Same-Day Solutions and Proven Long-Term Results

Dr. Henninger has helped thousands of patients find relief from sleep apnea and snoring, making him one of the most experienced oral appliance providers in North County San Diego. His practice, West Coast Snore & Sleep Apnea Solutions, is dedicated exclusively to sleep-disordered breathing — it's all he does.

What sets Dr. Henninger apart is his ability to provide same-day treatment through the Apnea Guard system. For patients who need immediate relief — whether they're struggling with CPAP, facing a surgical recovery, or simply can't wait weeks for a custom appliance — he can fit a temporary FDA-cleared device on your first visit. This lets you start sleeping better the same night while your permanent custom appliance is being fabricated.

For long-term treatment, Dr. Henninger uses custom-fabricated oral appliances combined with home sleep testing and ongoing follow-up to verify the appliance is effectively treating your apnea. He also offers NightLase laser treatment for patients who want a non-invasive option for snoring reduction.
