Snoring & Sleep Disorders
At Friendly Smiles Dental, we believe quality sleep is essential to your overall well-being. Our holistic dental approach addresses the underlying causes of snoring and sleep-disordered breathing, providing long-term, non-invasive solutions that support both oral and systemic health.
Snoring and sleep apnoea are not just nighttime annoyances—they can seriously impact your mood, energy, and long-term health. Whether you're searching for snoring treatment in Coorparoo or seeking a natural alternative to CPAP, our team is here to help.
Understanding Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Snoring occurs when airflow is restricted during sleep, causing the tissues in your throat to vibrate. It can be a sign of something more serious—like obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)—a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts throughout the night.
The link between snoring and sleep apnoea is well-established, with both often stemming from structural or muscular imbalances in the mouth, jaw, and airway. Many patients don’t realise how interconnected oral health is with sleep health. That’s where dental sleep medicine comes in.
Holistic Dental Sleep Medicine in Brisbane Southside
Unlike traditional approaches that rely solely on CPAP machines or medication, our treatments are grounded in holistic dental care. We assess your jaw alignment, oral health, sleep habits, and airway function as part of a whole-body solution.
We offer custom dental appliances for snoring and sleep apnoea designed to open the airway gently and comfortably while you sleep. Our mandibular advancement splints and occlusal splints reposition your jaw slightly forward to reduce airway blockage—offering you (and your partner) a restful night.
Custom Dental Devices for Snoring
Each person’s anatomy is unique, so we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Our custom oral appliances include:
Mandibular Repositioning Devices
Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS)
Snoring Mouthguards (Coorparoo and Brisbane-wide)
Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Apnoea
Occlusal Splints (especially for those with bruxism or TMJ issues)
These devices are compact, portable, and far more comfortable than bulky CPAP equipment—perfect for patients seeking non-invasive snoring solutions in Coorparoo.
Natural and Non-Invasive Snoring Treatments
As a holistic dental clinic, we prioritise gentle, non-invasive treatments. Many of our patients are surprised at how effective dental devices can be—not just for reducing snoring, but for improving energy levels, lowering blood pressure, and even reducing the frequency of headaches.
If you’ve been searching for natural remedies for snoring or exploring the benefits of oral appliances over CPAP, we can help guide you with evidence-based care tailored to your needs.
