Sleep Disorder Treatment in Atlanta

Sleep-related breathing disorders can interfere with rest, daytime energy, and long-term health. Conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring disrupt normal breathing during sleep and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, fatigue, and reduced concentration.

Piedmont Ear, Nose, Thorat and Related Allergy provides sleep apnea treatment in Atlanta for patients experiencing disrupted sleep, airway obstruction, or snoring. ENT specialists evaluate airway structure and breathing patterns to identify the cause of sleep-related breathing disorders and recommend appropriate treatment.

If you experience snoring, gasping during sleep, morning headaches, or daytime fatigue, an evaluation can help determine the underlying cause.

Inspire® Implant for Sleep Apnea 

is a fully implanted system for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It continuously monitors breathing and delivers mild stimulation to airway muscles (tongue, soft tissues) to keep the airway open during sleep, serving as an alternative to CPAP for suitable candidates. Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) is a diagnostic procedure performed under light sedation to visualize the upper airway during simulated sleep, precisely identifying collapse points for accurate treatment planning (including for Inspire® or other surgeries).

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)

is a surgical procedure for OSA that removes or reshapes excess tissue in the throat (soft palate, uvula, tonsils) to create a wider airway, preventing collapse during sleep and reducing snoring.

Tongue-Base Reduction

is a surgical procedure to reduce the volume of tissue at the back of the tongue for OSA caused by tongue base obstruction. It creates more airway space and prevents tongue collapse.

Hyoid Advancement and Suspension 

repositions the hyoid bone forward, pulling the tongue base and soft tissues forward to enlarge and stabilize the airway, preventing collapse during sleep. It's often combined with other OSA surgeries.
