Conditions We Treat

 

Snoring
Snoring involves the noisy vibration of tissue in the throat when the airway is narrowed or partially blocked during sleep.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common disorder characterized by interrupted breathing or shallow breaths during sleep.


Treatment & Procedure Options

Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea surgery comes in many forms, all essentially aimed to help prevent the breathing airway from narrowing or closing during sleep. Some examples of procedures include uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, thermal ablation palatoplasty, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, genioglossus and hyoid advancement, tongue-base reduction, and nasal surgery.

Treatment Options for Snoring
Treatments for snoring depend on the underlying cause and can include surgical or nonsurgical options such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, thermal ablation palatoplasty, injection snoreplasty, soft palate treatment, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, or over-the-counter products. A medical diagnostic evaluation can determine the appropriate course of action.
