SURGERY FOR SNORING & SLEEP APNEA.
What exactly is snoring?
Snoring is a common breathing phenomenon during sleep that occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is obstructed, causing tissues in the throat to vibrate. This vibration creates the familiar sound of snoring! Factors like the relaxation of throat muscles, blockage in the nasal passages, or the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses can contribute to how much or little you snore. In some cases, snoring can be a symptom of a sleep disorder called sleep apnea, where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Snoring itself may not always be a health concern, but in cases where it’s loud, disruptive, or linked to sleep disturbances, seeking medical help may be beneficial to understand and address any underlying issues. That’s where we come in!

Common causes of snoring & OSA
Certain physical characteristics, such as having a narrow airway, a large soft palate, a relaxed throat, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids, can contribute to snoring and OSA. Other factors such as obesity, age, genetics, and alcohol use can contribute to snoring.
Why seek treatment?
If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to various health complications and negatively impact your overall well-being. Some potential consequences of untreated OSA include cardiovascular issues and increased risk of stroke. Come see us today!
Tools for self-diagnosis
One of the hallmark symptoms of OSA is the repeated cessation or pauses in breathing during sleep, followed by gasping or choking sensations as breathing resumes. Additional symptoms include daytime fatigue or irritability or morning headaches.
Am I a good surgical candidate?
We will consider several factors to determine your candidacy for surgery by using a polysomnography (sleep study) and considering anotomical factors, overall health markers, and your personal preferences.
