Is snoring disrupting your sleep or that of your partner? At York House Dental Practice in Chesham, we understand the impact that a poor night’s sleep can have on your health and well-being. We offer effective solutions, including highly recommended SleepWell anti-snoring devices, that help ensure a peaceful and restorative night’s sleep.
The perfect night’s rest starts with your smile! Persistent snoring not only affects sleep quality but might also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), a condition where the throat muscles relax too much during sleep, obstructing breathing. Our Chesham-based dental practice provides expert care and a range of oral devices to address these issues effectively.
Chesham residents will find relief with our cost-effective and proven SleepWell anti-snoring devices. These comfortable, lightweight devices are worn during sleep and work by adjusting the jaw’s position to keep the airway open. This method has proven effective in reducing snoring and mitigating sleep apnoea symptoms, with an 80% success rate in recent trials.
Don’t let snoring disrupt your life any longer. Our treatments are available to patients in and around Chesham, Amersham, Berkhamsted, Tring, Beaconsfield, and Aylesbury. Visit our friendly team at York House Dental Practice for a solution tailored to your needs.

Beyond anti-snoring devices, we also help address bruxism—habitual teeth grinding. Our custom-made night guards cushion the teeth to protect them from being worn down and help prevent other symptoms such as headaches and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
Typically, the first sign anyone knows that they are a ‘bruxer’ is when their dentist tells them during a routine check-up. This is often indicated by worn-down teeth or heightened tooth sensitivity.
Sleep apnoea is usually diagnosed through a sleep assessment, which may include monitoring breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns overnight. This can be done through a sleep clinic or a home sleep study. If sleep apnoea is suspected, York House Dental Practice may advise patients to seek a medical diagnosis before starting treatment.
Snoring happens when air cannot move freely through the nose or throat during sleep. This can cause soft tissues to vibrate, creating the snoring sound. Common factors include nasal congestion, sleeping position, alcohol intake, weight changes, or relaxed throat muscles. In some cases, snoring may be linked to sleep apnoea and may need further assessment.
Our SleepWell anti-snoring devices are effective in 80% of cases, helping significantly reduce snoring and symptoms of sleep apnoea.
Teeth grinding during sleep, also called bruxism, can be linked to stress, sleep disturbance, bite issues, alcohol intake, caffeine, or certain medications. Many people are unaware they grind their teeth until symptoms appear, including jaw discomfort, headaches, worn teeth, or disrupted sleep. A dental assessment can help identify signs of grinding.
Many anti-snoring devices are designed to be worn during sleep and may feel unusual at first. Some people need a short adjustment period while the mouth adapts. A custom-made device can often provide a better fit than over-the-counter options, helping reduce irritation and making regular use easier.
Anti-snoring devices may help some people, but they are not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on the cause of snoring, dental health, jaw position, and whether sleep apnoea is present. At York House Dental Practice, patients can be assessed to see whether an oral appliance may be an appropriate option.
Anti-snoring devices may improve sleep quality when snoring is caused by restricted airflow, and the device helps keep the airway more open. This may reduce sleep disruption for the person snoring and their partner. At York House Dental Practice, advice is based on each patient’s symptoms, oral health, and overall sleep concerns.
