  • What is sleep apnea?

    Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep. These interruptions can last from a few seconds to minutes and often occur multiple times throughout the night, disrupting the sleep cycle and reducing sleep quality.

  • How to treat sleep apnea?

    Treatment varies depending on the severity and underlying causes. Common treatments include lifestyle changes, oral appliances, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Elevate Dental Wellness focuses on holistic, noninvasive approaches, such as custom-made oral appliances that help keep the airway open during sleep and NightLase® therapy. Nightlase® is a laser treatment that diminishes oral tissue to make space in your airway.

  • Does snoring mean sleep apnea?

    While snoring can be a common symptom of sleep apnea, not everyone who snores has the condition. Snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat, while sleep apnea involves a complete or partial airway blockage. If you or a loved one snores and experiences daytime fatigue, seeking a professional evaluation is essential to determine if sleep apnea is the cause.

  • How does Nightlase treatment work?

    NightLase® laser treatment uses laser energy to gently heat the tissues of the throat, causing them to contract and tighten. This process helps to reduce the vibrations that cause snoring and can improve the airway opening, making it easier to breathe. The treatment is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and typically involves a series of short sessions. Patients can expect a comfortable experience with minimal downtime and noticeable results in reducing snoring and improving sleep quality.
