SLEEP APNOEA APPLIANCES
Waking up tired? Snoring? Let's discuss your dental treatment options!
Is disrupted, restless sleep or snoring impacting your life or your partner? You may benefit from discussing this with your dentist in Shepperton to assess whether using a custom-made sleep apnoea dental appliance is for you.
If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to more serious health issues. Custom-made dental appliances can be very effective in treating sleep apnoea, assisting with both snoring and insomnia. You may notice results immediately after the first use of the appliance, contributing to improved sleep and restored health.
WHAT ARE SLEEP APNOEA APPLIANCES?
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea occurs during sleep when some of your muscles in the airway and throat relax, causing you to stop breathing for short periods. We want to assist you in getting the rest your body deserves at night, to rest and refresh. That’s why we offer sleep apnoea appliances designed to help treat your sleep apnoea or similar sleeping conditions at Confident Smile. These devices are worn at night to hold your jaw forward to keep airways open, allowing you to breathe normally.
Your dentist in Shepperton fits custom-made sleep apnoea devices. Unlike other sleep apnoea solutions such as CPAP machines, these appliances are very portable, easy to care for, and may be the solution for you.

Alex is very professional..I have had implants and various other work done at Confident Smile all to the highest standard...thank you
I have been a patient of Confident Smile (Shepperton) for the last 4 years now, when I found them on a google search, after an stressful experience in another dental practice. I do my regular check ups and any emergency appointments now always with them. The team is very proffesional. The offer a personalised attention. At the time I'm in the clinic, they all make me feel that I'm their highest priority. I seriously recommend Confident Smile.
Alex has been fantastic throughout my Invisalign journey. I am now nearly a year down the line and couldn’t be more impressed with Alex and his team. I absolutely love my teeth and will now use Alex going forwards as my dentist. Thank you 🙂
Love Alex and team!! Completely pain-free filling today. The team always make you feel comfortable and put you at complete ease. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!
One of the best dental centers in London indeed. For more than two years, every dentist I went to for the problem of one of my teeth did not accept me, but Dr. Hashemi did it in the best way and at the best price for me. Also, I had one of the best experiences of scaling and whitening my teeth in this center with Claudia. Everyone at this facility is the best and friendliest. I am really grateful to everyone
I have been visiting Cofident Smile Dental Practice for over 6 years now. Seeing Alex as my dentist has been great, he has done an amazing job with my implants. Very professional, explaining the procedure in detail and being gentle too.Claudia as my hygienist is one of the very best I have seen. She is very good at her job, gentle with the treatment as well.I would definitely recommend you visiting this practice, if your someone like me and doesn't like visiting the dentist the team here really make you feel at ease, very welcoming and considerate.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff and great work.I had a temporary crown fitted in Brazil which had become loose. After visiting two other dentists who didn't have the correct equipment, I was finally able to get the tooth tightened up here.I would have no issue recommending this place if you have an issue which other dentists can't fix.
I’m so pleased that I’ve finally found a dental practice that I feel completely at ease with. I joined a few months ago having tried several others. I won’t be going anywhere else. Alex is lovely and I have total trust in his ability to finally give me a smile to be proud of. Claudia is an angel; so friendly and my teeth feel great after treatment with her. 100% I would not want to go anywhere else now.
I have a big, anxious, phobia of dentists. All the staff put me really at ease at all of my recent appointments, and were able to arrange sedation for me for 2 hours of a major procedure.I am now able to show my teeth again when I smile, and have no more constant pain from broken teeth, and I remember nothing of the procedure after the sedation.I would wholly recommend this practice for any dental work, especially if you have anxiety or phobia. They treat you so well and with so much care.
The team at Confident Smile are lovely. They put me at ease as I'm an anxious patient, this make such a huge difference to my experience at the dentist. I can't thank them enough.
Can’t speak highly enough about Confident Smile. Totally transformed my teeth. Just amazing.
I cannot thank Alex and Julie enough for everything they did with my procedure. I had left a badly damaged tooth for a long time which made the procedure quite complex. But the whole way through from consultation to the final fitting, they were so accommodating to all my needs. If something wasn’t quite right it would be corrected so everytime I left I had a smile I could be confident about.A true perfectionist of his work. I am so happy with the results it’s always something I notice in pictures now when before, it was something I would avoid looking at. Thank you so much both of you for all your work!
I recently finished having treatment where I had to have an implant . Previously with another practitioner it had failed. There was no problem with my implant from Alex . He was super quick and efficient when doing the prep work and I was amazed how the treatment felt after my previous experience. I would 100% recommend Alex who is very skilled at implant surgery. Thanks 🙏
Alex and his team have restored my smile! Having had various issues with my front tooth since breaking it many years ago and having various different repairs done to it over the years I eventually opted to have an implant consultation with confident smile dental practice after reading reviews of their work.Alex was very detailed in his plan for my front implant. He broke things down for me and explained his plan whilst managing my expectations all the way. I felt very secure in the teams care when having my procedure where I was offered different options of how they were going to carry out my dental surgery. If you are scared of having you need not be as Alex is very gentle. I was offered regular check ups during my journey in which my opinion was also listened to and respected. 6 months later my teeth have never looked this good in nearly 25 years. Thank you Dr Alex and Team. I’m really really happy. Alex took pictures along the way and I’d be happy for him to show other patients to show off his stills with dental implants.
I wish I had transferred to Confident Smile much sooner than I did, but I am very glad to be there now. The staff are very friendly, professional and efficient, and my teeth are in better shape now than they have been for years. Alex is a star dentist, and Claudia one of the best hygienists I've ever had. I can recommend them highly.
After recommendation from a work colleague I have been going to see Alex and his team at Confident Smile dental practice for over five years for both general and restorative dental care. Alex is an extremely experienced and skillful dentist, he has corrected my bite and restored my smile. Alex is very caring and puts his patients at ease by his calm nature and good communication, explaining every step of the treatment required. I am extremely pleased with every aspect of my treatment including general dental care. All the staff at Confident Smile are very welcoming and professional. Thank you.
