I've never enjoyed going to the dentist and have neglected going for years until a large chip of my tooth came out. I didn't have insurance and was desperate. Colleen took my call and scheduled me in the next morning. I was super nervous getting in but Edward and Katy answered all my questions during x-ray and helped me calm down a bit. When I finally got into the dreaded chair Traci was a rockstar and knew the assignment; checking in on me the entire time and made sure my saliva didn't consume me. Once Dr. Khurana got in there he worked his magic and was careful not to go too far with the drilling and got me out in no time. I'm so thankful for this amazing team and for their care that I just wish my past experiences were as easy and satisfying as this one. The pricing was very reasonable as well! Considering that I didn't have insurance, had I known about their membership plan I would not have waited for an emergency to come up for me to finally make a trip to the dentist. I probably would've saved a lot more in the long run by addressing things sooner and taking advantage of their plan... lesson learned. Thanks again to Dentistry of Bellevue team!!

Dr.k was incredible as was the staff they got me in immediately after I called with tooth pain and had a root canal done and they worked with me as I didn’t have insurance I would highly recommend coming in and seeing what they can do for you.

All the staff is amazing, they do their best to help me schedule my appointments, and work well with the insurance company. I really like their new offices. I managed to convince my wife and kids to move to Dentistry of Bellevue. They are also happy so far.
Is Sleep Apnea keeping you awake? Is snoring keeping your spouse awake? We have a simple solution – an alternative to the cumbersome CPAP
Treatment Options
TIRED OF CPAP? We have an alternative!
Oral Appliance Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. It is a mouthpiece, for patients with primary snoring or mild to moderate Sleep Apnea. They are small devices that you wear while you sleep. They are similar in size to an Orthodontic Retainer or Sports Mouthguard. They are very comfortable, easy to wear, and easy to travel with. These appliances can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments. Oral Appliances work by attempting to prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of your throat, keeping your airway open to allow adequate air intake. They work to reposition the lower jaw, tongue, soft palate, and uvula. Oral Appliance Therapy involves selecting an appropriate design , and then custom fitting it to your teeth.
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is pressurized air from a bedside machine. The air is delivered through a tube that connects to a mask, covering the nose. The pressure of the air forces and maintains the airway open while you sleep. This is a very successful treatment option, however it is only a great treatment if it is used! Many people find the masks very uncomfortable and cumbersome to wear. The noise created by the machines can also cause difficulty sleeping for the patient and partner. Also, people find that the machines are difficult to travel with.
Sleep Apnea is a life threatening disorder and should not go un-treated because you can’t wear your CPAP! We can make a custom-fit plastic mouthpiece for treating sleep apnea. The mouthpiece will adjust your lower jaw and your tongue to help keep your airways open while you sleep.
Sleep Apnea / Snoring
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common sleep disorder affecting over 18 million people in the United States. Sleep Apnea is characterized by loud or heavy snoring interrupted by the stopping of breathing for more than 10 seconds.
Under diagnosed and frequently dismissed simply as harmless yet annoying snoring, “obstructive sleep apnea” (OSA) is a very dangerous condition. If you or a loved one snore loudly at night, please have a sleep study done to rule out this potentially fatal condition.
The word “apnea” literally means “without breath.”
How Does Sleep Apnea Occur?
Snoring occurs when the airway or passage through which we breathe becomes partially blocked or occluded. An example would be a tongue that falls back as we drift off into deeper sleep. As the diameter or size of the airway passage is shrinking, the net result is a muffled sound secondary to vibrations in the throat, or snoring.
These incidences can happen many times per hour and hundreds of times in a night’s sleep. When breathing stops, the snoring stops until individual chokes and gasps for air. They will awaken briefly, sometimes violently, interrupting their sleep patterns and in the morning will have no memories of these incidences.
There are three types of apnea. In all three, people with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times during the night and often for a minute or longer.
Three Types of Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) the most common is usually caused when the soft tissue in the rear of the throat collapses and closes closes completely during sleep.
Central sleep apnea is not caused by a blocked airway but rather the brain’s failure to signal the muscles to breathe.
Mixed apnea is a combination of the two.
With each apnea event, the brain briefly arouses people with sleep apnea in order for them to resume breathing, but consequently sleep is extremely fragmented and of poor quality.
Risk factors include being male, overweight, and over the age of forty, but sleep apnea can strike anyone at any age, even children. Yet still because of the lack of awareness by the public and healthcare professionals, the vast majority remain undiagnosed and therefore untreated, despite the fact that this serious disorder can have significant consequences.
Untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotency, and headaches. Moreover, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Fortunately, sleep apnea can be diagnosed and treated. Several treatment options exist, and research into additional options continues.

I have been a patient of Dr. Khurana's since 2004 though a patient of Denistry of Bellevue many years before he took over the practice. I highly recommend Dr. Khurana and his staff. I have gotten excellent care and he has worked with me on various dental problems that required extra attention. I've had some emergency care needed and he was available in off hours for this. His staff has been excellent with my needed care and checkups and always aware of my special gum sensitivities, which I always appreciate.
Jeanette C.
Very knowledgable and professional staff members, and Dr. Khurana is superb!
