Why did we choose Dr. Douglas L. Chenin, DDS as one of our Top Doctors?

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. Douglas Chenin as a top dental sleep medicine dentist in San Francisco because of his single focus on sleep apnea, his published research on airway imaging, and his teaching record. He graduated from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. Dr. Chenin served as Director of Clinical Affairs for Anatomage, a dental imaging company, and has written more than a dozen papers and book chapters on cone beam CT and 3D airway analysis. He has also presented at the University of the Pacific Dental Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency. Few sleep apnea dentists bring this depth in airway imaging.

What sets Dr. Chenin apart is that San Francisco Dental Sleep Medicine treats nothing else. The Union Street office handles obstructive sleep apnea and snoring only, using oral appliance therapy as the main treatment. Each case includes diagnostics, a custom oral appliance, and follow-up home sleep testing to confirm the device is working. That narrow scope means patients who cannot tolerate CPAP get a dentist who sees these cases every day. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. Douglas Chenin among the top three dental sleep medicine dentists in San Francisco.
