Our new approach to dentistry is demonstrated by our commitment to helping children (as young as three) and adults uncover potential whole-body health problems. Using the Vivos Treatment Protocol, we are able to guide you on your journey to easier breathing and improved health.
The Vivos System begins with a comprehensive evaluation and examination of your oral health and jaw development. This includes:
-
- Filling out a questionnaire
- Comprehensive head and neck exam using modern technology
- At-home sleep test
A crucial part of your treatment is firstly diagnosing your sleep apnea and identifying the cause. Only then can we move forward and be confident that we are pursuing the ideal treatment method.
Once the initial evaluation is complete, your doctor will compile an Airway Intelligence Report. This report details the results of your exam, your airway measurements, and your treatment plan.
This information is then passed onto your Vivos trained dentist, Dr. Santana-Paine, at Bay Breeze Dentistry.
The Vivos System involves a multi-faceted approach. In addition to nutritional and sleep advice you will receive, you’ll be fitted for a specialty appliance.
The custom medical device fits comfortably into your mouth and is to be worn for 12-24 months. The oral appliance is worn in the evening, and while you sleep. Patients report positive effects within days!
Dr. Santana-Paine works closely with your primary physician to make adjustments and ensure long-term success.
Once your treatment is complete, it is very unlikely you’ll need any further intervention. You can just enjoy better sleep, more energy, and a real feeling of relief.

Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to your physical and mental health! If you are waking up tired or have trouble sleeping, you could be suffering from sleep apnea.
In simple terms, sleep apnea is a condition where you stop breathing due to your throat collapsing during the night. It is a serious problem that restricts the flow of oxygen through your nose or mouth, and it could lead to other serious health problems.
When caring for children and adults, Dr. Santana-Paine looks into what is causing your sleep apnea and adapts her treatment according to your needs. She’ll start by considering your symptoms, which may include:

- Frequent sleep interruptions
- Constant fatigue
- Obesity

Consisting of a custom breathing wellness program and oral appliance, this treatment helps maintain proper airflow while you sleep. You’ll see life-changing results in 12-24 months while reducing your health risks and fatigue.
