Overview
Simple solutions to a complex condition.
Most people don’t realize that snoring is a complex, multi-faceted condition and that there are a variety of anatomical factors that can cause a person to snore including:
• Loose or lagging soft palate
• Obstructed nasal breathing - turbinates
• Elongated uvula
• Enlarged tonsils or base of the tongue
• Lifestyle choices and aging
For the vast majority of people, a combination of these factors ultimately produces the noxious noise known as snoring.
Understanding your snoring condition.
The first step to stopping snoring is to understand why it starts. Everyone’s anatomy is unique, so before we recommend a solution, we first pinpoint your particular problem areas. During your 45-minute evaluation, our specialized team of nurses and physicians will use the latest oral and nasal imaging technology to examine your airways and show you the anatomical causes of your snoring.
Our solutions are customized, comprehensive and convenient.
Customized: Because the condition of snoring is complex and unique to each patient, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. At Sereno, we tailor our treatments to each individual patient to target your unique problem areas.
Comprehensive: Rather than focus on a single contributing factor, our solutions are designed to treat the various causes of your snoring. Our goal is to alleviate snoring, and both medical research and our experience strongly suggest that multi-level, comprehensive treatment achieves optimal results.
Convenient: Sereno is the world’s preeminent provider of solutions designed around minimally invasive medical procedures. We focus on providing patients with a course of treatment that represents their least invasive alternative, in other words, a solution that you can actually live with.
Medical technology has advanced in recent years. Similar to how Lasik revolutionized vision correction, minimally invasive FDA approved medical procedures are revolutionizing the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Sereno is pioneering this movement.
If you snore, you no longer need to choose between an inconvenient, ineffective or painful remedy like CPAP, nose strips or surgery. You could be a candidate for our minimally invasive solutions including:
The solutions we provide are FDA approved, low-risk and designed to be permanent. They are performed in our office by specialized Board Certified Ear, Nose and Throat physicians using only local anesthetic, usually in less than 30 minutes.

If you are a candidate for our solutions, we can often perform your treatment in the same visit as your evaluation, all in less than an hour.
