Tempe, AZ - May 29, 2026 - QuietNight Laser in Tempe, AZ is gaining attention as more patients and parents seek conservative approaches for enlarged tonsils, snoring, and sleep related breathing concerns before considering surgery. As awareness grows around the connection between airway health, sleep quality, and daytime function, providers are increasingly evaluating non surgical therapies designed to support airway function with less downtime and recovery.
Tempe Dentistry recently introduced QuietNight Laser therapy as part of its airway focused care approach. The treatment uses laser energy directed at soft tissue in the throat and tonsil area with the goal of supporting tissue firmness and reducing airway restriction associated with enlarged tonsils and related breathing concerns during sleep. Treatment is typically completed over several short visits scheduled a few weeks apart, depending on the patient’s needs and clinical findings.
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of adults in the United States. Sleep disordered breathing in both adults and children has also been associated with daytime fatigue, concentration related concerns, behavioral changes, and reduced sleep quality. Enlarged tonsils are recognized as one of the more common contributing factors in pediatric airway restriction and may also play a role in some adult cases.
“Many patients come in believing surgery is their only option once enlarged tonsils or airway restriction begin affecting sleep,” said Dr. Jeremy Chan, DDS of Tempe Dentistry in Tempe, AZ. “What we are seeing now is growing interest in conservative approaches that may help support airway function while avoiding the recovery process associated with traditional surgery.”
Interest in non surgical airway therapies has increased alongside broader awareness of dental sleep medicine and the role oral structures can play in breathing during sleep. While tonsillectomy remains appropriate in many situations, providers are also evaluating therapies such as QuietNight Laser for qualifying patients with mild to moderate concerns or for those seeking alternatives aligned with their goals and medical history.
Dr. Chan earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco and completed his residency at El Rio Community Health Center in Tucson. He has pursued advanced training in airway and TMJ related care through certification in the Vivos method and aligns treatment planning with current American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidance where applicable. Dr. Chan’s Arizona dental license number is 10020 and can be verified through the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners and the NPI Registry.
