"I’ve been in the dental industry for 10 years and this is the most welcoming office I’ve ever been to! So nice and knowledgeable, they care about the patients and their needs and comforts. Awesome area for kids... I took myself. My husband and my 3 year old there, it was her first visit and they were so good with her... Did I mention they bake fresh bread in the office for their patients too?! So delicious, my daughter and I loved it! Thank you Dr Lopour and Staff!"

Improve Your Health with OSA Treatment

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes your breathing to stop and start repeatedly while you sleep, leading to fatigue, drowsiness, mood swings, and other symptoms during the day. If you’re experiencing symptoms of OSA, or your family has noticed loud snoring or episodes of paused breathing when you sleep, we can help.

Our team can determine if you have sleep apnea by scanning your airways with CBCT technology. If you have mild to moderate OSA, our dentist can prescribe an OPTISLEEP oral appliance. This custom-designed device holds your lower jaw forward as you sleep, opening your airways. Patients find that the appliance is comfortable and effective, with 90% of OPTISLEEP patients reporting reduced snoring and apneas when wearing their oral appliance. You don't need a noisy and uncomfortable CPAP machine—OPTISLEEP is the sexy way to treat OSA. Patients seeking oral sleep apnea solutions can trust our experienced dentist in Albuquerque, NM, for custom oral appliance therapy designed to improve sleep quality and overall health.

Quality Solutions

Made Even Better

Our Albuquerque dental office uses the latest developments in the field to provide safe, effective, and thorough care. Some of our noteworthy advancements include:

CEREC Machine

Our CEREC^® machine takes detailed scans of the dental arch to design and create a custom crown in a single appointment. While traditional methods require dentists to send impressions out to a lab for fabrication, wait a few weeks, and then place a crown at a second appointment, CEREC technology expedites the process.

In-House Ceramist

We have an in-house ceramist we've been working with for 25 years so we don't have to rely on external labs to create restorations. Our patients can benefit from a faster turnaround and a better outcome, as Dr. LoPour has full control over the fabrication process.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays allow our dentist to check under the surface and detect problems before they become serious while exposing our patients to less radiation than traditional X-rays. We also have a CBCT scanner that can evaluate your full head and neck and scan your airways to screen for sleep apnea.

Guided Biofilm Therapy

Guided biofilm therapy is used in regular dental cleanings to prevent gum disease and cavities without harming your oral tissues. Our dentist administers a special mouthwash and solution to improve the visibility of biofilm on the teeth. He then removes the biofilm with the AIRFLOW® MAX and erythritol powder.

Paying for Your Dental Care

Our Albuquerque, NM, office accepts most insurances and will help maximize your coverage. For uninsured patients and patients who have out-of-pocket expenses, we accept financing through CareCredit®, a third-party lender that allows patients to pay for their dental work in affordable monthly installments.

Patients can pay for their care with cash, check, American Express, Mastercard, and Visa.
