-- Dr. Les Priemer of The Greater Toronto Area, has been successfully treating patients for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) since 1995, and has now limited his practice exclusively to Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Priemer has a passion for his work and has helped thousands of patients through the years, to get a good night’s sleep and improve their health and vitality.
Dr. Priemer is a diplomat of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and has served on their credentialing board. He has presented many seminars to dentists, wanting to expand their practice into the field of Dental Sleep Medicine and is currently running a private “one on one” mentoring program in his office.
OSA is a medical condition that causes the airway to collapse during sleep, preventing proper flow of oxygen.
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to many health issues. These include lack of energy, anxiety, morning headaches, moodiness, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, erectile dysfunction, depression, weight gain, heart attacks and acid reflux. Successful treatment can have a profound effect on someone’s overall health and well being.
The gold standard of care is CPAP therapy. However, for patients unable to tolerate the masks and hoses, or who can’t comply with wearing it 100% of the night, Dr. Priemer can help with a custom made oral appliance. It is easily tolerated and is comfortably worn by his many happy and healthy patients, who have in turn, referred their family and friends to visit Dr. Priemer for treatment.
Oral appliances gently reposition the bottom jaw, pulling the tongue off the back of the throat, thus opening the airway during sleep. They should be custom made and most studies show that they are generally more easily tolerated than CPAP.
Dr. Priemer has been a member of the Dental Sleep Medicine community for decades, and works closely with sleep physicians, dentists and other healthcare providers.
