A New Approach to Treating Snoring
NightLase™ is a fast, non-invasive way for patients dealing with snoring and sleep apnea to improve the quality of their sleep. Designer Dentistry & Smiles is proud to be the first practice in the Sioux Falls area qualified to offer NightLase™, providing patients throughout Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, and Tea with a laser treatment that has shown a high success rate in producing positive change in sleep patterns by increasing airway space.
Unlike traditional snoring and sleep apnea treatments, NightLase™ requires no device to be worn during sleep, involves no chemical treatment, and does not require anesthesia. Gentle laser light energy tightens and elevates the soft palate, increasing airway space and reducing the intensity of snoring, all without needles or cutting. This technique has been used successfully in Europe for many years and is now available to patients in the United States.

Is NightLase™ Right for You?
NightLase™ is a great option for patients dealing with snoring, as well as those with mild to moderate sleep apnea who are looking for an alternative or complement to CPAP or oral appliance therapy. It is particularly well suited for patients who cannot tolerate the mask or fit of a CPAP machine and are searching for another effective way to manage their symptoms. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your airway and sleep concerns to determine whether NightLase is an appropriate treatment for your needs.
Your NightLase™ Treatment Timeline
NightLase™ treatment is structured to deliver noticeable, lasting results over a short series of appointments.
Initial Consultation
A consultation of about 30 minutes allows our team to evaluate your airway and determine whether NightLase™ is right for you.
First Treatment Session
The first of three 30-minute sessions begins the process of tightening and toning the soft palate tissue.
Second Treatment Session
A second session, spaced out over the six-week treatment period, continues building on the results of the first.
Third Treatment Session
The final session completes the initial treatment series, with most patients seeing their best results at this point.
Ongoing Maintenance
Results typically last up to a year. When snoring becomes more noticeable again as tissue relaxes over time, an additional session can help maintain restful sleep.
How NightLase™ Works
NightLase™ uses superficial laser light energy to gently heat the tissue of the soft palate, causing the tissue to tighten and tone over time. This tightening effect reduces the intensity of snoring and helps open the airway for easier breathing throughout the night. The laser energy also stimulates new collagen formation in the treated area, supporting longer-lasting results. Unlike other snoring treatments, NightLase™ involves no cutting or removal of tissue at any point in the process.
Ready to Sleep Quietly Again?
If snoring is affecting your sleep or your partner's, NightLase™ offers a fast, comfortable way to find relief without needles, medication, or a device to wear at night. Our team is here to help determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment.
