Hi, I'm Dr. Chul Dokko
I’ve been practicing dentistry since graduating from USC Dental School in 2004. My journey has taken me from the halls of academia to serving as a dental officer in the U.S. Navy and now into the field of sleep dentistry.
After dental school, I had the honor of serving in the Navy with the rank of Lieutenant. That experience taught me the value of discipline, service, and precision—qualities I bring into my dental practice every day.
I’ve been married to my amazing wife for over 20 years, and we have two wonderful daughters who fill our lives with joy. Outside of work, I love traveling with my family and enjoying a round of golf whenever I can.
My path into sleep dentistry began with a very personal experience. When my wife was diagnosed with sleep apnea, she couldn’t imagine being strapped to a CPAP machine. I started researching alternatives and discovered oral appliance therapy. The results were life-changing, not only for her but for our whole family. That experience sparked a deep interest in sleep dentistry and the powerful difference it can make.
I understand the impact of sleep issues from both a clinical and personal perspective
Today, I focus on helping patients find comfortable, effective solutions for sleep apnea and snoring through custom oral devices. I’m currently enrolled in the Diplomate program with the International Academy of Sleep to further my training and stay on the cutting edge of sleep medicine.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with sleep apnea, I’m here to help you breathe easier and sleep better.
Our Foundation and Principles
Welcome Nights Innovations was founded on the belief that there is a better way to treat sleep apnea. We recognized the limitations and discomfort of traditional CPAP machines and sought to provide a more comfortable and effective alternative. We are credentialed with Medicare, so we will work with your PPO insurance provider to cover treatments. Our vision is to become the leading sleep apnea solutions provider in Concord, California; known for our compassionate care and non-invasive devices that keep you and your loved ones comfortable all night long.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common yet serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during rest. It affects millions of people and often goes unnoticed, yet it can have lasting effects on your health and quality of life.
Signs and Causes
Sleep apnea often comes with loud snoring, gasping during sleep, and daytime fatigue. Common causes include excess weight, narrow airways, aging, and certain lifestyle habits like smoking or alcohol use.
Health Risks
Left untreated, sleep apnea can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, memory issues, and mood disorders like depression and anxiety.
Diagnosis and Treatment
A sleep study helps confirm the diagnosis. Treatments may include CPAP therapy, oral devices, lifestyle changes, or surgery. Many patients find relief with custom dental appliances that improve airflow comfortably.
