Treatment of caries in Oralcoop Clínicas Odontológicas
About the clinic
Treatment of caries at Oralcoop Clínicas Odontológicas in Bogotá, Colombia, is tailored to how far decay has spread. On-site dental X-rays help detect hidden decay, while treatment can range from fluoride to pulp therapy.
Treatment options by stage
For an early white spot, a dentist may apply fluoride gel, foam, liquid, or varnish to help remineralize enamel. If a cavity has formed, the dentist removes the decay with rotary or manual tools. They then fill the tooth with tooth-colored resin.
Light-cured composite resin comes in several shades for front and back teeth. Ceramic restorations are also available. For decay that reaches the pulp, treatment may involve a pulpotomy, which removes part of the pulp, or a pulpectomy, which removes it fully.
Extensive damage to a baby tooth may call for extraction, usually followed by a space maintainer. Root canal treatment for deep decay takes one or two appointments, depending on the case.
Dental team and imaging
Dr. Claudia Patricia Polanco Perdomo specializes in aesthetic restorative dentistry and treats decayed teeth with a focus on appearance. She also lectures at Universidad El Bosque.
For children, Dr. Henry Emiro Vergara Bobadilla specializes in pediatric stomatology and manages childhood caries, including in children with systemic conditions. Dr. Adriana Pilar Pérez Arias is an endodontist with over 35 years of experience. Her work includes pulp diagnosis and infections around the tooth root linked to deep decay.
Periapical and bitewing X-rays can reveal decay between teeth or beneath the visible surface. The clinic also has panoramic X-rays. For children and anxious patients, conscious sedation is available in the dental chair through medication, inhaled gases, or intravenous medication.
Oralcoop was founded in 1994 by dentists from Universidad Javeriana, Universidad Nacional, and El Bosque. The clinic recommends a dental check-up and cleaning every six months. To explore treatment options, patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Oralcoop Clínicas Odontológicas: more details about the clinic
Oralcoop Clínicas Odontológicas is a multi-specialty dental clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. It opened in 1994 as an oral health cooperative that provides integrated care. Nine doctors handle complex cases across dental specialties, all in one building.
Specialized Medical Team
Dr. Camilo Bernal leads the clinic and has 25 years of experience. He is an oral surgeon, pathologist, and implantologist. Dr. Bernal also directs the Oral System Department at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
The medical staff trained at several recognized institutions:
- National University of Colombia
- Pontifical Xavierian University
- El Bosque University
- Jorge Tadeo Lozano University
Each specialist focuses on a distinct area, such as restorative dentistry, endodontics, or pediatric stomatology. Because of this, the team can coordinate care for a wide range of dental needs.
Oral Surgery and Implantology
The surgery department performs several types of extractions and corrective procedures:
- Surgical extraction of impacted teeth (odontectomies)
- Removal of cysts and small jaw tumors
- Biopsies with microscopic study for accurate diagnosis
- Treatment of lesions on the lips and oral mucosa
For patients with missing teeth, the clinic offers titanium dental implants. Options range from replacing a single tooth to restoring a full arch. Dr. German Mariño specializes in the final restoration placed on these implants.
Complete Dental Services
Dr. Adriana Perez leads the endodontics department, which focuses on saving damaged teeth. Specialists perform root canal treatments to remove infected pulp and seal the canal. To check the result, they compare new X-rays with the ones taken before treatment.
The periodontics service treats the gums and bone that support the teeth. Procedures include tissue regeneration to restore that support, plus aesthetic gum remodeling. Treatment covers both gingivitis and advanced periodontitis, with the goal of preventing tooth loss.
Pediatric care at Oralcoop includes specialized management for children with disabilities. For nervous patients, the clinic offers conscious sedation in the dental chair. It uses inhaled gases or intravenous techniques, and an anesthesiologist controls the process.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
Oralcoop uses digital tools for diagnosis and treatment planning. CEREC Omnicam scanning takes precise digital impressions of the mouth. This helps the team make accurate dental restorations.
Imaging and diagnostic options at the clinic include:
- Panoramic X-rays for a broad view of the jaws
- Periapical X-rays for detailed images of specific teeth
- Microscopic study for pathology and biopsy analysis
With these tools, specialists can spot fractures, infections, or tissue changes during the first consultation.
Patient Support and Guidance
The clinic gives clear guidance for dental emergencies like fractures or avulsions. Fast care matters here, since it raises the chances of saving a damaged tooth. Patients can also book online consultations to discuss treatment plans before arriving at the clinic.
