Dental bridge installation in Odontología Dominicana (ODONTO-DOM)

Odontología Dominicana (ODONTO-DOM) is a private multi-center dental network. Founded in 1991 in the Dominican Republic, it grew from two dental chairs into a large specialized network. The main facility is in the Dominican Dentistry Tower in Santo Domingo. The organization operates as a family-owned provider under Dr. Arabella Michelen de Domínguez.

Accreditations and Quality Standards

The network holds the INDOCAL Quality Seal, which recognizes compliance with national quality standards. ODONTO-DOM is also an authorized Health Provider (PSS) under the General Health Law.

Specialists trained at several institutions:

• Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE)
• Pedro Henríquez Ureña National University
• Facultad de Centro Oeste Paulista in Brazil
• University of Cartagena in Colombia
• Higher Institute of Dental Specialties (ISEO)

The medical team includes over 20 specialized dentists covering every major field of modern dentistry.

Dental Specialties and Treatment Methods

The Dental Treatment department uses a multidisciplinary approach. Specialists coordinate across fields to create individual treatment plans. The clinic applies the ROA method for advanced oral rehabilitation – restoring function and aesthetics through modern restorative techniques.

The Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial unit handles complex cases, including:

• Dental diseases and infections
• Soft and hard tissue problems
• Congenital oral anomalies
• Facial trauma requiring surgical correction
• Jaw and gum surgical procedures

Endodontics specialists focus on preserving natural teeth. Dr. Madeline Mejía leads pulpitis treatments with 10 years of experience. These procedures eliminate internal infections to avoid extraction.

The Periodontics team treats diseases affecting the supporting tissues of teeth. This includes gum infections and bone loss around tooth roots.

Cosmetic Dentistry services include orofacial harmonization and Smile Makeover procedures. Whitening is available in-clinic or through supervised at-home kits. The network uses Straumann Dental Implants for tooth replacement. A dedicated sports dentistry unit provides specialized care for athletes.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

ODONTO-DOM uses digital platforms for treatment planning. Specialists employ Digital Smile Design (DSD) to preview aesthetic results before procedures begin. Laser dentistry is available for surgical and restorative work.

Diagnostic tools include:

• Cone Beam CT Scan for 3D bone imaging
• 3D Scanner for digital dental impressions
• Cerec Omnicam Scanning for digital diagnostic models
• Florida Probe for computer-assisted periodontal diagnostics
• Panoramic and targeted X-rays

Digital scanning replaces traditional molds, so patients experience greater comfort during impressions.

Services for International Patients

The clinic runs a dedicated dental tourism program. Coordinators support patients before, during, and after their trip. International visitors can consult specialists remotely from their home country. This allows early planning of diagnosis and treatment timelines. The network coordinates care across its centers in Santo Domingo and other regions.
