About Airway Dental & More · Jacksonville
Airway Dental & More is a family and airway-focused dental practice in Jacksonville, Florida, led by Dr. Neil K. Stevenson, DMD. Located on San Jose Boulevard in the Mandarin neighborhood, the practice distinguishes itself by treating oral health, airway function, sleep, and facial development as one interconnected system rather than focusing only on teeth. It serves patients of all ages — from infants with tongue-tie issues to adults with sleep apnea — using advanced technologies such as CBCT 3D imaging, dental lasers, WatchPAT sleep studies, and 3D printers/scanners. The practice holds a 5.0-star average across Google and Trustindex reviews, with long-term patients reporting 20+ year relationships with Dr. Stevenson.
Airway Dental & More operates out of a single location at 12078 San Jose Blvd, Suite 1, Jacksonville, FL 32223, in the Mandarin area of Northeast Florida. The legal entity is NEIL K STEVENSON DMD, PLLC (NPI #1285242941, enumerated July 2020), and the practice is led by Dr. Neil K. Stevenson, DMD, who earned his Doctor of Medical Dentistry from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 1992, graduating third in his class. He previously earned a Bachelor of Integrated Studies (emphasis in Child and Family Studies, Chemistry, and German) from Weber State University in 1986. What sets the practice apart is its airway-centered philosophy. Dr. Stevenson evaluates how jaw position, facial development, and dental alignment affect a patient's upper airway and breathing capacity, integrating European orthodontic techniques that prioritize facial development over purely tooth-focused outcomes. The practice addresses pediatric concerns such as tongue-tie and lip-tie (via laser frenectomy), Phase 1/early orthodontics and arch development, palatal expansion, and myofunctional therapy, alongside adult services including sleep apnea appliances, QuietNite laser snoring therapy, same-day crowns, dental implants, veneers, teeth whitening, and full smile makeovers. Sedation dentistry is available for anxious patients, and emergency dental care is offered. The office is outfitted with CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), WatchPAT home sleep studies, Pharyngometer and Rhinometer acoustic airway measurements, Deka/Waterlase/Diode laser systems, in-office 3D printing and milling, ProSomnus sleep appliances, and OrthoFX clear aligners. Dr. Stevenson maintains memberships in the American Dental Association, American Academy of Facial Esthetics, Foundation for Airway Health, AAPMD (American Academy of Physiological Medicine and Dentistry), Florida Dental Association, and Northeast District Dental Association, and has completed the ECHO Mentorship (Early Childhood Health Centered Orthodontics) along with Dr. Gerber's orthodontic training programs. Patient reviews consistently highlight multi-decade relationships, thorough examinations, and a family-friendly atmosphere; the practice carries a 5.0/5 average on Google (109 reviews) and 5.0/5 across 141 reviews on Trustindex.

Airway & Sleep Dentistry
Airway and sleep-focused treatment is one of the defining offerings at Airway Dental & More.

Treatment options include custom ProSomnus oral sleep appliances, QuietNite laser therapy to reduce snoring, and orthodontic interventions that expand the airway by guiding jaw and palate development.

Pediatric Airway & Early Orthodontics (Phase 1)
For children, the practice treats Phase 1 orthodontics as an airway intervention, not just a tooth-straightening one. Every palatal expansion, crossbite correction, or jaw-guiding appliance is planned with the child's breathing, sleep, and long-term facial development in mind. Dr. Stevenson routinely evaluates mouth breathing, tongue posture, and jaw relationships in young patients, and works alongside parents and referring specialists (including speech teachers and ENTs).

Adult Orthodontics & Clear Aligners
Adult orthodontic care at Airway Dental & More is delivered through an airway-orthodontics lens. Rather than simply aligning teeth, Dr. Stevenson evaluates how jaw position, facial structure, and dental alignment affect the upper airway and breathing capacity. Treatment options include traditional brackets as well as OrthoFX clear aligner therapy using advanced plastics for predictable aesthetics.
- Comprehensive adult orthodontic evaluation with airway assessment
- OrthoFX clear aligner therapy
