Dr. Jeffrey Doneskey, a Certified Oral Medicine Specialist, is located right in Bellevue at 1414 116th Ave NE, Suite A. Minutes from Downtown, Crossroads, West Bellevue, and every corner of the Eastside. No CPAP. No overnight lab. Just real, long-lasting relief.
Bellevue’s Local Expert for Sleep Apnea, TMJ, & Snoring
You don’t have to drive across a bridge to get specialized care. Dr. Doneskey has been serving Bellevue residents from his office for over three decades, helping patients finally get the restful, restorative sleep they deserve.
Already diagnosed with sleep apnea but hate your CPAP? You’re not stuck. His custom SilentPartner™ oral appliance is an FDA-cleared alternative that most patients find far more comfortable and actually use. Insurance often covers it.
As a certified specialist in Oral Medicine and member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Dr. Doneskey brings expertise that goes well beyond general dentistry. He is one of the few providers in the greater Seattle–Bellevue metro trained specifically in sleep-disordered breathing, TMJ dysfunction, and chronic facial pain.
Comprehensive Sleep & Jaw Pain Care
From your first consultation to your custom appliance fitting, everything happens right here at our Bellevue office.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Obstructive sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing dozens of times each night, raising your risk of heart disease, cognitive decline, and metabolic disorders. Dr. Doneskey offers evidence-based oral appliance therapy as a first-line treatment.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Clicking, locking, facial aching, and headaches radiating from the temples, these are hallmarks of TMJ dysfunction. It’s one of the most underdiagnosed conditions in adults. Dr. Doneskey diagnoses and treats the root cause of TMJ, not just the symptoms.
Snoring Treatment
Snoring is often a sign that your upper airway is partially obstructed during sleep. A custom oral appliance gently repositions the lower jaw to keep the airway open, dramatically reducing or eliminating snoring without surgery or CPAP.
SilentPartner™
Developed by Dr. Doneskey, SilentPartner™ is custom-fitted to your teeth, requires no electricity, makes no sound, and travels easily. For mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, it can be just as effective as CPAP with far better compliance rates.
At-Home Sleep Testing
Our WatchPAT at-home study uses just a small wrist device and a finger probe. Sleep in your own bed, return the device the next morning, diagnostic-grade accuracy without the inconvenience of a sleep lab.
Facial Pain & Chronic Headaches
Morning headaches and facial pain are frequently connected to nighttime teeth grinding, TMJ dysfunction, or airway obstruction during sleep. Our integrative approach addresses these connections directly, often resolving symptoms that have persisted for years.
The SilentPartner™ — A Comfortable CPAP Alternative
CPAP is effective, but compliance rates are notoriously low; many patients abandon it within a year. The SilentPartner™ appliance, designed by Dr. Doneskey, is custom-fitted to your teeth, requires no electricity, makes no sound, and travels easily in a small case.
His Bellevue office is the only place in the region where you can receive this device directly from the person who designed it. For mild-to-moderate sleep apnea, it can be just as effective as CPAP, and most patients actually use it. Insurance often covers it.

How Bellevue Patients Get Started
Five simple steps from your first call to sleeping soundly.
Step 1 — Call or Request Online
Reach out by phone at (425) 646-6409 or submit an appointment request online. Our team will ask a few questions about your symptoms and schedule a convenient time for you to visit our office.
Step 2 — Initial Consultation
Your first visit is a thorough, unhurried 60 to 90 minute appointment. Dr. Doneskey will review your sleep history, examine your airway and jaw, discuss your symptoms, and explain every treatment option in plain language.
Step 3 — At-Home Sleep Study (If Needed)
If you haven’t been formally diagnosed yet, we’ll arrange a WatchPAT at-home sleep study. Sleep in your own bed, return the device the next day, and we’ll have results within days, no overnight lab stay required.
Step 4 — Custom Appliance Fitting
Once your diagnosis is confirmed, Dr. Doneskey takes digital impressions and designs your custom SilentPartner™ appliance, precision-fitted to your teeth for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Step 5 — Follow-Up & Optimization
We schedule regular check-ins to fine-tune your appliance, confirm it’s controlling your apnea, and address any new concerns. Your long-term sleep health is our ongoing commitment.
