Dr. Brigden was born in Blackpool, England and moved to the United States with his parents in 1970. Beginning his career as a radiologic technologist specializing in CAT scans and MRIs, Dr. Brigden considered going to medical school, but ultimately decided dentistry was where he wanted to make his impact. Dr. Brigden established a successful practice at Legacy Dental, and in 2015 decided to focus more on sleep treatment and thus joined Advanced Dental Sleep Treatment Center. Dr. Brigden shadowed Dr. Roubal for a year before seeing his own patients and learned what it takes clinically to far exceed national standards for successful sleep apnea and snoring treatment. Along with hands on experience with Dr. Roubal, Dr. Brigden has taken hundreds of hours of continuing education courses specific to Dental Sleep treatment. He is working towards becoming a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), and in that mission has recently earned the status of Qualified Dentist, by the AADSM. In August of 2016, he started seeing his own patients two days per week, and has enjoyed being part of the team.
