DO YOU SNORE?

Do you snore or are you tired of sleeping with someone who snores? The board certified specialists at the Institute For Better Breathing can reduce or eliminate snoring using a new simple FDA approved procedure, called Somnoplasty. The specialists perform this procedure at your convenience and for your comfort in their office. In less than an hour, Somnoplasty can eliminate some of the causes of snoring with little or no discomfort.

SNORING CAN BE A SIGN OF A SERIOUS DISORDER

Besides being disruptive, snoring can be a sign of a serious disorder called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition where a person has periods of decreased breathing during sleep, which can cause chronic sleepiness, daytime fatigue, poor work performance and poor sexual performance.

HOW CAN THE INSTITUTE FOR BETTER BREATHING
STOP YOUR SNORING?

If you have tissue floppiness in your upper airways, the board certified specialists at the Institute For Better Breathing will use the FDA approved Somnoplasty procedure to permanently stiffen and alter the shape of these tissues to reduce or eliminate your snoring. Somnoplasty can also reduce or eliminate sinus headaches, post nasal drip and also reduce the impact of allergic reaction.

EXACTLY WHAT IS SOMNOPLASTY?

The doctors at the Institute For Better Breathing will perform the Somnoplasty procedure in their office using a local anesthetic. The procedure takes less than an hour with only 5 to 10 minutes of actual exposure to the radio waves.

WHY DOES SOMNOPLASTY WORK?

The FDA approved Somnoplasty procedure treats snoring and obstructive sleep apnea by shrinking soft tissues in the upper airway. Somnoplasty permanently alters the shape of the soft palate. The new stiffer shape of the soft palate does not vibrate in a way that causes snoring.

Somnoplasty can also reduce enlarged turbinates in the nose, reducing the problems of restricted airflow in the nose. This improved air flow can resolve sinus headaches, nasal stuffiness, nasal drip and recurrent sinus infections.

SOMNOPLASTY IS SAFE, PAINLESS, AND EASY TO HAVE DONE

Somnoplasty is safe
Now, the Somnoplasty procedure available at the Institute For Better Breathing is a significant improvement over previous techniques. Somnoplasty will not destroy the delicate tissue lining of the throat like other types of snoring surgery such as laser or cautery. It is the destruction of this lining that causes significant discomfort as well as carrying other surgical risks.

The board-certified specialists at the Institute For Better Breathing perform Somnoplasty in their offices. The shorter a medical procedure is, the safer it is. Your actual exposure to low level radio waves is less than 10 minutes. You will be done with the procedure in less than 60 minutes.

Somnoplasty is painless

For years, there was no available non-invasive solution for snoring reduction or nasal obstruction. Previously, surgical options would succeed in reducing upper airway obstruction, but carried significant postoperative pain. Somnoplasty does not hurt. Since the delicate lining of the palate and nose are protected, the Somnoplasty procedure will allow you a quick and virtually painless recovery.

You will resume your normal activities after the procedure using only a mild pain reliever such as Tylenol.

Somnoplasty is easy to have done

Somnoplasty is easy to have done because you are treated conveniently in the comfortable offices of the Institute For Better Breathing, eliminating inconvenient and costly hospitalization. Anesthetic is only a mouth gargle and a small amount of injected anesthetic similar to Novocain. Discomfort is minimal and you will return, if you want, to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.

If you are burdened with annoying disruptive snoring, habitual snoring, or snoring that prevents your partner from sleeping in the same room, you are a candidate for Somnoplasty.

If you suffer from sinus headaches, snoring, allergies, post nasal drip or chronic nasal obstruction that is the result of enlarged nasal turbinates, you are a candidate for Somnoplasty.

Somnoplasty is an FDA approved procedure for the treatment of habitual snoring. Various insurance plans and Medicare cover the procedure. Please contact us for accurate information and to discuss your particular situation.

Initial evaluation of snoring and the sleep test for obstructive sleep apnea is nearly always covered by insurance. If you have sleep apnea, most insurance plans cover the cost of testing. We offer various package arrangements that cover the total cost of the procedure, including the doctor's fee for the first treatment.
