Sleep Apnea Treatment in Long Beach

At Dodds Dental in Long Beach, we take a compassionate, patient-centered approach to treating sleep apnea, a condition that affects far more than just your nighttime rest. Sleep apnea occurs when breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep, often due to a blocked airway. Left untreated, it can contribute to conditions like high blood pressure, heart problems, and chronic fatigue.

Drs. Emily and Dustin Dodds are proud to offer a non-invasive, clinically proven solution using the Vivos mandibular advancement device, the only FDA-approved sleep appliance of its kind. Our advanced, relationship-based approach makes managing sleep apnea easier, more comfortable, and fully tailored to your lifestyle.
