Pillar Procedure
Treat Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Clinically proven and FDA approved, the Pillar Procedure is now available as a safe and effective treatment for mild sleep apnea and snoring. The procedure is done in-office, is non-invasive and a one-time treatment.
Pillar Implants
The procedure takes about 30 minutes with the use of local anesthesia, followed by 4-5 implants inserted into the soft palate. These implants will stiffen the palate and reduce the amount of vibration that occurs with snoring and sleep apnea. The success rate has been reported as over 75 percent and most patients say it is virtually painless and are able to resume normal activities the same day.
