At Black Mountain Family Dentistry, we understand how vital a restful night’s sleep is to your overall well-being. Sleep apnea and snoring can significantly affect your health, relationships, and quality of life. That’s why we are proud to offer Fotona's NightLase® therapy—a safe, non-invasive, and effective solution for improving sleep quality and reducing the effects of sleep apnea and snoring.
NightLase® is a cutting-edge laser treatment designed to address snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. This patient-friendly therapy utilizes a gentle, patented Er:YAG laser to tighten the soft tissue in the oral mucosa, the lining of the mouth and throat. The process stimulates the collagen in the tissue, resulting in a natural tightening effect that helps to reduce the amplitude of snoring and improve airflow during sleep.
This gentle laser treatment is safe and effective, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional sleep apnea treatments, such as CPAP machines and oral appliances. Unlike these methods, NightLase® doesn't require any devices to be worn during sleep and involves no chemical treatments, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking a comfortable, hassle-free solution to their sleep issues.
NightLase® uses Fotona's patented Er:YAG laser modality, which optimizes the length of laser pulses to safely penetrate the oral mucosa tissue. The controlled heat from the laser stimulates collagen production and tightens the soft tissues, which helps reduce airway obstruction—the main cause of snoring and sleep apnea. By tightening the tissue in the throat, the therapy helps prevent the collapse of the airway during sleep, improving breathing patterns and promoting restful sleep.
A full course of NightLase® therapy typically involves three treatment sessions spaced over a six-week period. Each session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes, during which you will experience minimal discomfort. Patients often describe the treatment as gentle, with no need for anesthesia.
The best part? Unlike other sleep apnea treatments that require nightly use, NightLase® is a one-time, non-invasive solution that provides long-lasting results. While the full effects of the treatment can last up to a year, follow-up sessions can be scheduled if necessary to maintain the benefits.
One of the key benefits of NightLase® is its safety. The Er:YAG laser technology used in the treatment is specifically designed to be gentle on the sensitive tissues inside the mouth, yet powerful enough to achieve clinically proven results. Research has shown that NightLase® can significantly reduce the severity of snoring and improve the quality of sleep for patients, offering a high success rate in producing positive changes in sleep patterns.
This therapy is simple for any trained dental professional to perform, and it’s been clinically proven to be both effective and safe. NightLase® is an excellent option for patients looking for a non-invasive solution to sleep apnea without the discomfort or hassle of traditional treatments.
