Orthodontics
By correcting the position of the teeth we seek to achieve the best function and aesthetics. Depending on the case and your needs, we will choose the best option for you.
The first visit to the orthodontist should be from the age of three. When you decide to fix the misalignment of your teeth, the first thing we do is a complete and individualized study of your mouth to decide what is the best option for your case.
Invisible Orthodontics
Invisible orthodontics (Invisalign) uses clear aligners made specifically for each patient through digital mapping made with a state-of-the-art scanner (iTero). The main advantages of invisible orthodontics are aesthetics , comfort and how much easier it is to keep clean.

Interceptive Orthodontics
With interceptive orthodontics, we start from a young age to correct bone malformations and prevent future lack of space. We also detect bad habits, which in the future can lead to complex and difficult-to-solve malocclusions. In this first phase of orthodontics, using simple appliances and in a short time, we achieve more harmonious growth of the jaws and teeth.
Orthognathic Surgery
When in addition to a dental malposition there is a malposition of the bones, sometimes there is no other option than to perform orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment. In these cases, the collaboration of a maxillofacial specialist is key to the treatment. Therefore, from our clinic, we collaborate with highly prestigious maxillofacial specialists to solve these problems.
Pediatric Dentistry
We believe that modern dentistry should be preventive and not curative. To avoid the statistics, according to which 1 in 4 primary school children has cavities, the first visit should be during the first year of life.
We have the right material to treat children from early childhood, we want to avoid anxiety in children, we motivate them, and create a relationship of trust.
More information about pediatric dentistry
Cavities are a 100% preventable disease with control of dietary sugars (quantity and frequency) and proper brushing with toothpaste that contains a minimum of 1,000 ppm (parts per million) of fluoride.
A white spot on the baby is the first sign of cavities. With a change in diet, proper brushing, and professional fluoride, we can prevent cavities from advancing. We treat cavities, by doing fillings or nerve treatments, but we prioritize prevention and education. Therefore, we recommend visits every 6-12 months. In our clinic, we will assess the real risk of cavities for each child and will control occlusion from the very first moment.
Conservative Dentistry
To achieve good oral health, we place great importance on the first visit and periodic check-ups. We apply restorative and aesthetic dentistry with the best materials.
We place great importance on periodic check-ups. Maintaining the mouth is the basis for good oral health. We apply modern and aesthetic restorative dentistry and use the best materials.
Prosthetics
We collaborate with great prosthetists to restore the function of the mouth. We seek the best aesthetics for the patient and always use the most up-to-date materials and the most innovative technology on the market.
With oral rehabilitation, we aim to restore dental function and aesthetics. The most important thing when rehabilitating a mouth that has lost its function is to carry out a good case planning: good records, photos, scans, X-rays, etc.
In many cases, restoration will be required through prostheses on the teeth or on implants. And in some more severe cases, previous orthodontic treatment will be necessary.
Endodontics
When you have had a large cavity or trauma that has affected the pulp (the nerve), endodontics is the solution to keep that tooth and eliminate the pain.
Endodontics is the specialty that deals with the treatment of the dental nerve. In cases where we have cavities that reach the nerve, teeth with pulpitis, dental trauma, or hypersensitivity to cold or heat, endodontics of the affected tooth will be performed. Pain is usually the most common symptom alerting us that there is a nerve problem.
Steps of the endodontic process
The steps to perform endodontics are the removal of the nerve, a good cleaning of the canals, and finally a good sealing of the canals. Our endodontist is in charge of these treatments using the latest technology on the market.
Periodontics
The gums and the bone that supports the teeth are the basis for good oral health. Many people do not know that they have periodontal disease or gingivitis. Come and we will do a complete study of your gums.
Periodontics is the specialty that treats the gums and the tissues that support the teeth. Therefore, it is essential that the gums are healthy before performing any treatment.
More information about periodontal diseases
Periodontal disease is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults. Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and periodontitis (loss of bone that supports the teeth) are the most common periodontal diseases. Many times the patient is not aware that they have a periodontal problem, as periodontitis does not hurt. That is why it is so important to have periodic check-ups and the appropriate treatment.
Periodontal treatments
In our clinic, we place great importance on the periodontal condition of the patients, as the gums are the basis for any treatment to work.
The first step to treat periodontal disease is done through a technique called scaling and root planing and the periodontist will determine how many sessions are necessary. In more advanced cases, after performing the scaling, periodontal surgery may be required.
Our periodontist will do a study to assess the case and then decide what treatment to follow, and will also emphasize the importance of performing periodic maintenance to keep our gums in good condition and prevent the disease from advancing.
Implantology
We use implants to replace missing teeth, whether it is a single tooth or an entire arch, always considering the patient's needs in each case.
With implantology, we seek to recover lost teeth to have good function and at the same time good quality of life. And, as always, good planning is the most important thing to find the best treatment for you.
We avoid low cost implants and materials. Therefore, we always use high-quality implants that have been on the market for years, because they give us the peace of mind of knowing that we are working to achieve the best result.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Wisdom teeth surgery, impacted teeth, biopsies, etc., always with the necessary prior information, X-rays, and CT scans.
In our clinic, you will find an oral surgeon who will solve cases of tooth extractions, dental cysts, impacted teeth, biopsies, etc. Surgeries are performed with the necessary diagnostic and radiological tests and in conditions of maximum safety.
