All-on-4 Dental Implants in Dental Global

Dental Global is a specialized dental center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Dr. Minolia Mena founded this family-run clinic in 1991. It now provides multi-specialty care through five dedicated departments. The facility combines general dentistry with digital production methods to reduce treatment time for international patients.

Specialized Dental Care and Technologies

The clinic's digital laboratory designs and manufactures crowns and veneers in less than 24 hours. This speed comes from an in-house CAD/CAM workflow. Surgeons and technicians use CAD/CAM milling with millimeter precision to fabricate restorations directly from ceramic blocks.

Patients participate in planning through digital design tools. They can view and approve the prosthetic design before manufacturing begins. The clinic treats aesthetic and restorative needs using several methods:

• Porcelain and metal-ceramic (PFM) crown installation
• All-on-4 dental implant protocols
• Fixed and removable prostheses
• Flexible partial dentures using Valplast and nylon materials
• Advanced endodontic root canal treatments

Dr. Minolia Mena leads the aesthetic dentistry team with over 30 years of clinical experience. The center also provides dedicated pediatric dentistry, with a qualified team and a play area for children.

Maxillofacial Surgery and Periodontics

The maxillofacial department manages surgical conditions of the oral cavity. Specialists address trauma, structural issues, and tooth loss through various procedures:

• Simple and complex tooth extractions
• Third molar (wisdom teeth) surgeries
• Guided bone regeneration and maxillary sinus lifts
• Removal of oral cysts and tumors
• Treatment of impacted or unerupted teeth

The periodontics team treats gum conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis. They perform gingivectomies and frenulum removals to preserve the tissues supporting the teeth. For complex surgeries, the clinic offers conscious sedation to improve patient comfort.

Diagnostic Equipment

The clinic takes a high-technology approach to diagnostics. Specialists use CBCT (Cone Beam CT Scan) to create 3D images of dental structures and nerve paths. Other diagnostic tools include:

• Intraoral digital scanners for mess-free impressions
• Digital intraoral X-rays
• Panoramic radiography (orthopantomogram)

These digital tools allow immediate viewing of results. This cuts wait times and helps the team coordinate care across specialties.

Services for International Patients

Dental Global runs a dental tourism program called "Your smile in four steps." It serves patients from the United States, Canada, and Europe. The center provides personalized virtual evaluations, so patients receive a preliminary plan before traveling.

The clinic coordinates travel logistics for a stress-free experience. Staff help with finding flights and arranging accommodation. They also organize local excursions during recovery time. The clinic follows certified biosafety protocols, including continuous disinfection of clinical areas before and after every patient.
