Immediate Loading Implant Dentistry
The clinic focuses on monolithic immediate loading implants. This technique places fixed teeth in 48 hours or less. Surgeons use a flapless, "no scalpel" approach in most cases, so there's minimal bleeding and no sutures.
The protocol works well for patients with severe bone loss. It skips traditional bone grafting, which often extends treatment time. The team handles complex cases – severe maxillary atrophy and bone resorption – using International Implant Foundation protocols.
Patients with dental anxiety can choose electronic anesthesia or sedation. The clinic also applies No-Itis Laser technology to implant surfaces. This creates a smooth finish that helps prevent peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant).
Oral Rehabilitation and Orthodontics
Oral rehabilitation services include crowns, fixed bridges, and full dentures. The clinic uses BruxZir Solid Zirconia for these restorations. This material comes with a 7-year guarantee against fractures or cracking, backed by a certificate.
Dr. Ángela Páez leads the orthodontic department. The team offers several bracket systems:
- Auto ligado M – self-ligating nickel-titanium brackets that reduce excessive force.
- METHALIC – standard and mini MBT brackets for traditional alignment.
- Ceramic Braces – aesthetic options that blend with natural tooth color.
- Clear aligners for patients who prefer metal-free alternatives.
Initial placement for these systems typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Educational Services and Technology
The clinic runs a Dental Training program as a regional teaching hub. Dr. Carlos Garcés offers guidance and consultations for dentists handling difficult implant cases. This includes strategic implantology methods developed by Dr. Stefan Ihde.
Treatment uses Swiss-manufactured implant technology for material precision. Digital planning supports the rapid 48-hour delivery of fixed prosthetics.
International Patient Care
International patients can book virtual assessments before traveling to Bogotá. This lets the team review cases and plan the immediate loading protocol remotely. Most patients receive their final fixed restorations within 3 days, which significantly shortens the required stay in Colombia.
