Holly Ellis, DDS, D.ABDSM
Dr. Ellis has been practicing dentistry in St. Louis for over 15 years and has been treating sleep apnea patients for more than 5 years. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
How we breathe while we sleep and the impact that can have on overall health, including heart health, is critically important. Dr. Ellis believes strongly that the mouth is the gateway to a healthy body. This commitment to overall health is what has led her to work with and treat patients suffering from sleep apnea. To do this, Dr. Ellis has taken over 100 additional hours of specialized coursework to study and apply the different treatment options for sleep apnea.
Dr. Ellis holds a degree in Cell and Molecular Biology from Missouri State University and a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri - Kansas City.
