Solea Sleep

A Gentle, Non‑Surgical Solution for Snoring

If snoring is disrupting your sleep — or your partner’s — Shawano Family Dentistry now offers a simple, comfortable solution. Solea® Sleep is a quick, non‑invasive laser treatment that reduces snoring by tightening the soft tissues in the back of the mouth. There are no appliances, no surgery, and no downtime. Just easier breathing and quieter nights.

Dr. Stevens and our team are proud to bring this innovative technology to our Shawano community, helping patients sleep better and feel better.

What Is Solea Sleep?

Solea Sleep uses advanced laser energy to gently tighten the tissues of the soft palate, which is often the source of snoring. When these tissues become loose or vibrate during sleep, snoring occurs. The Solea laser strengthens and firms the area, reducing that vibration — and the noise that comes with it.

The treatment is fast, comfortable, and performed right here in our office.

How Solea Sleep Works

Solea Sleep uses a specialized wavelength of laser energy to:

  • Tighten collagen fibers in the soft palate

  • Increase airway space for easier breathing

  • Reduce tissue vibration, which is the primary cause of snoring

Most patients notice improvement the same night as their treatment.

Benefits of Solea Sleep

✔ Non‑Surgical & Needle‑Free

No cutting, no anesthesia, and no recovery time.

✔ Quick Treatment

The entire appointment typically takes 5–10 minutes.

✔ Immediate Results

Many patients report quieter sleep the very first night.

✔ Comfortable Experience

Most describe the sensation as warm air — no pain, no discomfort.

✔ Long‑Lasting Relief

Results typically last 12–15 months, and touch‑ups are simple.

✔ Ideal for Adults of All Ages

A great option for patients who want a gentle, non‑CPAP snoring solution.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring often occurs when the airway becomes partially blocked during sleep. Common causes include:

  • Relaxed or loose soft palate tissue

  • Narrowed airway

  • Aging

  • Weight changes

  • Nasal congestion

  • Sleeping position

Solea Sleep specifically targets the soft palate — one of the most common and treatable causes of snoring.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your Solea Sleep visit is simple and stress‑free:

  1. Evaluation Dr. Stevens will examine your airway and determine if you’re a good candidate.

  2. Treatment The Solea laser is applied to the soft palate for a few minutes. You’ll feel warmth, but no pain.

  3. Immediate Return to Normal Activities There’s no downtime — you can eat, drink, and go about your day as usual.

  4. Results Many patients notice improvement that night, with continued benefits over the next few weeks.

Is Solea Sleep Right for You?

You may be a great candidate if you:

  • Snore regularly

  • Wake up feeling tired

  • Have a partner who struggles with your snoring

  • Want a non‑invasive alternative to CPAP or oral appliances

  • Prefer a quick, comfortable treatment with no downtime

Solea Sleep is designed for snoring, not sleep apnea. If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, Dr. Stevens can guide you toward the appropriate evaluation and care.

I Just moved into the area and this was my first appointment with Shawano Family Dentistry. The staff was very friendly and made my visit for a cleaning and x-rays stress free and went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. The cleaning, exam and x-rays were more thorough than any I've had with any other dentist in years. Strongly recommend them to anyone new to the area.

Shawano Family Denistry is very friendly and Dr. Stevens, along with her staff, genuinely cares how you are feeling! They have followed up with texts and/or phones call to check-in after dental work, they made availability in their schedule to fit in extra appointments when an emergency concern has come up. My children have had positive experiences and enjoy going to the dentist! They do excellent work and are highly recommended!
