Dental Specialties and Procedures
The clinic provides a wide range of restorative and cosmetic treatments. Specialists manage cases from routine hygiene to complex full-mouth reconstructions. Every treatment plan begins with a diagnostic evaluation of bone and gum health.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design
Smile makeover plans correct the color, shape, and size of teeth. The clinic offers ceramic and resin veneers, including minimal-prep and no-prep options. For eligible cases, crowns or veneers can be fabricated and fitted within 48 hours.
Oral Rehabilitation and Implants
The surgical team places dental implants using recognized international systems. These include Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Tekka In-Kone implants. Rehabilitation options range from single crowns to full-arch fixed dentures in monolithic zirconia.
Orthodontics and Periodontal Care
Patients can choose between traditional braces and clear aligners. Orthodontic plans are customized based on bite and clinical complexity. Periodontal care treats gingivitis and periodontitis through scaling and root planing.
Patient Comfort and Pediatrics
The clinic offers conscious sedation with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). This helps patients with dental anxiety or a strong gag reflex stay calm while awake. Pediatric dentistry is also available for children, starting from their first months of life.
Technology and Laboratory Infrastructure
The clinic runs an on-site dental laboratory to streamline prosthesis fabrication. This setup lets the treating dentist check crown or veneer fit and color in real-time. Direct communication with lab technicians allows immediate adjustments without external workshops.
The facility uses several modern technologies for diagnosis and treatment:
- CAD/CAM systems: Computer-aided design and manufacturing for precise restorations.
- Digital scanning: Replaces traditional molds for more accurate dental impressions.
- Laser whitening: In-office systems for professional teeth bleaching.
Digital scans and CAD/CAM help the team plan complex surgeries and aesthetic designs with high precision.
Services for International Patients
The clinic offers a dedicated "Plan viajero" to assist patients traveling to Medellín for care. This service helps coordinate flight and hotel planning for a smooth visit. The medical team concentrates appointments into a shorter timeframe, so the trip is more efficient.
