Main Specialties and Dental Procedures
The clinic covers major dental fields: oral rehabilitation, endodontics, and periodontics. Specialists handle everything from routine care to complex surgeries.
- Oral Implantology: Surgeons place dental implants using materials like zirconia for lasting tooth replacement.
- Orthodontics and Orthopedics: Options include ceramic, self-ligating, and invisible braces to correct teeth positioning and jaw disorders.
- Cosmetic Dentistry: Treatments include teeth whitening, minimal-prep veneers, and direct veneers for smile enhancement.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: The surgical team performs simple and complex extractions, including impacted root removal.
- Pediatric Dentistry: Dr. Celi Hernández treats children, focusing on prevention and early orthodontics.
A signature service is laser frenectomy. This procedure removes tissue folds that restrict tongue or lip movement. The laser method is more precise than traditional surgery. It needs less anesthesia and causes less inflammation afterward.
