Sleep Apnea & TMJ Treatment in Seattle, WA

Residents of Seattle dealing with sleep apnea, TMJ disorders, or chronic snoring can access specialized care at The Sleep Apnea and Facial Pain Center in Bellevue — just 15-25 minutes depending on traffic from Seattle. Dr. Jeffrey W. Doneskey, DMD is a certified Oral Medicine specialist who has dedicated over 30 years to diagnosing and treating the conditions that rob patients of restful sleep and pain-free jaw function.

Seattle is the Pacific Northwest’s largest city with over 760,000 residents, where demanding professional lifestyles and high stress levels contribute to widespread but often undiagnosed sleep disorders. Dr. Doneskey developed the SilentPartner™, a patented FDA-cleared oral sleep appliance that provides a comfortable alternative to CPAP therapy while simultaneously addressing TMJ-related jaw clenching and grinding. This dual-purpose approach is available exclusively through our practice.
