Sleep Apnea Treatment Options for Kearny Mesa Residents
Kearny Mesa runs long days — restaurant crews on Convoy Street working past midnight, dealership staff on Auto Row, office workers and contractors keeping the region's businesses moving. When you're also fighting untreated sleep apnea, those days get brutal: no amount of coffee fixes sleep that's interrupted dozens of times an hour. If you've been putting off looking into sleep apnea treatment near Kearny Mesa, here's how simple it actually is. Call for a free consultation, pick up a home sleep test from our Sorrento Valley office — 10 minutes north via SR-163 or I-805 — and sleep with it one night in your own bed. If you have apnea, a custom oral appliance keeps your airway open silently: no mask, no machine, no noise. An estimated 1 in 4 San Diego adults has undiagnosed sleep apnea, and most medical insurance covers treatment, including Medicare and TRICARE.

Local Impact: An estimated 10,000 adults in the Kearny Mesa area have undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, based on American Academy of Sleep Medicine prevalence data applied to the area’s residential and working population of approximately 42,000.
Why Treating Sleep Apnea Matters
Untreated obstructive sleep apnea doesn't just rob you of sleep — it increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and motor vehicle accidents. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine estimates that untreated sleep apnea costs the U.S. economy $149.6 billion annually in healthcare costs and lost productivity. The sooner you get tested, the sooner you can protect your health — and start waking up rested.

Why Kearny Mesa Residents Choose Us
Your time is the thing we protect first. The free 15-minute consultation with Thomas D'Acquisto — our Founder/Director with nearly 40 years in sleep medicine — happens by phone, on your schedule, and covers the two things people actually want to know: is this worth pursuing, and what will insurance cover. Thomas verifies your coverage before your first clinical appointment. Treatment comes from Dr. Andrew Gamache, a Diplomate of the International Academy of Sleep with over 14 years in dental sleep medicine, who wears an oral appliance himself every night to treat his own sleep apnea.

Struggling with CPAP? You Have Options
If you've been diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine but can't tolerate it, you're not alone. Research shows that 30–50% of CPAP users abandon therapy within the first year. The mask discomfort, air leaks, noise, dry mouth, and claustrophobia are real — and they're the reason millions of people live with untreated sleep apnea.
Oral appliance therapy is an FDA-cleared alternative that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and as an option for severe cases when CPAP is not tolerated. It's a custom-fitted mouthpiece — similar to a retainer — that gently repositions your jaw to keep your airway open. No mask, no machine, no noise.
CPAP
- —Mask and headgear required
- —Machine noise
- —Requires electricity
- —50–60% adherence rate
- —Dry mouth and skin irritation common
Oral Appliance
- Custom-fitted mouthpiece
- Completely silent
- No electricity needed
- ~90% adherence rate
- Fits in your pocket for travel

I went from severe sleep apnea to a normal level of 0.9 AHI with my custom fitted mouth piece. This was a huge game changer! More importantly, I feel the best I've ever felt!

Serving the Kearny Mesa Community
Kearny Mesa sits at the crossroads of SR-163, I-805, and I-15 — one of San Diego's most connected districts and one of its hardest-working. The Convoy District is the region's premier Asian dining destination, with Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese restaurants packed along Convoy Street; Auto Row lines Kearny Mesa Road; and office parks, contractors, and small businesses fill the blocks between. The people who power all of it — owners, cooks, technicians, office staff — often work schedules that make sleep precious and shortchanged. For the estimated 10,000+ adults in the Kearny Mesa area with undiagnosed sleep apnea, the fix doesn't have to be complicated: our Sorrento Valley office is 10 minutes north, and an oral appliance requires no morning cleaning routine, no distilled water, and leaves no mask lines before an early shift.
10 minutes from Kearny Mesa
