An airway practice built around how you breathe
Most dental offices treat teeth. We treat the airway, the jaws, and the habits that shape them, for adults, teens, and kids. It's a different way of looking at snoring, sleep, jaw pain, and crowded smiles, and it's what our whole practice is built around.
Correcting the cause, instead of managing the symptoms
CPAP machines, night guards, and wait-and-see can help people cope, and they have their place. Our focus is the structure underneath: a narrow palate, a jaw that needed more room to grow, a tongue that can't rest where it should. When we can open that space, many patients find their breathing and sleep improve along with it.
That's why expansion sits at the heart of how we treat, from gentle palate expanders for growing kids to DOMEzero for adults.

Dr. Buxton built his practice around the airway
Dr. Jeff Buxton's journey into dental sleep medicine started more than 20 years ago. He's a Diplomate of the American Sleep & Breathing Academy, a Vivos VIP Provider, and a Breathe Institute Ambassador, with advanced training in DOMEzero and MARPE expansion, mandibular advancement, and soft tissue laser therapy.
Meet Dr. Buxton
Six things you'll notice at your first visit
We scan before we talk treatment
Every consultation includes a 3D CBCT scan of the airway, jaws, and joints, plus a digital intraoral scan. No goopy molds.
Plain-language answers
Dr. Buxton puts your scans on the screen and walks you through what he sees, so you understand the why behind every option.
Every age under one roof
Tongue ties from age three, kids in early growth guidance, teens in aligners, and adults in expansion. One team, one philosophy.
Adult options beyond CPAP
DOMEzero expansion, Vivos® appliance therapy, oral appliances, and QuietNite laser, coordinated with your sleep physician.
Rooms built for families
Family treatment rooms have lounge seating, so parents can stay close and siblings have somewhere to be.
No pressure, just answers
You'll leave with a clear picture and a plan. What you do with it is always your call.
3D imaging that shows the whole picture
A regular dental X-ray shows teeth. Our cone beam CT shows the airway itself: its volume, the narrowest points, tongue space, the jaw joints, and how the upper jaw has developed. It's the foundation of every treatment plan here, for adults and kids alike.
- 3D CBCT airway and jaw imaging
- Digital intraoral scans instead of impressions
- At-home sleep testing for adults
- Soft tissue laser for tongue ties and the soft palate
The in-person practice behind a national brand
Toothpillow helps families across the country guide their kids' growth at home. Our Draper office is the brand's in-person practice, where we see adults, teens, and kids who need hands-on care, imaging, fixed appliances, expansion, or laser treatment that a virtual program can't provide.
