Juan Fidel Díez, Oral rehabilitation specialist

Juan Fidel Díez leads Unilaser Clinic in Medellín and is the specialist behind the clinic’s signature smile design approach. The clinic describes him as the first dentist in Medellín to graduate in Cosmetics Dentistry at New York University, and his profile combines dental aesthetics with oral rehabilitation. What stands out in his work is the emphasis on non-invasive techniques: he is described as pioneering smile design in Medellín using methods that avoid dental wear for resin/composite veneers, and using micro-preparations for ceramic/porcelain veneers with a dental microscope. Unilaser supports this style of planning with a structured virtual consultation process, where patients can send photos and X-rays and receive personalized treatment options.
