Call Portland Sleep Solutions about Laser Treatment today!
Minimally invasive and often does not cause pain
Speeds up healing with less swelling
Reduces need for drills and anesthesia
Targets soft tissues precisely
Versatile: treats snoring, gum disease, and more!
At Portland Sleep Solutions, our doctors use this trusted laser for snoring treatments. The soft palate is treated to encourage collagen production and shrink tissue which can rehabilitate patients with snoring habits.
Traditional dental tools are effective, but some patients find the sensations, noise, or pressure stressful.
This modern dental laser system dramatically enhances the quality and comfort of your care.
This technology allows our team to perform over 80 different applications, ensuring precise and effective care for your smile.
1. Initial Consultation
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Gifford will review your medical and dental history, discuss your goals, and determine whether a laser-assisted option is appropriate. Laser therapy is not a substitute for all conventional procedures, so our dentist will explain where it may or may not be recommended.
2. Customized Care Plan
If laser treatment is suitable, your plan will be personalized to address your specific concern – whether airway-related therapy or snoring support.
3. Laser Procedure
During your appointment, you may feel warmth, light pressure, or mild tingling, depending on the type of procedure. Many treatments are completed in shorter sessions than traditional approaches, though this varies.
4. Aftercare Guidance
You will receive instructions on cleaning, temporary sensitivity, and dietary considerations. Most patients resume normal routines quickly, but healing times depend on the complexity of the procedure and your individual response.
Compassionate care meets high-tech solutions here! We focus on providing personalized dentistry that puts your comfort first.
Adults who snore regularly or have mild airway-related sleep disturbances—but want a minimally invasive option—may benefit. It’s especially useful for those seeking a comfortable, non-device solution instead of nightly appliances or CPAP. Suitability depends on anatomy, severity, and a full evaluation by our dentist.
Most patients describe this laser treatment as comfortable. During the session, you may feel gentle warmth in your throat or soft tissue—no pain, cutting, or vibration. No anesthesia is required. After treatment, most resume normal activities immediately. Discomfort, if any, tends to be mild and temporary. Have post-procedure questions? Connect with us today!
The standard treatment involves 3 to 5 sessions, typically spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Many patients notice improvement during the course, with results lasting up to about a year. Maintenance or repeat sessions may be offered if the effects begin to fade. Looking for a new, local clinic that offers this care? Join our practice via the New Patients page!
This laser therapy is non-invasive and uses controlled, low-energy pulses to avoid tissue damage. Because it doesn’t require incisions or anesthesia, risks are minimal. Some patients may notice mild, temporary throat or mucosal sensitivity. Our dentist will discuss all risks with you before proceeding.
