Ortho Oral

Ortho Oral is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Founded in Colombia in 1995, it expanded to the Dominican Republic in 2000. The facility operates four specialized departments under one roof, treating both adults and children.Five specialized doctors care for local and international patients. The clinic also runs the Ortho Oral Mobile Clinics initiative. This program delivers oral health services and education directly to neighborhoods across the region.

Main Specialties and Dental Procedures

The clinic covers major dental fields: oral rehabilitation, endodontics, and periodontics. Specialists handle everything from routine care to complex surgeries.

• Oral Implantology: Surgeons place dental implants using materials like zirconia for lasting tooth replacement.
• Orthodontics and Orthopedics: Options include ceramic, self-ligating, and invisible braces to correct teeth positioning and jaw disorders.
• Cosmetic Dentistry: Treatments include teeth whitening, minimal-prep veneers, and direct veneers for smile enhancement.
• Maxillofacial Surgery: The surgical team performs simple and complex extractions, including impacted root removal.
• Pediatric Dentistry: Dr. Celi Hernández treats children, focusing on prevention and early orthodontics.

A signature service is laser frenectomy. This procedure removes tissue folds that restrict tongue or lip movement. The laser method is more precise than traditional surgery. It needs less anesthesia and causes less inflammation afterward.

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

Ortho Oral runs a dedicated Radiological Support Center for all imaging needs. This cuts waiting times by giving patients immediate access to diagnostics:

• Panoramic X-rays (OPG)
• Lateral skull and periapical X-rays
• Intraoral scanning
• Digital Smile Design (DSD) for aesthetic planning

An in-house orthodontics lab speeds up appliance production using imported materials.

Patient Safety and Hygiene Protocols

Sterilization anchors the clinic's daily workflow. A dedicated TOTAL STERILIZATION area handles all instruments and equipment. Staff follow strict biosafety procedures for infectious disease control. Digital diagnostics fit into these protocols, so treatment stays accurate within a sterile environment.
