Naper Dental Sleep Center was opened due to the passion that Dr. Planer and her team had for treating this all to common disease. The effects of this disease on adults and children are very serious and with proper diagnosis and treatment, this is a very treatable disease. Our patients, young and old can have a dramatic increase in quality of life.
