Laser Snoring Reduction in Nyack, NY

A quieter night, for the person lying next to you as much as for you.

Laser snoring reduction uses the Fotona laser to gently tighten the soft tissue at the back of the throat, which reduces the vibration that causes snoring. At our Nyack dental office the course costs $1,695, involves no surgery, no mask and no appliance, and there is no downtime afterward.

Have a spouse that snores? You’re not alone.

In Dr. Bodie's experience, it is rarely the snorer who has the concern… It’s whoever has to listen to it. If you have been elbowed awake, exiled to the spare room or handed this page by someone pointedly, that is the ordinary way this conversation starts, and there is no judgment in it.

What snoring treatment looks like

Snoring happens when loose soft tissue at the back of the throat vibrates as you breathe. The laser warms that tissue in a controlled way so it tightens and stiffens slightly, which reduces the vibration. Nothing is cut, nothing is removed and there is no device to wear afterward. Sessions are short and you can drive yourself home and go back to your day.

One treatment lasts about a year

It’s worth saying up front that this treatment is not permanent. Dr. Bodie's own account is that the effect does tend to revert somewhat after about a year, and patients come back for a top-up. It does work, and it is worth knowing the shape of it before you spend anything rather than after. Patients from Valley Cottage and around our Nyack dental practice generally decide that is a fair trade for a year of quiet.

How much does laser snoring reduction cost in Nyack, NY?

Laser snoring reduction is $1,695 for the course at our Nyack dental office. Most patients return for a top-up after about a year, which is quoted separately. Your consultation is free, and Affirm financing can spread the cost into monthly payments.

What is laser snoring reduction?

Laser snoring reduction is a non-surgical treatment that uses a laser to gently tighten the soft tissue at the back of the throat. Tighter tissue vibrates less as you breathe, which reduces snoring. There is no cutting, no mask and no appliance to wear at night.

Does laser snoring treatment hurt?

The treatment involves minimal discomfort. Most patients describe warmth at the back of the throat rather than pain, there is no numbing needed, and you can eat, drink and talk normally afterward.

How long does laser snoring reduction last?

Laser snoring reduction lasts around a year for most patients before the effect starts to fade, and then they return for a top-up. Dr. Bodie is straightforward about this: it does tend to revert somewhat after about a year, and it does work in the meantime.

How many appointments does it take?

Laser snoring reduction is delivered as a short course of quick appointments rather than one long session, with your exact schedule set out at the free consultation. The $1,695 covers the course.

Can anyone have laser snoring treatment?

Most healthy adults who snore are suitable candidates for laser snoring treatment, and that is checked at the free consultation before anything is booked. Snoring can occasionally point to a medical condition, in which case this is not the right treatment and he will tell you so and send you to your physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My partner has stopped sleeping in the same room. Can this fix that?

    That is precisely the problem this treats, and it is the most common reason people book it. Come in for a free consultation and Dr. Bodie will tell you honestly whether you are a good candidate.

  • Do I have to wear something at night?

    No. There is no mask, no mouthpiece and nothing to remember at bedtime. That is the main reason people choose this over the alternatives.

  • Is laser snoring reduction permanent?

    No, and we would rather you knew that now. The effect tends to fade somewhat after about a year and most patients come back for a top-up. It works well in between.

  • Is laser snoring reduction a type of surgery? Will I need time off?

    Neither. Nothing is cut or removed, there is no downtime, and you can drive yourself home and go on with your day.

  • What if my snoring is actually something more serious?

    Then this is not the right treatment and Dr. Bodie will say so. Snoring can sometimes point to a medical condition that needs a physician, and that is a conversation for your doctor rather than your dentist.
