This philosophy has been recognized with the national merit award “Best Dental Clinic 2018” by DentalPro.
About us — The Clinic
All these services enable our patients to enjoy a healthy life with no hesitation displaying a new beautiful smile
About us — The Clinic
We have 3 consultation rooms equipped with cutting edge technology, for example:
Intra-oral cameras
That give explicit and detailed images that helps the patients understand and visualize;
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.
About us — The Clinic
A sterile operating room which was specifically designed for placement of dental implants, maxillary sinus elevation, bone / gum transplantation.
This room is equipped with a live video and audio system to interact with physician attending courses we teach at our Training Room.
About us — The Clinic
The training room has a capacity for 12 doctors to follow the course with live transmission of surgeries.
Trainees train hands-on with 3D printed models, mimicking real-world cases.
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.
About us — The Clinic
We have an in-house dental laboratory working daily for you.
It ensures greater speed and precision in the rehabilitation of your smile. We use the most modern technology, such as digital scanners, which allows us to sculpt all the details of your new smile.
