Snoring Mouthguards in Perth
Keeping yourself or your partner awake with snoring that just won’t quit? Dental O So Gentle offers custom snoring treatment across our two Perth clinics in the Perth CBD on St Georges Terrace and in Beldon, in Perth’s northern suburbs using custom-fitted anti-snoring devices designed to support a better night’s sleep. For many patients, a well fitted device can be a straightforward, non-invasive way to help reduce snoring, without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks or machines. It’s often a simpler first step than many people realise.
What Is Snoring and Why It Matters
Snoring happens when air can’t flow freely through the nose and throat during sleep, causing the soft tissues to vibrate. This produce sounds that can affect both your rest and your partner’s. Chronic snoring may also point to underlying issues such as obstructive sleep apnoea, which is why persistent or loud snoring is worth having properly assessed rather than dismissed as a minor inconvenience. Addressing snoring can help improve sleep quality, reduce daytime fatigue and support your overall wellbeing.
It’s worth noting that not all snoring is the same. Occasional, mild snoring is common and often manageable with simple measures, while snoring accompanied by pauses in breathing, gasping, or excessive daytime sleepiness may point to sleep apnoea which typically needs broader medical assessment alongside any dental treatment.
Benefits of Snoring Mouthguards
- Helping keep airways open — a custom-fitted snoring mouthguard adjusts the lower jaw position to help keep your airway open and reduce snoring.
- Better sleep quality — aims to improve your rest and reduce daytime fatigue, so you may wake feeling more refreshed.
- Comfortable and discreet — a custom-fitted device offers a more comfortable, discreet option than bulky masks or machines for many people.
- Supports wider wellbeing — assessing chronic snoring can help flag potential links to conditions like sleep apnoea, so they can be investigated.
Because the mouthguard is made specifically for your mouth much like a custom denture it tends to be easier to wear consistently, which matters for it to help over time. A device left in a drawer, however well designed, isn’t going to help with your sleep.
Snoring Treatment Across Our Two Perth Clinics
At Dental O So Gentle, we combine general dentistry with personalised care to help manage snoring using custom-fitted oral appliances (sometimes called mandibular advancement devices). Custom snoring appliances are available at both clinics, provided by our general dentists Dr Jeff Broude and Dr Rohan Jagota at Perth CBD, and Dr Ileana Kalamaras and Dr Nadia Roe at Beldon. Where appropriate, we work alongside sleep specialists so that snoring is properly assessed particularly where sleep apnoea may be involved rather than treated in isolation. A dental device is one part of managing snoring, and where a medical sleep condition may be present, assessment by a sleep physician is important.
Our Snoring Mouthguard Process
Step One
Consultation:
Your dentist discusses your symptoms, health history and sleep patterns to help identify the likely causes of your snoring.
Step Two
Assessment and Planning:
We coordinate with sleep specialists where needed and create a personalised plan, which may include a custom mandibular advancement device.
Step Three
Fitting and Follow-Up:
Using precise measurements, we craft your anti-snoring appliance for a comfortable fit, then provide follow-up check-ups and adjustments to help keep it working for you over time.
Because everyone’s airway and jaw structure is a little different, getting the fit right often takes some fine tuning. We build follow up appointments into the process so adjustments can be made as you settle into wearing the device.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my snoring is something more serious, like sleep apnoea?
Signs such as pauses in breathing, gasping during sleep, or ongoing daytime tiredness may point to sleep apnoea rather than simple snoring. If you notice these, it’s worth mentioning them during your consultation so we can discuss whether further medical assessment is appropriate. A dental device is one part of managing snoring, and sleep apnoea usually needs assessment by a sleep physician, often involving a sleep study.
Is snoring treatment available at both the Perth CBD and Beldon clinics?
Yes. Snoring consultations and custom oral appliances are available at both our Perth CBD clinic on St Georges Terrace and our Beldon clinic on Eddystone Avenue. If you’re not sure which clinic to attend, either team can help.
How long does it take to get used to wearing a snoring mouthguard?
Most patients need a short adjustment period, and your dentist will check in on comfort and effectiveness at your follow up appointment, making any adjustments needed at that stage.
Will an anti-snoring device work for everyone?
Effectiveness varies from person to person, depending on the underlying cause of the snoring. Your dentist can discuss what’s realistic for your situation and whether a dental device is likely to be a suitable option for you.
Will my private health extras cover a snoring mouthguard?
Many patients use private health extras cover towards a custom oral appliance, though the amount depends on your level of cover. Our team can help you understand what your fund may cover before you go ahead, and HICAPS is available for on the spot claiming where a treatment is eligible.
