About Us
Improving sleep, energy, and wellness for the whole family
At Valley Sleep and Airway, we offer something different. We don’t just treat symptoms. We diagnose and treat the underlying causes of sleep disorders, TMJ dysfunction, chronic headaches, and airway challenges. Everything happens in one place, from your initial consult to long-term follow-up.
We bill medical insurance directly, coordinate with your healthcare providers, and make the entire experience feel clear and low-stress. If you’ve struggled with CPAP, chronic pain, or unanswered health concerns, we’re here to help you move forward.

Your journey to relief starts here
Consultation and candidacy
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to review your symptoms, health history, and any existing diagnosis. Whether you’ve tried CPAP or are brand new to sleep and airway care, we’ll assess if you’re a good candidate for treatment here in our office.
Sleep test or workup
If you haven’t been diagnosed, we’ll provide a take-home sleep test that’s easy to use and interpreted by a board-certified pulmonologist. If you’re moving forward with oral appliance therapy, we schedule a comprehensive in-office workup to collect all the data needed for your treatment and insurance approval.
Delivery and follow-up
Once your appliance is ready, we’ll fit it using a digital scanner to ensure comfort and accuracy. No impressions required. You’ll leave with clear next steps and ongoing support from our team.
Digital tools that make your care more effective
Sleep apnea therapy
Skip the CPAP and discover an easier way to sleep. Our oral appliances are custom-fit, effective, and even covered by most medical insurance.
CBCT cone beam imaging
Our 3D cone beam scanner allows us to evaluate your airway, jaw joints, and bone structure with precision, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better outcomes.
Intraoral scanner
We use digital scanning instead of traditional impressions to create custom oral appliances. This means a faster, cleaner, and more comfortable experience.
A calming environment that supports your care
We understand that dealing with sleep or pain issues can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a calm, supportive space where you can feel comfortable. Our office includes cozy blankets, stress balls, and a warm team that puts you at ease. Every detail is designed to make your visit more relaxing and your care more approachable.
