Laser snoring treatment is a dental procedure used to address snoring caused by vibration of soft tissues in the airway. At Dentology Dental, Solea Sleep treatment may be considered for patients who experience chronic snoring related to soft tissue relaxation in the throat.
Solea Sleep is a procedure that uses the Solea® technology to tighten and reshape soft tissues in the back of the mouth and throat. These tissues may include the soft palate and surrounding airway structures.
When these tissues relax during sleep, they may vibrate as air passes through the airway. This vibration is a common cause of snoring.
Solea® applies controlled energy to these tissues, which may help firm the tissue structure and reduce vibration during breathing.
The procedure focuses on the soft tissues involved in snoring rather than the teeth or jaw.
Solea Sleep focuses on the tissues at the back of the mouth.
During the procedure, Solea® is used to apply controlled energy to the soft palate and nearby tissues. This energy gently remodels the collagen in the tissue, which may stimulate tightening of the tissue structure.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of tissue vibration that occurs during airflow while sleeping.
The procedure is performed in the dental clinic. The number of sessions recommended may vary depending on the patient’s airway condition and treatment response.
H2: Technology Used in Laser Snoring Treatment
Solea® technology allows us to target soft tissues in the mouth with precision.
Additional diagnostic tools may include:
Technology helps dentists evaluate airway conditions and determine whether laser treatment may be suitable.
Maintaining healthy oral tissues may support the results of snoring treatment.
Brushing and flossing help maintain oral health and reduce bacterial buildup that may affect soft tissues in the mouth.
Patients should monitor changes in snoring patterns after treatment. If snoring persists or worsens, further evaluation may be recommended.
Your dentist may review airway symptoms during routine visits.
Routine dental examinations allow your dentist to monitor oral health and identify changes in airway structures that may affect breathing during sleep.
Regular visits also support early identification of other dental concerns such as gum disease treatment needs or restorative care.
Solea Sleep is one of several approaches that may be considered for snoring.
Other treatment options may include:
Some patients may benefit from dental sleep appliances. These appliances may be considered when snoring is related to jaw position rather than soft tissue vibration.
A dental and medical evaluation helps determine which treatment option may be appropriate.
Solea Sleep focuses on soft tissues in the airway. It may not address all causes of snoring.
Laser treatment may not be suitable when:
In these cases, additional medical evaluation or other treatments may be required.
A sleep study may be recommended when sleep apnea is suspected.
At Dentology Dental, Solea Sleep treatment may be considered for patients who experience snoring related to soft tissue vibration in the airway. Treatment decisions are based on clinical findings, airway evaluation, and overall health considerations.
Because snoring may have multiple causes, evaluation may involve collaboration with medical professionals when sleep apnea is suspected.
If you have concerns about snoring or sleep-related breathing disturbances, we invite you to book an appointment to determine whether laser snoring treatment or other options may be appropriate for your needs.
