About us — The Clinic
We have several consultation rooms equipped with cutting edge technology:
Consultation Rooms
Our consultation rooms are modern, spacious and comfortable, and fully equipped to ensure high-quality care.
3D Intraoral Scanner
The 3D intraoral scanner allows precise digital impressions of the teeth (replacing traditional molds), improving patient comfort and the accuracy of treatments.
EMS System
The swiss-made EMS system is the best dental hygiene system available, it provides gentle, highly effective cleaning using advanced air-polishing technology, helping remove plaque and stains while ensuring maximum comfort for the patient.
Digital periapical x-ray technology
That exposes the patient to reduced levels of radiation and is essential in planning and dental treatments.
Magnifying Surgical Loupes
That allows the surgeon to work in minimal detail, resulting in a more precise esthetical and biological work, as well as a faster and safer procedure.
Virtual Private Theater Glasses
For the patient to be more comfortable, specially during long procedures where he/she can watch a movie or choose a relaxing landscape and music. Also a favourite feature of our pediatric patients with cartoons helping them forget they are at the Dentist’s Office.
Intra-oral cameras
That give explicit and detailed images that helps the patients understand and visualize;
About us — The Clinic
In August 2025 we moved from our previous premises (where the clinic had started more than 20 years ago) to a new and modern space.
Our new facilities were designed from the ground up to provide greater comfort, safety and convenience for our patients. With ample parking available and a privileged location, offering easy access and closer proximity to the N125 and the A22.
About us — The Clinic
Our surgical procedures are performed in the operating room.
A sterile operating room which was specifically designed for placement of dental implants, maxillary sinus elevation, bone / gum transplantation.
About us — The Clinic
The Imaging Room is equipped with state-of-the-art 3D Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CT) technology.
The Planmeca ProMax® 3D is a dedicated CT scanner that allows the capture of three-dimensional images of the patient's anatomical regions: oral cavity and region maxillofacial (mouth, jaws and neck), and ears, nose and throat (ENT). It is a useful tool in making complex diagnoses and treatment plans that are of particular importance in the field of Implantology (Dental Implants). It is fast and safe as the dentist can analyze and evaluate the image almost instantly and the patient is not subject to high doses of radiation compared to a conventional tomography.
