Pasadena Sleep Apnea Dentist
Gentle solutions for sleep-related breathing issues
If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, finding the right treatment is essential for your sleep quality and long-term health. At Science of Smiles, our role begins after your diagnosis. We work with your sleep specialist to provide custom-fitted oral appliances designed to help manage sleep apnea comfortably and effectively.
Our most advanced option, the SomnoDent Avant by SomnoMed, is crafted using computer-aided design and manufacturing to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. This slim, flexible device gently shifts the lower jaw forward to open your airway during sleep. The result? Easier nasal breathing, reduced or eliminated snoring, and protection from the effects of dry mouth — an important step in preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
With our modern, non-invasive solutions, our Pasadena sleep apnea dentists can help you get peaceful nights back and a healthier lifestyle.

A modern, non-CPAP solution
If you’ve struggled with CPAP or are searching for a simpler way to manage your condition, a custom sleep appliance could be the answer. Our Pasadena sleep apnea dentist team provides appliances only for patients with a confirmed diagnosis, ensuring treatment is appropriate and aligned with medical recommendations.
Unlike bulky machines, oral appliances like the SomnoDent Avant offer a discreet, travel-friendly option. They’re personalized for your mouth and lifestyle — no tubes, masks, or noise. Just better sleep and better health, night after night.
Your partner in oral health
Great oral care is rooted in respect for your health, your comfort, and your autonomy. Our approach to sleep apnea reflects this philosophy.

We’re here to support your journey with empathy and clarity, empowering you with options that align with your diagnosis and lifestyle.
Making quality dental care accessible
Navigating dental insurance can be overwhelming, but our friendly staff is here to help you. Just provide us with your dental insurance information, and we’ll perform a courtesy insurance benefits evaluation, giving you a clear and accurate breakdown of your coverage.
If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t worry — we’ve developed our own in-house savings plan, designed to make comprehensive dental care more affordable. At Science of Smiles, you and your family can receive the care you need without financial stress.

Your Questions Answered
Do you diagnose sleep apnea?
No. Sleep apnea must be diagnosed by a medical doctor, typically a sleep specialist. If you’ve already been diagnosed, we can help by providing a custom oral appliance to manage your condition.
What kind of sleep apnea appliances do you offer?
We offer the SomnoDent Avant from SomnoMed. It’s slim, flexible, and custom-fit using advanced digital design for comfort and effectiveness.
How does the appliance help with sleep apnea?
It gently repositions your lower jaw to keep your airway open during sleep. This promotes nasal breathing, reduces snoring, and helps prevent dry mouth that can lead to dental issues
How does treating sleep apnea help protect my teeth and gums?
Sleep apnea often causes mouth breathing and dry mouth, which can increase your risk of cavities, enamel erosion, and gum disease. By encouraging nasal breathing and preventing dryness, a custom-fitted appliance supports your overall oral health. At Science of Smiles, we focus on prevention, helping you avoid long-term damage by addressing the root causes of decay and inflammation.
Is this a good alternative to CPAP?
Yes. Many patients find oral appliances more comfortable, quiet, and easier to travel with than CPAP. It’s an effective solution for many people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Will insurance cover my oral appliance?
Coverage varies, but we’ll help verify your benefits and provide a clear breakdown of costs. We also offer savings options if you’re not using insurance.
