At My Smile Care, we feature cutting-edge technology in order to offer you the best care possible. When it comes to snoring and sleep apnea treatment, our dentists and team are proud to offer Fotona’s NightLase® therapy in Westford, Massachusetts. Patient friendly and non-invasive, this laser treatment gently contracts the collagen in the oral mucosa tissue, which creates a tightening effect that can help address the symptoms and causes of disruptive sleep apnea and reduce nighttime snoring so you can get the good night’s rest you deserve. Want to learn more about your sleep apnea treatment options? Call our office at 978-692-6326 to schedule your visit with Dr. Dheeraj Pamidimukkala and Dr. Deepak Shinde today.
How Does It Work?
The Fotona laser works by generating heat which can penetrate the oral mucosa tissue for simple, safe and effective surgeries. By optimizing the length of each pulse, the laser achieves a gentle-ness that makes it ideal for use on the sensitive tissues of the mouth, but a strength that ensures it is effective and powerful none the less.
The NightLase therapy itself has a high success rate, and many doctors and dentists have found it to be a useful way to positively change their patients’ sleep patterns, reducing snoring and the symptoms of sleep apnea.
Your Comfort in Mind
The entire NightLase therapy treatment takes place over the course of six weeks, during which there are three treatment sessions. The results themselves, though, can last up to a year and are completely safe to repeat.
Because NightLase therapy requires no oral appliances to be worn during the day or at night, as well as no chemical treatments, many patients find it to be a very comfortable and satisfying alternative to traditional sleep apnea solutions.
Precision and Quality
The NightLase therapy can be conducted with a number of different Fotona lasers designed for this specific procedure, and the quality of Fotona technology allows for full customizability, so our dentists can accurately address your specific oral health goals. This technology has the ability to penetrate deeply into the without damaging it or leaving any long term scars. It can also be targeted so easily so no unintentional surrounding tissue is affected by the laser.
