Florida Probe in Bucalia Odontología Integral
About the clinic
The Florida Probe examination at Bucalia Odontología Integral in Santiago, Dominican Republic, provides a computer-assisted assessment of gum health. This diagnostic tool detects early signs of periodontal disease and tracks the depth of gum pockets. The clinic is a multispecialty center in the La Trinitaria district, offering advanced digital diagnostic workflows for international and local patients.
Diagnostic Details and Equipment
The Florida Probe system replaces traditional manual gum measuring tools with a computerized sensor. This method provides objective data for treatment planning. The examination helps the dental team identify bone loss and infection risks around the teeth and implants. Patients receive a digital periodontal chart that visually shows the status of their oral health.
- Florida Probe technology. Uses a constant-force probe to measure pocket depth without human error.
- Digital diagnostic workflow. Integrates probe data into a full digital map of the mouth.

Clinic Features
Bucalia Odontología Integral functions as both a clinical facility and a research hub. It houses the Fundación Bucalia, which focuses on oral health research and community promotion. The facility accepts major ARS insurance plans and provides financing options for complex diagnostic and treatment cases. Because it is a multispecialty center, patients can access specialists in orthodontics and implantology if the probe results indicate a need for further evaluation.

Comprehensive Dental Services
Bucalia provides integrated dental care that connects prosthetics, implants, and occlusion. Specialists coordinate across departments to manage complex oral rehabilitation. The facility also treats children through its pediatric dentistry services.
Advanced Oral Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation team restores function and oral harmony for patients. They use fixed and removable prosthetics on natural teeth or implants. Careful shade selection ensures a natural appearance.
Specialized Treatment for Bruxism
The clinic treats bruxism (teeth grinding) with targeted interventions. Botulinum toxin injections reduce masticatory force, which lowers pain and decreases grinding episodes.
Surgical and Laser Procedures
Surgeons perform complex procedures, including wisdom teeth removal. The clinic uses diode dental laser technology for several applications:
- Bacterial cleaning and periodontal care
- Laser teeth whitening
- Crown lengthening
- Precise soft tissue surgeries
- Pain management for jaw disorders
Laser treatments run without the noise of traditional turbines. This technology protects healthy tissue during procedures.
Diagnostic Technology
Bucalia uses a digital diagnostic workflow for precise treatment planning. Digital Smile Design (DSD) simulates aesthetic outcomes before treatment begins. Electronic axiography analyzes jaw movement and bite alignment.
The facility has several advanced imaging and diagnostic tools:
- Cone Beam CT Scan for 3D bone imaging
- Cerec Omnicam for intraoral scanning and digital models
- Panoramic and targeted periapical X-rays
- DIAGNOCam for early caries detection without radiation
- Florida Probe for computer-assisted gum disease assessment
These tools let the team create personalized surgical templates for implant placement.
International Patient Services
Bucalia treats international patients through a structured appointment system. The clinic accepts major insurance plans and offers financing for complex cases. Specialists provide educational content in Spanish to help patients understand their options.
