Pillar Procedure
Snoring Center physicians have performed more Pillar Procedures than any other practice in the country. This simple, effective procedure can be performed in as little as 20 minutes, right in our office. And most patients return to normal eating and activities immediately.
What Is The Pillar Procedure?
The Pillar Procedure is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. During the procedure, small woven implants are placed in the soft palate, stiffening the palate and reducing vibration that can cause snoring.
What Can I Expect?
The procedure is minimally invasive, with minimal discomfort. The entire procedure takes place in our office, in one visit—typically in less than 20 minutes. And since the procedure doesn’t involve removal or destruction of tissue, there is minimal discomfort or impact on everyday activities such as eating and speaking.
Does It Work?
Most patients report an improvement in their snoring within weeks, though some may take up to 3 months to realize the complete benefits.
According to Medtronic (makers of The Pillar Procedure), clinical studies have shown that:
- Patients experienced a significant decrease in snoring intensity
- Bed partner satisfaction has been documented at 80% or better
- Patients experienced less daytime sleepiness
- Approximately 80% of patients demonstrated improvement in their sleep apnea
