We can help you and your bed partner get a restful sleep – without snoring.

Snoring occurs when the air you breathe vibrates the tissues of the airway due to a blocked or narrowed airways (nose, mouth, or throat).

You may be a suitable candidate for The Moses® appliance (oral airway dilator), which is one of the most efficient and effective methods for treating primary snoring
How do The Moses® appliances work?
The Moses® appliance available at Putney Dental Surgery works by moving your lower jaw and tongue forward, thereby creating more space for you to properly breathe during the night. This reduces or eliminates snoring.
