Highly recommended! The most profoundly life changing dental cleaning and certainly the most informative. The staff were engaging, instructive, welcoming, friendly & reassuring. They were all extremely positive. The equipment is state of the art & top-notch, including a micro radar spinner off the lobby, mini handheld radar guns & rotatable touch screen 3D prints of your teeth. I ordered my previous X-rays in advance, & was able to see my bone loss due to the grinding of my teeth during the pandemic! You can too! Seriously, book early, this place will fill up fast. It was like getting your teeth cleaned in a room on the USS Enterprise star ship. Can’t wait to go back for my follow up!!!
Stop: QuietNite Snoring Prevention Laser Therapy
Roots Dental offers DEKA QuietNite — a quick, painless CO2 laser treatment that improves your sleep quality in as little as ten minutes. No surgery, no downtime, no CPAP required.
Trust Roots Dental for Snoring Treatment in Bellingham
Snoring is one of the most common, and most overlooked, sleep issues affecting adults today. At Roots Dental, Dr. Joshua Clarkman uses the DEKA CO2 laser snoring prevention system to treat the root cause of snoring quickly and effectively. Here’s how QuietNite can help you sleep better:
Personalized Consultation
Dr. Clarkman will evaluate your airway, soft palate, and overall sleep health to determine if QuietNite is right for you. Snoring is most commonly caused by reduced elasticity of the soft palate or a narrowed throat airway; both of which respond well to laser therapy. After assessing your needs, he will design a snoring prevention treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Quick, Painless Treatment
Using the DEKA CO2 snoring prevention laser, Dr. Clarkman treats the soft palate, tonsils, and tongue in a single appointment. The laser energy stimulates collagen production and tightens the treated tissue. The procedure decontaminates the area while sealing nerve endings; meaning no pain, no bleeding, and no side effects. Most patients are able to eat, drink, and resume normal activities immediately after.
Lasting Results
Most patients see results in as little as five days. An average of one to two procedures spaced 30 days apart is all that's needed annually. QuietNite snoring prevention can even be performed during your regular cleaning and hygiene visits, making it one of the most convenient snoring solutions available in Whatcom County.

Gabriele J.
Just started with Dr. Clarkman because I needed a new mouth guard. Not only did I get the most comfortable and functional mouth guard that was produced using a laser scan of my teeth, but he also did some cosmetic dentistry that I was very happy with. In addition to excellent dental work, he is the most positive upbeat dentist I’ve ever seen making a dental visit as pleasant as it could possibly be.
Easy Scheduling
We make it easy to schedule your next visit with online booking and flexible appointment options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do We Snore?
Snoring often occurs when the soft palate relaxes or the airway narrows, causing vibrations during breathing. It can disrupt sleep quality and may signal conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can impact overall health and oxygen levels. Read more about snoring causes and how you can be helped at Roots Dental.
Does DEKA QuietNite treat sleep apnea?
No. DEKA QuietNite is not a treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. OSA should be diagnosed and treated by a health care specialist and in conjunction with your dentist. Talk to your dentist about using DEKA QuietNite in conjunction with a sleep study and professional sleep treatment. One simple DEKA QuietNite snoring prevention treatment can provide quick relief from snoring and improve the quality of sleep.
Why DEKA QuietNite?
DEKA QuietNite uses advanced CO₂ laser technology to reduce snoring quickly and comfortably; often in under 10 minutes. This non-contact snoring prevention treatment is gentle, precise, and requires no cutting or sutures. By sealing nerve endings and blood vessels, it minimizes pain, swelling, and healing time while reducing infection risk. Patients experience little to no discomfort, and the versatile DEKA system supports a wide range of soft tissue procedures.
How long do DEKA QuietNite results last?
Results can vary since snoring has multiple causes. While DEKA QuietNite effectively tightens soft palate tissue, natural collagen relaxation may allow symptoms to return over time. Because the treatment is quick and comfortable, it can be repeated as needed, often annually during routine dental visits.
What Does DEKA QuietNite Cost?
Treatment typically ranges from $750–$950 per session, depending on complexity. Insurance usually doesn’t cover it since it’s considered elective, but many offices offer 0% financing. You can often use FSA or HSA funds to help pay.
Why DEKA?
DEKA CO₂ lasers deliver precise, minimally invasive soft tissue treatment with little bleeding, faster healing, and minimal downtime. With over 30 years of innovation, DEKA systems are widely trusted across dental and surgical procedures.
