Dental bridge installation in clinic Odontoser

Clinic Odontoser is a multidisciplinary dental center in Medellín, Colombia. This private facility provides complete and aesthetic dental care for adults and children. The clinic operates from one central branch and offers services from preventive care to complex oral surgery.

Core Dental Specialties

The medical team focuses on several key areas of modern dentistry:

• Implantology: placement of titanium dental implants for permanent tooth replacement.
• Oral Rehabilitation: fixed and removable prosthetics to restore bite function.
• Endodontics: root canal treatments to save damaged or infected teeth.
• Orthodontics: correction of bite anomalies using fixed or removable appliances.
• Pediatric Dentistry: specialized dental care starting from the first year of life.
• Periodontics: surgical and non-surgical treatment of gum disease.

Dr. Adriana Herrera leads several of these areas. She holds certifications in endodontics and aesthetic dentistry. The clinic also provides 24-hour emergency dental services.

Implantology and Oral Rehabilitation

The clinic performs dental implant placement using a two-phase surgical approach. First, a titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. If the patient lacks sufficient bone, specialists can perform bone grafting or maxillary sinus elevation. This creates a stable foundation for the prosthetic restoration.

Bone integration requires 4 to 6 months of healing. Once the implant is secure, the prosthetic phase begins. Surgeons attach custom crowns, fixed bridges, or larger implant-supported structures. For patients not seeking implants, the clinic offers fixed and removable prosthetics, including partial dentures with metal frameworks.

Endodontics and Periodontal Surgery

Root canal treatments preserve teeth with deep decay or nerve damage. The process involves removing the infected nerve, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them. After the procedure, the tooth is restored with an inlay, onlay, or a crown with a post.

For patients with advanced gum disease, the clinic performs periodontal surgery under local anesthesia. This procedure includes several steps:

• Removal of bacterial plaque and dental calculus (tartar).
• Elimination of infected tissue from around the tooth root.
• Gum reshaping or flap lifting for deeper access.
• Bone remodeling and graft placement to stabilize loose teeth.

Surgeons use ultrasonic and rotary instruments for precise cleaning between the gum and tooth.

Maxillofacial Surgery and Facial Aesthetics

Care extends to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for functional and oncologic conditions. Specialists treat oral cancer and facial oncologic issues. They also offer reconstructive options, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and face lifting.

For non-surgical facial enhancement, the clinic offers orofacial harmonization. This includes botulinum toxin and dermal fillers for aesthetic concerns. These treatments also serve functional purposes, such as correcting a gummy smile or managing bruxism. Patients may also choose PRP therapy for natural facial rejuvenation using platelet-rich plasma.

Services for International Patients

The clinic accepts international payments through the Quash system. Support staff help patients prepare for complex treatments like orthodontics. Specialists note that follow-up visits account for 50% of success in any dental procedure. For local needs, the clinic uses portable dental equipment to provide basic care at home or in corporate settings.
