Do you or your partner struggle with snoring?

It’s more than just a nuisance; snoring can disrupt your sleep, lead to fatigue, and even affect your overall health. Understanding the root cause of your snoring is essential for finding the right treatment.

Your journey to better sleep starts here.

What Causes Snoring?

Snoring can disrupt more than just your sleep—it affects your health and relationships.

Snoring occurs when the airflow through your mouth and nose is partially obstructed during sleep, causing the tissues in your throat to vibrate. This can be due to various factors such as nasal congestion, obesity, or anatomical issues.

Comprehensive Assessment: We’ll start with a thorough evaluation of your medical history and sleep habits. Understanding your individual situation is key to determining the right approach.
Sleep Study: Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend a home sleep study to assess the severity of your snoring and determine if you have sleep apnea.
Treatment Options: Based on your assessment and sleep study results, we will discuss personalised treatment options. This could include oral appliances, lifestyle modifications, or a referral to a specialist if needed.

How Can You Stop Snoring?

Addressing snoring effectively requires a tailored approach based on the underlying cause of the issue.

Lifestyle Changes: Simple adjustments can reduce snoring. Try managing your weight, sleeping on your side, avoiding alcohol or sedatives before bed, and using nasal strips or a humidifier to improve airflow.
Medical Interventions: For persistent cases, medical treatments like CPAP therapy, which keeps your airway open, or surgery to remove excess tissue may be recommended.
Oral Appliances: Custom-fitted devices, such as mandibular advancement devices or tongue retainers, can keep your airway clear by adjusting your jaw or tongue.
Nasal Treatments: Options like nasal sprays or strips can help reduce congestion and improve airflow.

Find relief from snoring and wake up refreshed with our tailored treatments that help you breathe easier at night.

Although a double appointment with the Hygienist is not my idea of fun, Rihanna and her Assistant were as usual very pleasant and took care to carry out the various procedures with care and ensure my comfort and provide good advice for future dental hygiene. Inverleith Dental practice can be recommended for care. .

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

I would very highly recommend the Inverleith Dental clinic. They are very professional and really knowledgeable. The admin staff is very helpful and will get you the information that you need to make a decision abo the best treatments you need. Dr. John McAleavy is excellent. He was also very knowledgeable about my TMJ issues and he was really understanding during the appointment and he sign posted me to the tools I needed; this made me feel that he cares about my progress and the best outcome for my case. Overall, I had a great experience and I can confidently say that will come back to Inverleith for any follow ups and future dental needs.

Highly recommend to anyone.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.
