Periapical X-ray in OdontoCenter clinic Dental

OdontoCenter clinic Dental is a private multi-specialty dental facility established in 1986. Founded by Dr. Jimmy Tintín, the clinic operates a multi-branch network across Ecuador with locations in Quito, Cumbayá, Cuenca, Guayaquil, and Manta. The center is organized into six specialized departments to provide restorative and aesthetic care in a single building.

Technology and Training Achievements

OdontoCenter positions itself as a digital clinic focused on reducing treatment times through updated technology. The clinic maintains an international presence and provides specialized training through its own institutes, ISICOE and IED.

The clinic emphasizes patient safety through a documented biosecurity program. This protocol includes:

• Pre-appointment health questionnaires and temperature screenings
• Ozonification and sterilization of clinical spaces
• Full disinfection of treatment areas between patients
• Absolute isolation using protective visors, masks, and uniforms

OdontoCenter also uses a security robot named "Vicente" for clinic monitoring and custody.

Dental Specialties and Procedures

The clinic performs a wide variety of restorative and cosmetic procedures across five core specialties. Every new patient receives a personalized assessment lasting 90 minutes. This visit includes panoramic radiography and consultations with specialists to create a detailed oral health plan.

Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry

Specialists use Digital Smile Design to plan aesthetic changes before treatment begins. For patients seeking color improvement, the clinic offers professional teeth whitening using cold light technology. A dentist supervises the process to protect gums and prevent sensitivity.

Restorative options include:

• Aesthetic ceramic veneers to improve tooth shape and color
• Lumineers-type ceramic laminates for minimal preparation
• Treatments to close diastemas (gaps between teeth)
• Aesthetic ceramic or sapphire brackets for discreet orthodontic care

Implantology and Oral Surgery

The surgical team specializes in digital implants using computer-guided planning for high accuracy. This approach works for single-tooth placements or complex All-on-4 rehabilitations. Some cases qualify for same-day placement, so patients can receive implants in a single visit.

Orthodontics and Periodontics

OdontoCenter provides self-ligating metal braces, such as the Damon Clear system. These brackets use an integrated gate to hold the archwire without rubber ligatures. For those avoiding wires, invisible orthodontics are available using removable transparent aligners. The periodontics unit treats gingivitis and advanced periodontitis to prevent bone loss and tooth mobility.

Pediatric Care

The Odontokids unit focuses specifically on pediatric endodontics. Specialists perform root canals on baby teeth to remove damaged nerves and seal the canal. This keeps the natural tooth in place until it falls out naturally.

Diagnostic and Treatment Equipment

The clinic operates as a digital workflow facility using advanced imaging systems. These tools support both general diagnostics and complex surgical planning.

Key technologies available on-site include:

• 3D PrimeScan scanner by Sirona for digital impressions
• Orthophos panoramic tomography for 3D dental models
• Cone Beam CT Scan for detailed jaw imaging
• Digital Easyshade colorimeter for precise tooth color matching
• Operating microscope for high visualization during restorative steps
• Intraoral cameras for real-time patient education and diagnosis

Specialists also use periapical X-ray equipment for detailed views of individual tooth roots.

Services for Patients

OdontoCenter supports a continuous care model where the team stays available after treatment. For orthodontic patients, the clinic provides custom-made retainers to maintain long-term results. Strategic alliances offer benefits and discounts at select locations, such as the Palmazul partnership for those in Manta.
