Breathe Deeply and Freely
When you’re not breathing like you need to—awake or asleep—you’re not able to live your best life. From relying on caffeine to get you through the day, to keeping your partner up with your snoring at night, it’s taking a huge toll on your health and relationships.
Maybe you’ve thought that feeling exhausted and weak is normal. Or maybe you’ve seen a sleep doctor and gotten a CPAP machine, leaving you stuck in the Catch-22 of awful sleep or uncomfortable machines. There has to be a better way!
At Sierra Sleep Airway and Wellness Center, we get it.
We’ve treated dozens of patients just like you who have found that with a simple, noninvasive, and relatively short treatment time to widen their airway, they can breathe deeply and freely all night long.
By widening your airway, not only will you feel more rested and sleep better, but you can also actively avoid chronic illnesses in the future like heart disease, pulmonary disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
The process is simple:
1
Go to the Source
Using the latest technologies, our comprehensive sleep and airway evaluation will look for the root causes of your sleep and airway issues.
2
Make a Plan
Results in hand, we’ll create a customized care plan and connect you with the providers and therapies you need.
3
Sleep Tight
It’s time for a good night’s sleep! Most patients resolve their sleep issues in 12 months, with noticeable results in just a few months.

Dr. John Bocchi, DDS
Dr. Bocchi is passionate about dentistry and the effect it can have on your whole-body health. This is where complete health dentistry comes to life! He believes in optimizing growth and development for kids and adults to improve breathing, prevent chronic health issues, and make the smiles of his patients’ dreams. Because he believes that you always need to continue learning in order to provide the best care for patients, he has traveled the country to learn the latest dental technologies, including the CEREC machine that completes porcelain crowns and veneers in a single visit. Dr. Bocchi has become so passionate about sleep and airway after realizing he and his kids had sleep issues that were affecting their health. He has spent many hours in sleep and airway classes to bring these incredible sleep treatments to Northern Nevada.
He and his wife, Jen, have two children, Keira and Kipton; he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, photography, fishing, hiking, biking, snowboarding, and the many other outdoor activities available in Northern Nevada.
