We understand the frustration and health implications of snoring, which is why we provide personalised solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our dentist with a special interest in dental sleep medicine has 18+ years of experience, and focuses on identifying the root cause of your snoring to recommend the most appropriate and effective treatment
Understanding Snoring and Its Impact
Snoring occurs when air cannot flow freely through your nose and throat during sleep, causing the surrounding tissues to vibrate and produce the characteristic harsh sound. It can effect one in four people and can lead to long-term health issues if not treated. While occasional snoring may be harmless, chronic loud snoring can indicate a more significant underlying issue such as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).
Common factors contributing to snoring include:
– Relaxed Throat Muscles: During sleep, muscles in the throat relax, narrowing the airway.
– Nasal Congestion or Obstruction: Blocked nasal passages force mouth breathing, increasing the likelihood of snoring.
– Alcohol and Sedatives: These substances further relax the throat muscles.
– Sleeping Position: Sleeping on your back can cause the tongue to fall back and obstruct the airway.
– Weight: Excess weight around the neck can narrow the airway.
Addressing snoring is crucial not just for quiet nights but also for your long-term health and vitality.

Our Snoring Treatment Solutions at The Dental Spa, London
At The Dental Spa London, we offer a range of non-invasive and highly effective treatments. We will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best approach for you:
Consultation: You will work with our dentist, who has a special interest in dental sleep medicine, to carry out a comprehensive airway, snoring, and jaw assessment. This assessment will determine the correct treatment steps you need to take.
Diagnosis: To accurately diagnose you, we’ll arrange for a 3-night, medical-grade sleep test and expert analysis to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of your condition. This is the ONLY way to accurately diagnose and differentiate between snoring and sleep apnoea. This objective data is crucial for guiding treatment.
Custom-Made Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs): Following a consultation and sleep test, we will create a custom-made snoring appliance. These bespoke oral appliances are designed to gently hold your lower jaw forward during sleep, preventing your tongue from falling back and keeping your airway open. Using a high-resolution 3D scan, our specialised lab designs a comfortable device to keep your airway open, improve airflow, and reduce grinding. MADs are a highly effective and comfortable solution for many snorers and those with mild to moderate sleep apnoea. This equipment is personalised to you, and we provide a follow-up care plan to ensure you get the best out of this treatment.
Lifestyle Advice: We’ll provide guidance on lifestyle adjustments that can significantly reduce snoring, such as weight management, avoiding alcohol before bed, and optimising sleep position.
Referrals (if necessary): If your assessment indicates more complex issues. We will provide expert referrals to the relevant dentists for further investigation and treatment, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

FAQ’s
Snoring occurs when the airflow through your mouth and nose is obstructed during sleep, causing the tissues in your throat to vibrate. This obstruction can be due to various factors, such as the position of your tongue, enlarged tonsils, nasal congestion, alcohol consumption, or even your sleeping position. While snoring can sometimes be harmless, it’s not always just a nuisance. Persistent, loud snoring, especially when accompanied by pauses in breathing or excessive daytime tiredness, can be a symptom of a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
At Dental Spa Putney, we offer effective dental-based solutions for snoring, particularly for those whose snoring is caused by a partially obstructed airway. Our primary treatment involves custom-made oral appliances, often referred to as mandibular advancement devices (MADs). These comfortable, discreet devices are worn in your mouth while you sleep and work by gently holding your lower jaw and tongue slightly forward. This helps to keep your airway open, preventing the soft tissues at the back of your throat from collapsing and vibrating, significantly reducing or even eliminating snoring.
Oral appliances are highly effective for many individuals whose snoring is due to a narrowed or obstructed airway. Studies have shown significant reductions in snoring for a large percentage of users. Our custom-made devices are designed to fit your mouth precisely, much like a sports gum shield or an orthodontic retainer. While there’s a short adjustment period, most patients find them surprisingly comfortable and easy to wear each night. We’ll ensure your appliance is perfectly fitted for maximum comfort and effectiveness during your appointments.
If you’re troubled by your snoring or if your partner has complained about it, the best first step is to book a consultation with us at Dental Spa Putney. During this appointment, we’ll discuss your symptoms, examine your mouth and jaw, and assess your specific situation. We’ll determine if an oral appliance is a suitable treatment option for your type of snoring, or if further investigation, such as a sleep study, is recommended to rule out underlying conditions like sleep apnoea. We’re here to help you achieve quieter nights and better sleep!
