A snoring dentist is of course a dentist that specializes in these problems of the mouth that relate to or that cause snoring.  It's good to keep in mind that not every dentist is there just to clean your teeth or pull the wisdom teeth.  If you want braces you see an orthodontist; if you want cosmetic dentistry, you see a cosmetic dentist.  And the same is true if you need to have these mouth problems addressed to stop your snoring.  You don't want someone that just cleans teeth or does extractions; you want a true snoring dentist.

You can of course do an internet search or even try the yellow pages (remember those?) for a snoring dentist, but you can ask your doctor for a referral as well.  He or she may know of someone that has addressed the problems with snoring before.

When considering which snoring dentist is right for you, be sure that you find someone that specializes in different treatment options for snoring.  Some, for example, offer to use implants in the soft palate that help with snoring.  This type of surgery is now mostly being done with lasers rather than scalpels, as this cuts down on the amount of bleeding and side effects with the surgery.  You want a snoring dentist that is capable of doing the most up to date types of surgeries and that uses the latest techniques. 

You might also want to talk to your snoring dentist about what other options you may available other than surgery.  Sometimes there are special mouthpieces you can be fitted for, or there may even be some natural treatment options such as throat sprays or inhalers that work just as well.  Your snoring dentist shouldn't be quick to just recommend any invasive procedures, especially if you yourself are somewhat apprehensive.  Be sure you choose one that you're comfortable with and that understands your concerns, and that addresses these properly, before deciding on the actual course of treatment that's right for you.
