Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures due to obstructed air movement resulting in sometimes loud and often unpleasant sounds. It is also the primary symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a disruption of breathing while asleep. The majority of people who have sleep apnea don’t know they have it! Although episodes of choking or gasping for air might occur hundreds of times throughout the night, you may not have any recollection of struggling for breath. Usually it is the bed partner who first notices that a person is struggling to breathe. If left untreated, this common disorder can be life-threatening.

As a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Priemer can provide you with alternatives to more traditional and often uncomfortable remedies such as CPAP. If you suspect that you or someone you know has either of these disruptive sleep disorders you should consult your physician.

Somnomed AVANT

Worn during sleep, Somnodent devices fit over your upper and lower teeth. The device slightly moves the lower jaw forward, helping to keep the airway open and allowing you to breathe normally.

The Four Questions to Ask

4 Questions that patients need to ask when choosing their treatment provider.

1. How many cases have you done in the past year?

2. Do you know how to interpret and explain a sleep study?

3. What are the side effects and complications? How will you manage them?

4. Does the fee include everything? (i.e. adjustments, pulse oximeter study, medical communications etc.)
