Snoring

Solea Sleep – A Quiet Night’s Rest

Snoring is more than just a nuisance for your partner; it is often a sign of a compromised airway that prevents you from getting the deep, restorative sleep your body needs. At Westside Dental, we address snoring at its source with Solea Sleep—a rapid, non-surgical laser treatment that opens your airway and dramatically reduces or eliminates snoring.

How Solea Sleep Works

The primary cause of snoring is the vibration of relaxed tissue in the soft palate (the back of your throat) while you breathe during sleep. The Solea laser uses highly targeted, gentle light energy to safely warm the collagen in these soft tissues. This warming effect causes the tissue to naturally contract and tighten, opening up your airway and preventing the vibrations that cause the sound of snoring.

The Benefits of Laser Snoring Treatment

  • Non-Surgical & Needle-Free: There are no incisions, no stitches, and no injections. We simply apply a topical numbing spray to the back of your throat to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the short procedure.
  • Incredibly Fast: The entire treatment is typically completed in just a single 5 to 15-minute visit.
  • Zero Downtime: Because the procedure is so gentle, there is no recovery period. You can return to work, eat, drink, and go about your day immediately afterward with only a minor, temporary sore throat feeling.
  • Immediate Relief: Most patients (and their partners!) notice a significant reduction in snoring on the very first night following the treatment.
