Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Peña is a highly experienced maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in orthognathic surgery, a primary surgical treatment for sleep apnea. He is a pioneer in 3D digital planning and minimally invasive techniques, which lead to more precise outcomes and faster recovery times. His clinic is one of the few in Colombia to offer the "Surgery First" approach and recovery without intermaxillary fixation, allowing patients to eat and speak immediately after surgery.
Thanks to the advanced techniques used by Dr. Peña, recovery is much faster and more comfortable than with traditional methods. Patients typically spend one night in the hospital for observation and can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Because there is no intermaxillary fixation, patients can eat a soft diet and speak from day one.
While Dr. Peña specializes in surgical solutions, the initial consultation will involve a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs. This may include a referral to a sleep specialist for non-surgical options like CPAP therapy or oral appliances if surgery is not the best course of action.
The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including 3D digital planning software, CAD/CAM systems for smile design, and advanced surgical instruments. This technology allows for greater precision, predictability, and patient comfort.
