Snoring
Loud, persistent snoring isn't just a nuisance for your partner — it's often a sign that your airway is partially blocked during sleep. Snoring can disrupt your own sleep quality, leave you tired during the day, and in some cases is a marker of obstructive sleep apnoea, which carries serious long-term health risks if untreated.
How FaceLab Can Help
FaceLab is home to Sri Lanka's first integrated sleep medicine service within a facial and dental institution. Dr. Prasanna Wijerathna, our specialist sleep physician, evaluates the cause of your snoring — sometimes with a home or in-clinic sleep study — and tailors treatment accordingly. Options include custom-fitted oral appliances, lifestyle interventions, CPAP, or in selected cases surgical pathways planned with our maxillofacial team.

No. Some snoring is benign, but loud or persistent snoring — especially with witnessed pauses in breathing or daytime sleepiness — needs assessment to rule out sleep apnoea.
A sleep study is the most reliable way to diagnose sleep apnoea. We can arrange home-based or in-clinic studies depending on your situation.
A custom-fitted oral appliance is a comfortable, removable device worn during sleep that gently positions your jaw to keep your airway open — an effective alternative to CPAP for many patients.
