Laser Treatment for Snoring

Dr. David - Bolton, MA Dentist - Dental Tooth Bonding Fotona’s NightLase® snoring treatment is a non-invasive, patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue.

Simple, Safe and Effective

Fotona’s patented Er:YAG laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.

NightLase is easy for any doctor or dentist to perform and has a high success rate in producing a positive change in sleep patterns. Research has shown that NightLase reduces and attenuates snoring and provides an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of sleep apnea.

Cold Laser Therapy

We have been providing cold laser therapy, (aka low-level laser therapy
(LLLT) or photobiomodulation) in our office for many years as part of an
overall treatment plan to help provide pain relief to our patients. This is a
non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity laser light to stimulate
healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation. Sessions take only 10 to 15
minutes, and they are safe and painless!

How We Perform It

As part of the initial consultation, we will be gathering information about your
concerns, discussing your medical history and determining if cold therapy
makes sense as part of your overall treatment plan.
If it makes sense for your treatment, we will seat you in one of the
operatories and assure you are comfortable. The targeted area is cleaned,
and we provide you with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from laser
exposure. Next, one of our trained team members will use a handheld
device that emits low-level laser light to provide treatment.
Again, the treatment is painless, and patients usually feel nothing or may
experience a slight warming sensation. Since cold laser therapy is non-
invasive and gentle, there is no downtime! Patients can return to their daily
activities immediately after the session.

Key Benefits for Our Patients:

Our patients have received the following benefits from cold laser treatments:



Pain Management/Pain Relief:

Cold laser therapy helps to alleviate chronic jaw pain, associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. We also use this therapy following some of the dental procedures that we perform in our office such as extractions, root canals and gum surgery.



Reduced Inflammation:

The therapy can help reduce inflammation in tissues, which is beneficial to dental conditions such as gum inflammation. We also can use it after an implant is placed or after a deep cleaning to minimize inflammation and accelerate the return to normal tissue function.



Accelerated Healing:

It enhances the healing of soft tissues, like the gums, after procedures like periodontal therapy because it stimulates cell regeneration to help reduce recovery times.
