Dr. Hortencia Recio (Estudio HR): more details about the clinic
Dr. Hortencia Recio (Estudio HR) is a private dental practice in Santo Domingo. The clinic focuses on advanced aesthetics and complex oral rehabilitation. Dr. Recio provides specialized care to improve both chewing function and smile harmony. Her practice is built on a digital workflow. Patients approve every design before any physical work begins.
Academic Background and Patient Outcomes
Dr. Hortencia Recio has over 15 years of clinical experience in dentistry. She holds a doctorate from the University of São Paulo and a research master's from UIC Barcelona. This allows her to base treatment decisions on advanced science. She currently teaches at UASD and in master's programs at PUCMM.
The clinic treats many international patients, including U.S. residents. It maintains a 5.0 rating on Google based on 40+ reviews. Patients often choose this practice for its staged, conservative approach to permanent aesthetic changes.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design
The clinic uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan aesthetic transformations. This process starts with facial analysis using clinical photographs and smile videos. An intraoral scan creates a digital model of the patient's teeth. Specialists then use software to design the final result.
Before any irreversible work begins, the clinic creates an aesthetic provisional mock-up. Patients test this in-mouth trial and approve it. This step ensures the final look meets expectations while preserving natural tooth structure. The clinic offers several aesthetic options:
- Ultra-thin feldspathic porcelain veneers
- Lithium disilicate restorations
- Minimally invasive veneers (minimal-prep or no-prep)
- Composite resin veneers
All veneers are placed using adhesive cementation under absolute isolation. This creates a strong bond and protects the teeth during the procedure.
Complex Oral Rehabilitation
For patients with significant tooth loss or severe wear, the clinic provides full oral rehabilitation. These treatments address bite collapse and restore the vertical dimension of the face. The focus is on balancing biological health with aesthetic results. Typical rehabilitation cases involve:
- Renewal of old fixed or removable prostheses
- Installation of dental bridges and crowns
- Implant-based restoration using recognized brand systems
- Management of severe bite complexity
Rehabilitation plans take between 3 and 12 months depending on complexity. If dental implants are necessary, patients allow an additional 3–6 months for bone healing.
Diagnostics and Digital Technology
The clinic uses a fully digital diagnostic suite. Cerec Omnicam scanning replaces traditional uncomfortable putty impressions. This technology produces accurate 3D digital models instantly. For surgical cases, the team uses 3D tomography to plan implant placement safely.
Surgical guides are produced when applicable to improve accuracy during implant procedures. These digital tools help the clinic maintain a minimally invasive approach throughout treatment.
Services for International Patients
Dr. Hortencia Recio offers personalized written treatment plans after an initial evaluation. These are especially helpful for international patients coordinating travel to the Dominican Republic. The clinic provides a structured timeline for each stage of planning and clinical execution.
