As a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine—the only dentist with this certification in Plymouth, Massachusetts—Dr. MacDonald is uniquely qualified to treat sleep-related breathing disorders. She is also on staff at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth, making her one of only three dentists in the region with this prestigious designation.

Whether you’ve struggled with traditional treatments like CPAP or want to explore alternatives to surgery, we offer comprehensive care that promotes better sleep and a better quality of life.
Because getting a good night’s sleep is so important, when a spouse snores, has restless legs and is constantly on the move, sleep becomes an issue for both parties. Often, one leaves the bedroom. That’s call a “sleep divorce”. We help couples stay together and enable both to have a sound, restful and rejuvenating sleep.
Get Started TodaySleep apnea is a serious condition that affects more than just your sleep. Left untreated, it can lead to significant health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even stroke. Unfortunately, many patients find it difficult to tolerate the CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, the standard treatment for sleep apnea.
At Plymouth Center for Dental Health and Wellness, we offer oral appliance therapy, a comfortable and effective alternative to CPAP for treating mild to moderate sleep apnea and snoring. These custom-fitted devices are designed to keep your airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and preventing the dangerous pauses in breathing that characterize sleep apnea.
Dr. MacDonald’s extensive training and certification in dental sleep medicine mean that you’re receiving care from a true expert in the field. Her designation as a Diplomate reflects her commitment to excellence in treating sleep-related breathing disorders. Additionally, her role on staff at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth ensures that you receive hospital-level expertise and care, supported by the latest in sleep medicine technology.

"I needed a Dental appliance for sleep apnea and have nothing but praise for Dr MacDonald and her staff for making the experience very comfortable in all areas of the process. The staff was very professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the process. The office was very comfortable and and immaculate. An overall pleasant and professional experience."
"After missing a scheduled appointment early in the covid shutdown,, I was relieved to return to Dr. Mac for my routine cleaning, exam, and oral appliance (for sleep apnea) maintenance. Naturally, a bit of apprehension crept into my thoughts. However, the pre-visit protocal, as well as the in-office procedures placed me totally at ease, and the same cheerful and professional service that makes this practice so very special has not been lost. Thank you Dr Mac!...and the entire staff."
"Excellent experience with Dr. MacDonald and staff. Saw them for treatment of sleep apnea - she made a dental appliance for me - hopefully to delay using a CPAP."
" Most recently upon a visit, I noticed a small post in the hygienist office. It had said “do you snore?” I asked about it because I knew I did! The short side of the story is she referred me to another excellent doctor, I had a sleep study in the hospital, it showed I had close to a severe case plus developing heart arrhythmias! It’s only been three months since I started on my CPAP and I can’t believe the overall difference in my health. I also learned that sleep apnea can cause problems with my gums. Who knew?"
