Sleep Apnea Dentist in Marin County

Marin takes sleep seriously — cold plunges, trackers, supplements — yet untreated snoring and apnea quietly undo all of it. Dr. Amin Samadian, DDS, practices dental sleep medicine at the San Francisco Center for TMJ & Sleep Apnea, just across the Golden Gate: custom oral appliances that treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea without a mask, hose, or machine. Call 415-570-2841 to book.

Sleep health, without the machine

Patients from San Rafael, Mill Valley, Larkspur, and Novato usually arrive one of two ways: a partner tired of the snoring, or a sleep study followed by a CPAP they couldn't live with. A custom oral appliance holds the lower jaw gently forward to keep the airway open — silent, travel-friendly, and fitted precisely from impressions in our in-house lab. Because Dr. Samadian treats jaw and airway together, Marin patients with morning jaw tension or clenching get both problems addressed in one plan (see our Marin TMJ page).

Getting here from Marin

From the 101 corridor, cross the Golden Gate and you're at 450 Sutter St in about 30–40 minutes, with the Sutter-Stockton garage next door; Golden Gate Transit ferries and buses land within a short walk or hop of Union Square. Appliance therapy needs only a few visits, and a virtual consultation can start the process from home.

Reconstruction-grade TMJ & airway care — with our own lab

Most dentists treat TMJ symptoms. Dr. Samadian is a reconstructive and cosmetic dentist who specializes in dental reconstruction for TMJ and airway patients — which means care doesn't stop at managing pain; it can go all the way to rebuilding a bite that years of grinding and joint strain have worn down. He is also one of the few in Northern California with an in-house lab, so orthotics and appliances are designed, crafted, and refined under one roof rather than shipped to a third-party lab.

His integrated method moves through four stages, each matched to what your CT imaging and exam actually show:

1. Diagnose — CT-based imaging of the jaw joints and airway; no guesswork.
2. Decompress & stabilize — custom orthotics from our own lab, regenerative PRF therapy, and Botox for overworked jaw muscles.
3. Develop the airway — NightLase laser therapy, MSE palatal expansion and orthodontics, and oral appliance therapy.
4. Reconstruct — when teeth have paid the price of years of clenching, full bite reconstruction restores function and esthetics together.

The symptom list we treat is long because the jaw–airway system touches all of it: locked jaw, clicking and popping, jaw deviation, grinding and clenching, ear pain and ringing, headaches and migraines, neck and shoulder pain, and snoring.
