Improve sleep quality with expert treatments for snoring and oral health.
Snoring is a common sleep-related breathing disorder caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat when airflow is partially blocked. While occasional snoring is harmless, chronic snoring can indicate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a serious condition linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and poor sleep quality.
People who snore often experience daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and disturbed sleep for both themselves and their partners. Identifying and addressing the root cause can lead to improved health and restful sleep.

Snoring may indicate obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), especially if it includes pauses in breathing and choking episodes.
Yes, dentists provide oral appliances that reposition the jaw to improve airflow and reduce snoring.
Yes, weight loss can reduce fat around the throat, decreasing airway obstruction.
Most patients recover within 7-10 days, with swelling subsiding after 2-3 days.
While nasal strips and sprays may provide temporary relief, long-term treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Yes, children may snore due to enlarged tonsils, nasal congestion, or sleep disorders, and should be evaluated if snoring is frequent
