QuietNite Laser Therapy
QuietNite is a dedicated CO₂ handpiece that brings airway-focused conversations into the operatory. Delivered through the DEKA CO₂ platform, it lets a practice treat the soft palate region in a short, in-office visit — opening a treatment pathway for patients who are already talking to you about snoring and sleep.
QuietNite at a glance.
A short, in-office pathway for airway conversations.
QuietNite lets a practice turn everyday chairside conversations about snoring and sleep into a short, protocol-driven in-office treatment.
Act on the conversation already happening
Patients raise snoring and poor sleep in the dental chair long before they raise it anywhere else. QuietNite gives a practice a way to act on that conversation with a dedicated CO₂ handpiece rather than a referral.
A short, in-office appointment
Treatment is delivered to the soft palate region in a single short appointment — roughly five minutes of chair time, using the CO₂ platform your practice already owns. CO₂ energy is strongly absorbed by water in soft tissue, giving clinicians the control they already expect from a DEKA CO₂ system, and it’s short enough to schedule alongside regular cleanings and hygiene visits.
An additive part of the care plan
QuietNite is used alongside — not instead of — the sleep aids and appliances prescribed by a patient’s physician. It fits into the practice as an additive service, complementing physician-prescribed care within established clinical protocol and training.

QuietNite, in practice.
“DEKA Lasers are unmatched in performance, versatility and efficiency. Each wavelength empowers you to achieve clinical excellence from all aspects of utilization. The applications are many but the ability to manage pain, inflammation and accelerate tissue regeneration are applicable to all practices. The incorporation of fractional ablation for airway improvements, QuietNite and facial aesthetics is leading a new trend of excellence in health care.”
“Technology should do more than perform procedures — it should expand the way you care for people. That’s exactly what the DEKA laser has done in my practice. It has become an indispensable tool for everyday soft-tissue dentistry, but what truly sets it apart is the QuietNite procedure. Being able to offer a quick, minimally invasive treatment for snoring allows me to improve patients’ quality of sleep and quality of life while broadening the scope of care I can provide. For me, that’s what makes this laser truly different.”
“I am a multiple laser user and have used numerous CO₂ lasers. I have been pleasantly surprised by the speed of the DEKA CO₂ laser, I would say it is just as fast as a scalpel blade, as I only use it for flap reflections and no scalpel blades. The use for frenectomies is fast, and I saw the patients have less post op pain initially and later in the process compared to other CO₂ lasers that I have used. I have enjoyed treatments with QuietNite as we have seen anywhere from 40-100% decrease in AHI values after treatment is completed. All in all I think it is the best CO₂ on the market with the best R & D in the laser community.”
“DEKA lasers bridge the gap between clinical dentistry, facial aesthetics, and TMD therapy. The CO₂ laser is a powerhouse for skin rejuvenation — tightening tissue while reducing fine lines, dark spots, and acne — while QuietNite offers a fast, comfortable solution for snoring and sleep quality. Paired with the Nd:YAG HILT for rapid TMD pain management and deep-tissue healing, DEKA is one of the most valuable investments in my practice. Incorporating these wavelengths into combination therapies alongside PRF and neuromodulators allows me to achieve superior, predictable results. It’s the single most versatile technology in my practice, and one I recommend without hesitation to every clinician I train.”
“From their research and development to the quality of manufacturing, components, educational programming, and precision in clinical applications, DEKA Dental Lasers are truly in a league of their own. I have been using their CO₂ for precision release of restrictive oral tissues, QuietNite for snoring, and Nd:YAG High Intensity Laser Therapy for TMD and orofacial pain, and each has been invaluable in the treatment of my patients.”
“I have used many laser systems/wavelength over the past 2 decades having completed a PhD with world renown periodontist Professor Anton Sculean at the University of Bern where many protocols and novel technologies were first developed. Since moving to USA in 2016, I have purchased more than a dozen energy-based devices that I use everyday in my practice. My absolute favorite laser system for facial aesthetics and tightening the soft palate to improve sleep scores/airway is the DEKA CO₂. Not only are results superior, the protocols can be performed 5-10X faster than most all other lasers. I have visited the DEKA Headquarters in Florence, Italy and was amazed to see the sheer size of their operations realizing that it was in fact the largest laser company of the world (in terms of lasers sold) representing some of the most novel technologies in the industry.”
“The DEKA CO₂ laser has become an integral part of how I deliver airway-focused care. It provides the reliability and versatility I need to perform minimally invasive soft tissue procedures with confidence while supporting optimal clinical outcomes. For practices looking to elevate their approach to airway and sleep dentistry, it is a technology I recommend without hesitation.”
“I invested in DEKA laser technologies because I wanted to offer my patients innovative, effective, and minimally invasive treatment options. The DEKA CO₂ laser, with its fractional ablation technology, has been instrumental in helping patients improve snoring and sleep apnea symptoms, often in a remarkably quick and noninvasive way. The results I have seen with the DEKA HILT laser have been equally impressive, particularly for patients dealing with persistent pain or tinnitus. Seeing patients experience meaningful relief without adding more medications is incredibly rewarding. Beyond the technology, DEKA’s education, training, and support are truly exceptional. I feel fortunate to partner with a company that is committed to helping clinicians provide better care and improving patients’ quality of life.”
“Lasers are a gamechanger for soft tissue management. I love my CO₂ the most for my sleep patients. Using the QuietNite protocols have increased the efficacy of my sleep treatments and patient outcomes. Patients love the ease of the laser to give them a better night’s sleep. Their partners love it too!”
“With DEKA QuietNite therapy, we are seeing patients report quieter, more restful sleep and improved nighttime breathing as we address soft tissues that can contribute to snoring and airway resistance.”
“I was able to integrate QuietNite even as a GP, and as I transitioned to a practice 100% focused on sleep and airway, it became another valuable tool in my toolbox. I use it to help my patients snore less, breathe better, and sleep better.”
“I’m also using the DEKA for the QuietNite procedure and have been thrilled with the results. One patient went from a snore score of 34 to an 8 after just one treatment!”
“I love how versatile the DEKA laser is, and how seamlessly it fits into our wellness-focused approach to dentistry. We use it for periodontal care, QuietNite treatments, frenectomies, and so much more.”
“I use the DEKA CO₂ and Nd:YAG lasers daily in my practice to treat pediatric and adult patients for tongue tie releases, craniofacial pain, and improving the soft palate and reducing snoring with QuietNite. They have become an invaluable part of patient care.”
“In sleep and airway treatment, QuietNite has become one of my most valuable treatment modalities, particularly for patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea who have enlarged or lax soft palatal tissues contributing to airway obstruction. The ability to address this tissue non-surgically has been revolutionary for my practice. Many of my patients report little to no discomfort with treatment, and I am continually impressed by how quickly they can begin noticing improvements in snoring, breathing, sleep quality, and related symptoms.”
“I love the versatility of my DEKA laser. I use it in everyday dentistry, offer QuietNite to patients looking to improve their airway and quality of sleep, and can even use it in my new aesthetic division for CO₂ skin resurfacing. It fits perfectly with my approach to whole-patient wellness and allows me to provide innovative treatments that lead to better outcomes and happier patients.”
“The Deka laser is by far the most powerful, efficient and versatile laser I have ever used in my 28 years of practice. Being able to perform a vestibuloplasty in a seamless, predictable way, with little to no post operative discomfort was a primary driver for adding the Deka Laser to my armamentarium. It has exceeded my expectations in how it has improved all aspects of cosmetic and rehabilitation dentistry in my practice. Aesthetic gingivectomy procedures and implant uncovery procedures are performed faster, we have seen superior healing results, which has provided overall far better outcomes over my previous diode and erbium lasers.
The ability to add the QuietNite and facial aesthetic/fractional ablation procedures to my office, is a true game changer. Improving snoring and airway for my patients, in a quick, painless procedure, has been "life changing" for my patients. Seeing the results from the facial aesthetic procedures we have performed have been unbelievable. All lasers are definitely not created equal, the Deka CO2 laser beats them all.”
“As a dentist, I have had the opportunity to incorporate the DEKA SmartXide CO₂ laser into several areas of my practice, and it has become an incredibly valuable part of the way I provide care.
I use the SmartXide for a wide range of procedures, including frenectomies, soft-tissue management, biopsies, and facial aesthetic treatments. I also utilize the QuietNite handpiece for soft-palate treatments related to snoring and sleep-disordered breathing.
What I appreciate most about the SmartXide is its versatility, precision, and control. It has made many procedures easier and more predictable for me as a clinician, while also creating a more comfortable experience for my patients. In many cases, I have found that procedures can be performed efficiently with excellent control of the soft tissues and less postoperative discomfort.
For frenectomies and other soft-tissue procedures in particular, the laser has changed the way I approach treatment. The ability to work with precision while managing bleeding and tissue trauma has made these procedures more efficient and, in my experience, easier for both myself and my patients.
The versatility of the SmartXide is another major advantage. Having one platform that can be used for surgical soft-tissue procedures, biopsies, facial aesthetics, and QuietNite treatments has allowed me to expand the services I can provide while continuing to focus on patient comfort and clinical outcomes.
Most importantly, I believe technology is valuable when it genuinely improves the patient experience and the clinician's ability to deliver care. The SmartXide has done that for me. It has made procedures more comfortable, efficient, and predictable, and I have been very pleased with the outcomes I have seen in my practice.
I would confidently recommend the DEKA SmartXide CO₂ laser to dentists and clinicians who are looking to expand their clinical capabilities and incorporate advanced soft-tissue laser technology into their practice.”
QuietNite FAQs.
QuietNite is a dedicated CO₂ handpiece used to treat the soft palate region in a short in-office visit. It is delivered through a DEKA CO₂ platform and is intended for patients seeking to address snoring and sleep-related concerns as part of a broader care plan.
A QuietNite appointment typically takes about five minutes of chair time. Most patients are treated across three to four visits spaced roughly 30 days apart, and the treatment is short enough to schedule during regular cleanings and hygiene visits.
No. QuietNite is used in conjunction with the sleep aids and appliances prescribed by a patient’s physician. It is an adjunct within a co-managed care plan, not a replacement for a physician’s treatment.
Both dental and medical insurance generally treat QuietNite as an elective procedure, so it is typically not covered. Patients may be able to apply pre-tax dollars from a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA). Many practices also offer in-house financing.
QuietNite is a handpiece option delivered through DEKA’s CO₂ systems, including the SmartXide Ultraspeed2. A DEKA specialist can confirm which configuration your practice needs and what training is involved.
