Quieter Nights for Southern Marin
If you live in Corte Madera and want help with snoring or sleep apnea, our office is a short drive north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael, where we fit custom oral appliances at 1099 D Street. It is the next town up the freeway, so a consultation slots easily into a week that already runs through southern Marin.
Loud snoring and broken, unrefreshing sleep can be signs of obstructive sleep apnea, when the airway narrows or closes again and again through the night. For many people with mild-to-moderate apnea, and for those who never got along with CPAP, a small custom appliance offers a quieter, easier road back to real rest.
The appliance resembles a sturdy retainer and is worn only while you sleep. It eases your lower jaw forward to help hold the airway open. Dr. Steve fits it to your own anatomy and works alongside your sleep physician, so your care stays connected rather than handed off in pieces.
This May Be Right If You
- Snore loudly, or someone has told you that you stop breathing in your sleep
- Have a diagnosis of mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea
- Tried CPAP and found the mask or hose hard to live with
- Wake up tired, or want something quiet and easy to pack for travel
What to Expect
- Consultation We go over your history and symptoms and confirm the diagnosis your sleep physician has made.
- Physician coordination We check in with your sleep team to be sure an oral appliance is a sound fit for you.
- Custom fitting We take impressions and have your appliance built to match your exact anatomy.
- Follow-up & refinement We fine-tune the fit and circle back with your sleep physician on how it is working.

Serving Corte Madera
Corte Madera sits in southern Marin just off Highway 101, so reaching us is a quick run north up the freeway into downtown San Rafael. From Corte Madera, take Highway 101 north, exit into central San Rafael, and continue to 1099 D Street, where we are on the second floor in Suite 206.
If your week already takes you to The Village at Corte Madera or Town Center Corte Madera, folding a sleep appliance consultation into the trip north is simple. For parking, you will find street spots along D Street and the nearby blocks, plus a few public lots within a short walk in downtown San Rafael.

Corte Madera Sleep Apnea Questions
Where do Corte Madera patients go for sleep apnea treatment?
To D Street Dental Group, a short drive north on Highway 101 into downtown San Rafael at 1099 D Street. If your week already takes you to The Village at Corte Madera or Town Center Corte Madera, a sleep appliance consultation folds neatly into the trip up the freeway.
Do I need a sleep study before getting an oral appliance?
Yes. A diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea from a sleep physician, usually based on a sleep study, comes first. If you have not been evaluated yet, we can help point you in the right direction and then coordinate your care with your sleep team.
Is an oral appliance an alternative to CPAP?
For many people, yes. CPAP is the standard for severe sleep apnea, while oral appliance therapy is a recognized option for mild-to-moderate OSA and for patients who cannot tolerate a CPAP mask. There is no mask and no hose, just one small custom device. Dr. Steve coordinates with your sleep physician to confirm it fits your situation.
Will my insurance cover a sleep apnea appliance if I live in Corte Madera?
Appliances for diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea are often billed to medical insurance rather than dental insurance, and coverage varies by plan. We will talk through your situation and what documentation your sleep physician needs to provide, and give you an itemized estimate before anything begins.
