– Snoring Treatment in Calgary SW

Snoring affects the sleep quality of everyone in the household – not just the person snoring. At Westside Dental, we offer two effective, non-invasive dental solutions for snoring: Solea laser soft palate therapy, which tightens the tissue that vibrates and causes snoring, and custom oral appliances, which hold the jaw in a position that keeps the airway open during sleep.

How we treat it: Solea laser snoring treatment applies gentle laser energy to the soft palate to firm and tighten the tissue – reducing its tendency to vibrate and collapse. The procedure takes approximately 15 minutes, requires no needles or incisions, and has no downtime. For patients whose snoring is related to jaw position and airway geometry, a custom-fitted oral appliance repositions the lower jaw to maintain airway patency during sleep.

Note: If you suspect sleep apnea rather than simple snoring, a physician assessment and sleep test are recommended first. Dr. Sabah, our on-site family physician, can conduct this through our Advanced Sleep program.
