Sleep apnea treatment in Napa, CA

How a dentist can help with sleep apnea

If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea, a custom oral appliance can help you breathe and sleep better. At Bevan Dental, our sleep apnea treatment in Napa uses a small appliance that gently holds your lower jaw slightly forward, helping keep your airway open.

A comfortable alternative to CPAP

Many people find a CPAP mask uncomfortable, noisy, or hard to travel with. An oral appliance is small, quiet, and easy to pack, which makes it much easier to use every night.

Who it's for

• People who have been diagnosed with sleep apnea
• Anyone who struggles to use a CPAP machine
• Loud snorers who want quieter nights
• Frequent travelers

What to expect

1. A consultation. Dr. Bevan checks your teeth, jaw, and bite to make sure an appliance is a good fit.
2. A digital scan. A quick iTero scan, with no goopy impressions.
3. Your custom appliance. We fit it and adjust it with you until it feels right.

Grinding and sleep

Nighttime grinding and sleep problems often go together. If you also wake up with a sore jaw, see our night guards page or read Why do I wake up with jaw pain?

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
