The taste buds are not affected in any way. In July of 1997, the FDA approved a new out-patient treatment for habitual snoring, using radiofrequency. Radiofrequency is a device that literally coagulates enlarged tissues such as the uvula and soft palate, reducing their size while relieving snoring. Although at this time, there are limited studies done for the correction of snoring. However, it seems to be better than any medication or major surgery.
Experience is the key factor when searching for a qualified surgeon.
