Do you snore? If so, you’re not alone; about 45% of people do it.* That said, anyone with a significant snoring problem knows that it can severely impact the quality of their sleep (not to mention their partner’s). When consistent snoring interferes with sleep patterns, your entire system can be thrown off – from your physical health to your mental wellbeing.
Thankfully, our Austin dentists offer Solea Sleep. This revolutionary laser treatment was designed to tighten the collagen in the soft palate of the mouth, opening the airway and reducing the “fluttering” vibrations that cause snoring. The procedure is typically very quick, painless, and long-lasting, making it an ideal option for many patients seeking relief from snoring.*
What Benefits Can Solea Sleep Achieve?
The potential benefits of the Solea Sleep treatment include:
- Dramatic reduction of palatal snoring
- Enhanced sleep quality (ergo, more energy, better mood, and increased concentration during the day)
- A safe and relatively painless procedure
- Two quick treatments with no recovery time required
- Virtually immediate results
In addition to these advantages, Solea Sleep can improve your partner’s sleep quality, allowing them to enjoy the perks of a good night’s sleep. You might even call Solea Sleep a “marriage saver!”
Moreover, it’s important to note that Solea Sleep cannot directly combat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). While throat snoring is a symptom of this disorder, sleep apnea is more specifically characterized by pauses in breathing and drops in blood oxygen levels.
What Does the Solea Sleep Procedure Involve?
The Solea Sleep process generally takes five minutes to complete, and we usually recommend two treatments spaced a month apart. For your comfort, your dentist will use a topical anesthetic before gently applying specialized laser energy to your soft palate. Patients typically do not experience any pain during the session, but they may notice some mild soreness or irritation for about a day after the procedure. Results are usually noticeable right away and can last up to an astonishing 15 months.
How Much Does Solea Sleep Cost?
Solea Sleep costs approximately $800 and is not covered by insurance. Please note, however, that you may qualify for low-interest dental financing through CareCredit®, with whom Austin Dental Spa proudly partners.
