Back in 2017 I had a 6,000$ treatment done here to straighten my teeth. The company the office went through is called "clear correct". I remembered the treatment wasn't smooth at all. The clear trays I was given where cheap and would mold to my crooked teeth in turn I would have the plastic aligners matching my crooked teeth rather than my crooked teeth straightening out. So I was walking around with 6,000$ crooked teeth thinking they where getting straightened out. When I tried voicing my problem out loud to the assistants even the actual Dr who was running the treatment I would simply get ignored and mumbled to. "Yeah it's because this, it's because that" almost as if someone was being told to ignore me. I know everyone knew my issue was factually correct but didn't want to help me. Instead of helping the office attempted to CHARGE ME MORE MONEY. So I called the actual clear correct company and told my story to a woman over the phone and the she had immediately cut me off and told me "sir I'm sorry you paid how much for this treatment?" and I told her it was 5,800$ with a measly "discount" of 200$. She tried her best to cover the phone and laughed out loud and told me "sir that is un-heard of, most ive seen an individual pay due to insurance not having coverage is 500$". So I sat there and stuttered and didn't know that to say and asked her "so your saying I got ripped off for this treatment and coulda done it online for 4,500 dollars less??" She laughed again and said "yup". And then gave me a big speech about how offices will get you and rip you off because a company is "new" or they just started receiving the treatment. If I had known I was going to get my money stolen and get ignored like I was some idiot. I woulda paid for metal braces and been on my way. But no. I had to pay 5,800 dollars and now my teeth are even more mis-aligned to the space drilled in between my teeth. (Total criminal activity) If you ask me. So now I went and spent close to nothing for a real treatment that's actually working. Next time I have a couple grand for some whitening I'll be taking my money elsewhere.

I really enjoy my appointments. Dr. Valdez is very kind and welcoming. I like that my dental hygienist provides feedback on areas I can improve on when it comes to my dental cleaning but still gives me credit for how well I’ve done! Office is always clean and I am greeted with a smile every time! I highly recommend Divine Dental of Santa Fe for the kind and wonderful atmosphere they provide!

From scheduling, the consultation, cleaning and going over upcoming procedures, the staff here are truly DIVINE!! I was super nervous for the cleanings scheduled but Brittney was truly AMAZING! I needed a deep cleaning, and she has such a gentle hand and was so professional, nice and made me feel so coyI was Happy to schedule again with her!! Edwin also was very thorough in explaining my upcoming procedures and what to expect. The front staff is friendly and also great explaining my fees, and options. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with Dr. Valdez and his staff in getting my smile back with Invisalign...😁

AVOID this place. Long saga to tell, but in short they drilled into my tooth where there was a “cavity” ….went to a more reputable dentist at UNM in ABQ and they told me I had no cavities to begin with (they were just discoloration spots) and then they had to try to help reverse the damage that had been done at divine dental (two of my teeth had been improperly bonded together by divine dental assistant)
There are so many things wrong with this place. Don’t risk your health by going here.

Briana took great care in cleaning my teeth and checked in with me frequently to ensure I was doing okay. She gave me great advice for my home care routine to keep my teeth healthy and looking their best. I don't think anyone could expect more. This office is friendly and personable. I've only been in Santa Fe a year and a half, and they know me and my husband by name already.
