Sleep Apnea, A Worry of The Past. Learn more!
Restful sleep isn’t a luxury. Unfortunately, if you suffer from snoring or sleeping disorders, it can feel like one. At Artaza Dental, our dentist for snoring in Katy, TX, uses innovative, patient-focused dental techniques to relieve sleep disorder symptoms, including the QuietNite Laser. You’ll finally get the rest you deserve.
Sleep disorders can interfere with your breathing, rest, and quality of life. Left untreated, they can take a toll on your health in ways that go beyond exhaustion. For instance, constant mouth breathing at night could increase your chance of cavities. You might even have a higher risk of systemic issues.
If you’re experiencing any of the following sleep disorder symptoms, or if your partner has reported some of these, it’s time to take action:
While sleep science and dentistry might seem like an unlikely match, oral healthcare plays a crucial role in addressing these conditions. Our dentist in Cinco Ranch can even recognize some signs of sleeping disorders just from your dental exam, such as a large tongue or tonsils, a narrow jaw, and other indicators that your airway could be blocked during sleep, causing snoring. Artaza Dental could be the first step in recognizing you have an issue.
Our sleeping disorder treatments are customized to each person. When you come in for an assessment, we’ll go over your symptoms, check your oral anatomy, and devise the best therapies and treatments to get you relief and rest.
QuietNite Laser Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that effectively improves sleep disorders like snoring and more. Using the DEKA CO2 laser, this therapy targets the soft palate, tonsils, tongue, and cheeks, stimulating collagen production to tighten and tone these tissues. The laser also decontaminates frequently infected tonsils and helps reduce tonsil stones by sterilizing the area.
This quick, painless in-office procedure seals nerve endings, resulting in minimal to no post-operative discomfort. By improving airway function day and night, QuietNite enhances breathing and overall sleep quality without anesthesia or downtime. Patients typically experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions.
Patients can immediately drink, eat and resume normal activities. An average of one or two procedures spaced 30 days apart annually is all that is needed to see results for most patients.
Laser therapy is also a great tool used in conjunction with other sleep aids and appliances prescribed by your doctor to give you a better night’s rest.
The cost of DEKA QuietNite treatment ranges per application depending on complexity.
Insurance will likely not cover DEKA QuietNite procedures. Both dental and medical insurance view DEKA QuietNite as an “elective” procedure.
Ease of use for the treatment means that DEKA QuietNite can be used quickly and frequently. For patients commonly experiencing snoring symptoms, treatment from DEKA QuietNite can be used annually, even during regular cleanings and hygiene visits.
Generally, snoring and similar issues are caused by tissue blocking your airway. When your throat muscles relax during sleep, your tonsils, tongue, or other tissues can block your airway.
Risk factors for developing breathing issues during sleep include:
Absolutely. We work to treat the whole patient, so our snoring and sleeping issue treatments can include lifestyle recommendations. Some common ones are maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime, sleeping on your side instead of your back, and practicing good oral hygiene.
Many disorders require treatment to be managed effectively. Without intervention from healthcare professionals, your condition could worsen over time. That could mean more severe health issues.
Moreover, why suffer through feeling constantly tired or battling never-ending grogginess? Treatment is worth it for improved quality of life, not to mention the overall benefit to your health.
Some insurance plans cover help from a laser snoring treatment dentist like ours. Our Katy, TX, dental team will help verify your coverage and guide you through the claims process. We also offer multiple payment options, from third-party financing to our membership plan.
