. It's nice to have a dental team from front desk staff to the experts that care about the pateint first. Super refreshing! I highly recommend their sedation treatment if you aren't a dentist fan like me and need to get a lot of work done at once.

This was my second visit to see Dr. Holsinger. I was scheduled for a route canal. This was a painless procedure, as promised to me by staff during my previous visit. My first, best experience ever, with a procedure at a dentist office. The healthcare system should look closely at the office of Smiles By Holsinger & Higgins as the perfect model of patient centered healthcare practice. This entire staff is professional, knowledgeable, kind and genuinely understanding of the patients needs and concerns. They all, are remarkably efficient, with an extraordinary teamwork approach to getting the job done!!!! Thank you all, at Smiles By Holsinger & Higgins the first dentist office to which I can feel safe, and trust the care provided is for my health benefit.

It was amazing,from the first phone call to the treatment. Everyone was sincerely, and genuine invested in my care and comfort. I have Never been treated so well in my 58 years of living. I felt like a celebrity, but as I looked around and listen, this is the normal manner to which all patients are treated. I've been telling everyone I know about my experience.

Everyone that works in that office is nothing but a professional. Extremely helpful and always polite. Moved to Maryland a few years ago and I found the best Dentist I’ve ever been to. Every procedure I’ve ever had done Dr. Holsinger has always called me personally to ask how I’m doing afterwards. Their attitude and the way I’m treated makes me look forward to going to the dentist.

I love everyone here. From the dentists and hygienists to the front desk staff. They are all super friendly and knowledgeable. They run a tight ship as far as appointments go and it is much appreciated. There is very little wait time if any and the technology used is always up to date if not ahead of its time. Very cutting edge.

I love this place!!! I wish I could give it a 10 star rating, but that's alright because I know in my heart. The whole staff is very unique and are very family oriented , which I simply love!!! I can talk and laugh with them like I have known them forever!!! 🙂 I call this place "Dentist Wonderland"!!! When I fist pulled into the driveway I thought I was at the wrong place because it looked like a cozy, warm cottage tucked away in the quiet country setting. I said to myself, "Oh wow I cannot believe this place!! This is Smiles by Holsinger and Higgins?!" I was very impressed how each and every one is so cordial, serviceable, knowledgeable, and understanding even when extremely busy!!! They are comprehensive. I felt like I was in Johns Hopkins hospital because of all their updated and wide variety of equipment!!! It was such an amazing experience!!! They even have bird feeders outside each window which is so calming and peaceful!!! Even though I was already fully relaxed and experienced absolutely no fear at all!!! The equipment wanted me to stay longer just to see how it all worked!!! I was/am very intrigued!!! I completed my second appointment today and I am already looking forward to my next visit soon!!!!! It's just that kind of place!!! Oh, another thing that I am absolutely thrilled about is that everything that I need/want done can ALL be done right here!!!!! No long trips across the bridge or Salisbury!!! THANK YOU DR'S HOLSINGER AND HIGGINS!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!! AWE!!! One more VERY SPECIAL service of love that drew my attention as I was leaving, that I saw Dr. Higgins pulling out a wheel chair for a dear elderly lady!!! Who does that anymore!!!!????? God bless you in a VERY SPECIAL WAY DR. HIGGINS!!!! As I keep getting ready to sign off, I keep having another special and fond memory. As it seemed the party was over {LOL} when I got into my car, I was in no hurry to leave {very unusual for me when leaving a Dentist office} I just sat in my car mesmerized by the unusual and unique experience that I had, and admiring the peaceful surroundings and setting. As I sat down in the waiting room, I picked up a book about and on Dr. Holsinger and Dr. Higgins. I praised Dr. Higgins about just the little bit that I had time to read. That I am VERY impressed with ALL their accomplishments and for what they do for humanity!!! I said it takes a lot to impress me, and you REALLY have impressed me!!! Dr. Higgins humbly replied, "That's how we were raised." May God abundantly bless you both for all that you do, in Jesus name, amen!!! I thank God for you!!!! Sincerely, TC

I have never been a fan of the dental community. Only going if ABSOLUTELY necessary. It had been at least 6 years since I had even seen a dentist. My teeth have been failing for a few years and now that I have a good dental plan I started seeking out a local dentist. I deceided to give Holsinger & Higgins a try. When I met the staff I instantly felt at ease and and welcome. I cannot say enough good things about them.
