Breathing and Sleep Center of Colorado Springs

Breathe Right.

Sleep Well.

LIVE BETTER.

We host regular meetings to educate patients on the appliances, technology and procedures we offer with the goal of improving your life.

It is possible to achieve restful sleep.

At Breathing and Sleep Center of Colorado Springs, we diagnose and treat breathing and sleep disorders caused by airway restriction due to underdeveloped jaws. Our team of trained, experienced dentists offer non-surgical treatments that allow our patients to restore and regain their sleep and quality of life.

We begin by identifying the underlying cause(s) of your breathing and sleep-related issues and then outline your treatment plan. All patients’ needs vary, which is why we customize each treatment plan to fit your specific diagnosis. Our first step is to have you visit our center and attend one of our Patient Education Meetings to learn more about your options. Call Today or Submit a Form!

What Our Patients Are Saying!

My initial sleep evaluation and setup by Dr. Lee Smith were exceptional. Complete and thorough attention to detail to my needs and concerns. Excellent Q&A session about the dental appliance for sleep care and apnea. I've been on the program for 2 months now and I am seeing improvements. If you need assistance in sleep care and sleep breathing, see Dr. Lee Smith.

Dr. Erlander, Dr. Smith and staff are true professionals. Easy to work with very knowledgeable and they use only the best state-of-the-art Equipment. They have your best interest in mind at all times. I Highly recommend the Breathing and Sleep Center. Top-notch.

Dr. Goles’ office is excellent, and they are addressing sleep difficulties like snoring with a genuine cure, not just treating symptoms. This treatment is not yet well known but important and so far I’ve found effective. There’s more time required for me still but I know enough now to say you have to try this, and these folks know what they’re doing.

Ever since I became a patient here, I knew I was in good hands. I have mostly been seen by Dr. Erlander but also on occasion by Dr. Smith. They've been very kind, honest and professional in all aspects of my care. They have the most advanced equipment and keep up with the latest advances in the field. Also the staff has really been great to work with as well including Tami H., Jennifer R., Alexa R., Jennifer Q., & Sheila Z. Although I travel from the southside of Pueblo (about an hour drive) it's well worth the trip to get this type of care. Now I know why everyone gives a five star rating. Keep up the good work. I look forward to my future care with you. God bless all of you!

My experience was marvelous! As it turns out my difficulty could be resolved with only relatively simple treatments. Because Dr. Erlander will analyze and diagnose each patient individually (for free by the way), he can tell what is actually needed instead of automatically treating each patient with the same approach. I have recommended the Breathing and Sleep center to several of my friends who have problems with sleep apnea and hate the C-Pap machine. My granddaughter is also looking into this, so it is great for any age person (from 5 to 72 at least.)
