Snoring can disrupt your sleep and the sleep of your loved ones. For many individuals, it is more than a nighttime nuisance — it is often a symptom of obstructed breathing, which may be linked to sleep apnea or other health concerns. NightLase™ is a gentle and noninvasive laser treatment designed to reduce or eliminate snoring by tightening the tissues of the airway. If you struggle with chronic snoring, this advanced technology may offer you a safe and effective solution without the need for surgery or bulky appliances.
How NightLase Works
NightLase in Clermont, Florida, uses a laser to gently heat the soft tissues at the back of your throat, particularly the soft palate and uvula. Over time, the heat stimulates collagen production and causes the tissues to contract and tighten. This tightening effect opens the airway, reducing the vibrations that produce the sound of snoring. The treatment is completed in a series of short sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. Many patients report noticeable improvement after just one session, with results continuing to improve after each visit.
What to Expect During Treatment
NightLase is quick and virtually painless. There is no need for anesthesia or downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after each session. Our dentist and team deliver your laser treatment in a controlled and precise manner to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm tingling feeling. Each session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
Benefits of NightLase Therapy
NightLase offers many advantages over traditional snoring treatments. It is noninvasive, meaning there are no surgical risks, stitches or lengthy recovery periods. Unlike CPAP machines or oral appliances, NightLase does not require nightly use or equipment maintenance. The treatment is also quiet, comfortable and discreet, making it ideal for patients who want a more convenient option to address their snoring. Results often last up to a year or longer, and periodic touch-up sessions can help maintain your improved breathing.
Is NightLase Right for You?
If you or your partner struggle with snoring, a consultation with Dr. Amber Rowe can help determine whether NightLase is appropriate for your needs. This treatment is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate snoring due to soft palate laxity. It may not be the best solution for severe obstructive sleep apnea, which often requires more advanced medical intervention. During your evaluation, our dentist will review your health history and assess your airway to develop a personalized plan.
