Patient Reviews | Sleep Dentist in Bellevue, WA

Five yellow stars representing high ratings for The Silent Partner™ oral sleep device, emphasizing patient satisfaction and comfort in managing sleep apnea and TMJ disorders.

My TMJ caused pain and popping in my jaw as well as temporal and stress headaches that lasted the entire day. As a result, I was taking many over-the-counter pain killers to cope. Since using the oral appliance, the headaches are gone and I can move my mouth and jaw without pain.

Dr. Doneskey is excellent. I always look forward to my appointments because he knows how to listen to my concerns. He is an incredible problem solver. So often, doctors don’t seem to have enough time for me or don’t pay attention to my symptoms or take my pain seriously. Dr. Doneskey always has time for me and is always ready to listen and offers solutions that work for me.

I found Dr. Doneskey very professional, easy to talk to, and easy to work with. The whole office is that way and its nice dealing with people like that. After using Dr. Doneskey’s oral appliance, SilentPartner™, I would not go back to the CPAP.

Dr. Doneskey is one of few who know how to safely treat sleep apnea problems with an oral appliance. It’s the ideal CPAP alternative for me. Dr. Doneskey is very good at what he does. He is extremely friendly and attentive and always available to offer ongoing support and supervision.

Dr. Doneskey recommended his oral appliance because it treated my sleep apnea and helped stop my teeth grinding. After using the appliance for several years, I believe it has saved my life. The appliance allowed me to overcome sleep apnea, and I couldn’t live without it. In fact, I liked it so much that I had Dr. Doneskey make me another one.

Since we both started using the appliance, our snoring is completely eliminated. We are both getting better sleep and our entire family is much happier. My husband, who is normally quiet and reserved, raves about Dr. Doneskey. He made the mistake of traveling once without his oral appliance and really missed it while he was gone.

Ann & Tom C.

Before I met Dr. Doneskey I had not been feeling well for many years. My blood pressure was high, I was gaining weight, and my frequent headaches and jaw pain had me at the end of my rope. My doctor told me that Dr. Doneskey could help me and he certainly has!

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep. These interruptions can last for a few seconds to minutes and may occur many times throughout the night, leading to fragmented sleep and reduced oxygen levels in the body.

There are several types of sleep apnea, with obstructive sleep apnea being the most common. It occurs when the throat muscles relax excessively during sleep, blocking the airway. Central sleep apnea, on the other hand, is due to a failure of the brain to signal the muscles to breathe. Understanding these distinctions helps in identifying appropriate treatment options.

Benefits of Non-Surgical TMJ Treatments

Non-surgical treatments for TMJ disorders focus on relieving pain and restoring function without the need for invasive procedures. These methods can include physical therapy, oral appliances, and lifestyle changes that help manage symptoms effectively.

For instance, oral appliances like the SilentPartner™ can help align the jaw and reduce strain on the temporomandibular joint. Many patients report significant relief from pain and improved jaw function, making non-surgical options a preferred choice for those hesitant about surgery.
