Expert Solutions for Sleep Apnea
at Divine Dental
Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, can interfere with your breathing, lower oxygen levels and leave you feeling exhausted even after a full night of rest. At Divine Dental, Dr. Esmael Valdez and our Divine Sleep team provide sleep apnea screening and treatment options for patients in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with a focus on non-surgical alternatives to CPAP therapy and Inspire implant surgery.
As a Vivos®-trained provider, Dr. Valdez offers oral appliance therapy using the Vivos brand for patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea, including those with moderate to severe OSA who are looking for another option. These custom oral appliances are worn only while you sleep and are designed to support a more open airway, improve airflow and promote healthier, more restful sleep.

Our Sleep Apnea Treatment
Approach
Dr. Esmael Valdez begins with a thorough screening to better understand your symptoms, sleep concerns and possible signs of obstructive sleep apnea. Common symptoms include regular snoring, morning headaches, clenching or grinding of the teeth, excessive daytime drowsiness, waking up choking or gasping for air, and TMJ issues significant enough to require treatment. If further evaluation is needed, Divine Sleep can help coordinate a home sleep test through SleepImage and a virtual consultation with a board-certified sleep doctor through iSleep Physicians.
For qualifying patients, Dr. Valdez may recommend oral appliance therapy using Vivos Therapeutics appliances. Vivos is based in Denver, Colorado, and trains medical and dental providers in methods that help treat sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea. The type of appliance currently offered by Divine Sleep is a mandibular advancement device, or MAD. This appliance gently moves the lower jaw forward while you sleep, helping open the airway, reduce apnea events and improve air intake throughout the night.
Vivos oral appliances offer a comfortable, portable and non-surgical alternative for patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy or who want to avoid the invasive and expensive surgical process required for Inspire implants. Take the first step toward better sleep and better health with professional sleep apnea treatment from Divine Sleep. Call 505-471-7000 for more information.
