At Deborah Gennero DDS
Advanced Care for Better Breathing and Restful Sleep
Dr. Gennero provides advanced sleep and airway dentistry to help patients breathe more easily and sleep more soundly. Using digital imaging, airway evaluation, and customized dental solutions, she identifies breathing restrictions that affect sleep quality, energy levels, and overall health.
Sleep-disordered breathing—including obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring—can impact patients of all ages, not just older adults. Children, teens, and adults may all experience airway challenges that interfere with restorative sleep.
Dr. Gennero evaluates airway structure, jaw position, and oral anatomy to uncover hidden breathing issues. Based on her findings, she creates a personalized treatment plan designed to improve airflow, support deeper sleep, and enhance long-term wellness.
Patients from Houston, Katy, and surrounding areas trust Dr. Gennero’s airway-focused approach for its precision, comfort, and whole-body health benefits.
Why Sleep & Airway Health Matters
Sleep-disordered breathing occurs when airflow becomes restricted during sleep. These interruptions reduce oxygen levels and force your body into repeated stress responses throughout the night.
Untreated airway issues may contribute to:
- Chronic fatigue
- Daytime sleepiness
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Loud Snoring
- High blood pressure
- Cardiovascular strain
- Morning headaches
- Jaw tension or facial pain
- Mood changes and irritability
Sleep apnea affects millions of adults and children – and many remain undiagnosed
According to the National Instiutute of Health:
Signs You May Have a Sleep or Airway Disorder
You may benefit from a sleep and airway evaluation if you experience:
- Snoring or gasping during sleep
- Dry mouth upon waking
- Difficulty staying asleep
- Daytime fatigue
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Neck or jaw discomfort
- Attention issues in children
- Mouth breathing
Early detection allows Dr. Gennero to intervene before symptoms progress.
Dr. Gennero’s Personalized Airway Approach
Dr. Deborah Gennero begins with a comprehensive airway assessment using digital imaging, acoustic reflection, and clinical analysis. She evaluates, tooth position, tongue posture, jaw alignment, soft tissue, and airway volume to identify restrictions.
Next, she designs a customized treatment plan based on your unique anatomy. Treatment may include orthodontic expansion, custom oral appliances or advanced laser-based therapies to improve airflow and support healthier sleep.
Dr. Gennero also collaborates closely with medical providers when appropriate to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.
Sleep & Airway Laser Therapies Offered By Dr. Gennero
Advanced, non-invasive and minimally invasive airway-focused treatments designed to address snoring, restricted nasal airflow, and sleep-disordered breathing using modern dental laser technology and functional airway evaluation.
NightLase®
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Therapy
Fotona NightLase® uses gentle laser energy to heat and tighten the tissues of the soft palate and throat, helping reduce airway collapse during sleep. This non-invasive treatment can decrease snoring, improve airflow, and support better sleep quality without surgery or downtime.
NaseLase®
Nasal Airway Therapy
Fotona NaseLase® uses gentle laser energy to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve nasal airflow by helping open restricted nasal passages. This treatment supports easier breathing, reduces airway resistance, and complements other sleep and airway therapies to improve overall breathing and sleep quality.
VagusLase™
Neuroregulation Therapy
VagusLase™ uses gentle laser energy to stimulate the vagus nerve and support healthy nervous system regulation. This advanced therapy may help improve stress response, sleep quality, muscle tension, airway function, and overall recovery by promoting balance within the autonomic nervous system.
