At-Home Teeth Whitening - Tooth bleaching can remove stains and areas of discoloration from the teeth. At-home tooth whitening patients are provided with trays fitted to their mouths and a peroxide-based tooth whitening solution. At-home tooth whitening usually takes between two and three weeks. We currently use Night White Excel ACP of Discus Dental 0.16% or 0.22%.
Composite Resin Fillings - Amalgam fillings and gold fillings are becoming obsolete as more patients choose to go with composite resin "tooth-colored" fillings. Composite resin fillings can be made to match the color of a patient's natural tooth. Composite resin fillings have rendered the silver fillings that were once telling signs of cavities unnecessary. We use two types of material VOCO (Grandio) German Brand of composite or IVOCLAR (Tetric-N-Ceram) USA brand of adhesive dentistry products.

Tooth Replacement Therapy That Mimics Nature implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available to replace missing teeth. Dental implant restorations generally look, feel and act like natural teeth.
Dental implants may offer you important advantages compared to other treatment options: improved good health and enhanced appearance, which may lead to greater self confidence and a better quality of life.
A Crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant and is typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can by made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth.
A dental crown is a full tooth covering that makes the tooth stronger after it breaks or suffers from some infection. An endodoncist may have done a root canal.
Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
Gum disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. Gum disease begins when the bacteria in plaque, which is the sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on the teeth, causes the gums to become inflamed.
A healthy Tooth: A root canal treatment generally involves the removal and replacement of a tooth's pulp. The pulp is soft tissue containing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.
Here is what you can expect when you schedule a root canal treatment. On the initial visit: Local anesthetic usually is given, to maintain patient comfort.
The affected tooth is isolated from saliva with a rubberlike sheet called a dam.
An opening is made through the crown of the tooth. The pulp is removed, and then the root is cleaned and shaped. Medication may be added to the pulp chamber and root canal(s) to help eliminate bacteria.
At-Home Teeth Whitening - Tooth bleaching can remove stains and areas of discoloration from the teeth. At-home tooth whitening patients are provided with trays fitted to their mouths and a peroxide-based tooth whitening solution. At-home tooth whitening usually takes between two and three weeks
At Office Teeth Whitening - It can be done with a fotocure lamp and with laser. It always involves gels with peroxide and it can cause sensitivity to the teeth.
We offer visitors two ways to do the orthodontic treatment. You can start with plastic trainer to guide your teeth to the right position, if you are under 15 years old. If you are older we can give you two choices: 1. You can put Damon Technique so you will come every 3 months to a control appointment or 2. You can find an orthodontist in the USA who will follow your orthodontic treatment.
Regular orthodontic treatments need a control appointment every month. It is not cost effective to travel to Costa Rica. I stongly recommend to do the orthodontic locally since the success of this treatment is in the follow up and continue check ups.
NEW!!
Invisalign(r) : Now we have a professional who work in invisalign system. So you can come have a check up and start the process of invisalign orthodontics.
What is Invisalign?
Your Invisalign treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth, and your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed by your dental practitioner.
What’s more, a virtual treatment plan generated by Align Technology’s unique ClinCheck® software shows the series of movements your teeth will go through over the course of the treatment. This allows you to see upfront what your teeth are expected to look like at the end of the treatment. From the results of the ClinCheck software, your custom-made, clear aligners are produced especially for you.
If you're ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other treatment works as comfortably as Invisalign.
