We offer expert diagnosis and personalised treatment to help you breathe easier and sleep better.Quality sleep is vital for your health, concentration, and overall wellbeing.

At Hillser Clinic, our consultant ENT surgeons provide a smooth, consultant-led journey — supported by our nursing team and nutritionist — to help you breathe clearly and sleep better.

Investigations and diagnostics
Our first step is to understand the cause of your sleep problem. We offer:
-
FNE allows us to examine the inside of your nose, sinuses, and throat in detail. Using a thin, flexible camera, we can assess areas that are not visible with standard examination tools. The procedure takes only a few minutes and you can return to normal activities immediately after the assessment.
-
Home sleep studies allow us to assess your breathing and sleep quality in the comfort of your own home. Using a small, portable monitoring device, we record your oxygen levels, breathing patterns, snoring, and sleep stages overnight. The test is simple, non-invasive, and helps us identify conditions such as obstructive sleep apnoea without the need for an overnight hospital stay.
-
DISE enables our specialists to directly observe what happens to your airway while you are asleep. During the procedure, a mild sedative is given to reproduce natural sleep, allowing us to examine the nose, palate, and throat using a fine endoscope. This helps pinpoint the exact areas causing snoring or obstruction so we can plan the most effective, targeted treatment for you.
Treatment options
Following your assessment, your consultant will recommend a tailored plan:
Surgical options
-
Nasal surgery helps improve airflow through the nose by correcting structural issues such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. These simple, effective procedures can reduce nasal blockage, ease breathing, and improve sleep quality. Recovery is usually quick, and most patients notice easier breathing and reduced snoring soon after healing.
-
Soft palate surgery targets the tissues at the back of the mouth that can vibrate or collapse during sleep, contributing to snoring or airway obstruction. By tightening or reshaping this area, the procedure helps open the airway and reduce vibration. It can be performed using a variety of minimally invasive techniques depending on your individual needs.
-
DISE-guided surgery allows our specialists to perform precise, targeted treatment based on what we observe during your Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy. By tailoring surgical correction to the exact sites of airway collapse, this approach maximises effectiveness while minimising unnecessary intervention — ensuring results that are both accurate and lasting.
Non-Surgical options
-
CPAP therapy is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea. The device delivers a gentle, continuous flow of air through a mask while you sleep, keeping your airway open and preventing breathing pauses.
-
For patients whose snoring or sleep issues are linked to nasal congestion or allergies, targeted medical treatment can make a real difference. Prescription nasal sprays, antihistamines, or desensitisation therapy can help reduce swelling, open the nasal passages, and improve airflow — often relieving symptoms without the need for surgery.
-
Dental appliances, also known as mandibular advancement devices, are custom-made mouthpieces worn during sleep to gently move the lower jaw forward. This helps keep the airway open, reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnoea. Comfortable and portable, they can be an excellent alternative for patients who prefer a non-surgical or non-CPAP dependent solution.
