Carilla de porcelana en Dental Aesthetics and Rehabilitation

Dental Aesthetics and Rehabilitation is a private dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It opened in 2018 and operates from a single building with three specialized departments. The practice focuses on aesthetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation for local and international patients.

Professional Credentials and Experience

Founder Dr. Carolina Jiménez leads the clinic with over 8 years of clinical experience. She holds DDS and DMD degrees and a Master's in Oral Rehabilitation and Dental Aesthetics. She also works as a University Lecturer and Legal and Forensic Dentist.

Aesthetic Dentistry and Smile Design

The clinic specializes in Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan smile transformations. These digital programs combine procedures that improve tooth shape and color. Ceramic smile designs last between 13 and 18 years. The practice offers several restorative and cosmetic options:

• Ceramic veneers and crowns
• Resin veneers with no dental wear
• Digital smile evaluation and planning
• Internal whitening for conservative color correction
• Gingivoplasty to contour the gum line

For internal tooth discoloration, specialists use internal bleaching as a less invasive alternative to veneers. This approach preserves more natural tooth structure while achieving aesthetic results.

Oral Rehabilitation and Restorative Care

The clinic provides treatments to restore dental health and bite alignment. Surgeons perform dental implant procedures to replace missing teeth. For full-arch restoration, the clinic offers complete dentures and fixed bridges. The team also handles acute dental issues:

• Dental fracture restoration using composite resin
• Treatment for dental caries
• Direct resin bonding for immediate repairs
• Professional dental cleaning

Complex cases often combine functional rehabilitation with aesthetic upgrades. This ensures both strength and natural appearance. Each treatment plan follows a private consultation and digital diagnostic model.

Technology and Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses digital dentistry platforms to improve the accuracy of restorations. Intraoral scanning replaces traditional molds, so the experience is more comfortable. The clinic has specific diagnostic and planning technologies:

• Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models
• Digital intraoral scanning
• Panoramic X-ray for full-jaw imaging
• Computer-aided design for smile planning

These tools let the doctor create precise digital replicas of the patient's mouth. This helps in making custom-fit crowns and veneers.

International Patient Services

Dental Aesthetics and Rehabilitation has a specialized workflow for patients traveling from abroad. The clinic serves international visitors, including those from the United States. Consultations and treatment planning are available in English and Spanish. A bilingual medical team coordinates care for foreign patients.
