New Patient Information
Welcome to San Francisco Dental Sleep Medicine. We look forward to providing you with unrushed, compassionate, and excellent care. Our practice focuses exclusively on treating adults suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, and Chronic Snoring. Oral Appliance Therapy is one of the most popular and effective treatments for OSA and snoring and has a much higher compliance rate than CPAP therapy.
If you are undiagnosed but have symptoms, we can also help order you a sleep study and get you tested faster and easier than most local sleep centers. If you already have an OSA diagnosis, Dr. Chenin will consult with you to determine whether Oral Appliance Therapy might be a productive treatment for you and answer any questions that you may have.
We are located in the Marina District at 2001 Union Street, Suite 420, San Francisco, CA 94123.
