A good night's sleep sets the tone for the rest of the day. However, snoring and, more importantly, sleep apnea can turn this precious rest time into a nightmare for both you and your loved ones. These conditions, which are more than just simple noise, can actually be precursors to serious health problems that need to be treated. At our clinic in Antalya, we approach snoring and sleep apnea issues with effective and personalized solutions offered by modern medicine.

Our goal is not just to bring you a quiet night, but also healthier and more energetic mornings.

Understanding the Difference and Reaching a Solution


So, what exactly are these two conditions, and what are the differences between them?

  • Snoring is the sound produced when air passing through a narrowed airway during sleep vibrates the surrounding soft tissues. Although it's often considered harmless, it can sometimes be the first sign of a more serious condition: sleep apnea.

  • Sleep Apnea, on the other hand, is the repeated stopping and starting of breathing for at least 10 seconds during sleep. This condition deprives the body of oxygen, posing serious health risks.
  • Before starting treatment at our clinic, we accurately diagnose the source of the problem. We work with you to determine the most suitable treatment path from a wide range of options, including lifestyle changes, simple oral appliances, CPAP devices, and modern surgical interventions.

    | Method | Description |


    | :--- | :--- |


    | CPAP Device | The gold standard for moderate to severe apnea, keeping the airway continuously open. |


    | Oral Appliances | Widen the airway by moving the jaw forward in mild cases. |


    | Surgical Interventions | Aim to permanently correct structural problems in the nose, palate, or jaw. |

    The Overlooked Symptoms of Sleep Apnea


    Sleep apnea is not limited to just stopping breathing during sleep. It has many symptoms that affect your daily life:


  • Loud and interrupted snoring

  • Breathing pauses noticed by your partner

  • Waking up frequently, sweating, or a choking sensation at night

  • Waking up tired and with a headache in the morning

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness and difficulty concentrating

  • Forgetfulness and irritability
  • If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, it's best not to take the situation lightly and to consult a specialist.

    Taking Sleep Apnea Seriously: What Happens If It's Not Treated?


    Untreated sleep apnea is much more than a simple sleep problem. By depriving the body of oxygen, it lays the groundwork for serious long-term health issues:


  • High blood pressure and heart diseases

  • Risk of stroke

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Increased risk of traffic and work accidents (due to daytime sleepiness)

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Therefore, sleep apnea is a condition that must be treated to protect your quality of life and overall health.

    Modern Treatment Approaches: Surgical and Non-Surgical Options


    The first step in sleep apnea treatment is usually lifestyle changes. Even steps like losing weight and quitting smoking and alcohol can make a big difference. However, when this is not enough, modern medical solutions come into play.

    Non-Surgical Treatments:


    The most common and effective non-surgical method is the CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device. This device provides air at a customized pressure during sleep to keep your airway continuously open. For mild to moderate cases, oral appliances, designed in collaboration with a dentist and worn at night, can also offer an effective solution by moving the jaw forward.

    Surgical Treatments:


    If the problem stems from an anatomical narrowing in the nose, palate, or jaw, surgical intervention can provide a permanent solution. Options include tissue removal, implant placement, or jaw repositioning. We make the decision for surgery together with our patient based on a detailed ENT examination and sleep test (polysomnography) results.

    Is a Permanent Solution to Snoring Possible?


    "Is there a definitive cure for snoring?" is one of the most common questions we're asked. The answer depends on the underlying cause of the snoring. If snoring is caused by a simple anatomical narrowing, modern methods like laser snoring treatment can provide a permanent or long-term solution by tightening the tissues in the palate. However, if the cause of snoring is weight or lifestyle, the most permanent solution is to change these habits.

    Laser Snoring Treatment Prices in Antalya 2024


    The prices for modern procedures like laser snoring treatment vary depending on the scope of the procedure and the technique used. At our clinic, since every patient's needs are different, we determine the treatment plan and a personalized price after the initial examination.

    How Does the Post-Treatment Recovery Process Work?


    The recovery process depends entirely on the treatment applied.

    | Phase | Description |


    | :--- | :--- |


    | First Week After Surgery | Mild pain, swelling, and difficulty swallowing may occur in the operated area. This period is comfortably managed with pain relievers. |


    | Second Week and Beyond | Most patients return to their normal lives from the second week onwards. Full recovery may take a few weeks. |


    | Device and Appliance Use | There is no recovery period for CPAP or oral appliance use. Although there might be an adjustment period for the first few days, the effect is seen immediately. |

    What Do Our Patients Say After Treatment?


    Our patients' post-treatment experiences are our greatest source of motivation. Here are some of them:

    > "For the first time in years, I wake up feeling refreshed. Thanks to Dr. Sezgin, I understood that my snoring wasn't just a noise but a sign of a serious health problem. After the treatment, both my wife and I can breathe easy."

    > "I couldn't get used to the CPAP machine. A different treatment method recommended by Dr. Sezgin incredibly improved my quality of life. My constant daytime drowsiness is gone."
