Tratamiento de la pulpitis en DentiCare

DentiCare is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in La Vega, Dominican Republic. It opened in 2020 and operates from a single building with nine specialized departments. The clinic uses a multidisciplinary model to serve families and international travelers.

Dental Specialties and Procedures

DentiCare focuses on restorative, aesthetic, and preventive dentistry. The medical team includes specialists in endodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and periodontology.

Restorative Dentistry and Implants

Specialists perform permanent tooth replacement using titanium dental implants. These biocompatible posts act as artificial roots once placed in the jawbone. After healing, doctors attach a bridge, prosthesis, or aesthetic metal-free crown to restore function. Dr. Kelery Díaz and Dr. Graciela Mercado lead the implantology team. They focus on cases involving tooth loss and bone protection.

Endodontics and Oral Surgery

Root canal treatments save natural teeth affected by pulpitis or infection. The process involves removing damaged tissue, then disinfecting and sealing the internal canals. For teeth darkened by prior trauma, the clinic offers internal whitening to restore natural color. Dr. Alicia Polanco, a Master in Endodontics, manages these procedures. Dr. Juan Bonilla handles maxillofacial and oral surgery cases.

Orthodontics and Smile Design

The clinic provides several options to correct tooth position and bite alignment:

• Traditional metal braces
• Ceramic and clear braces for better aesthetics
• Clear aligners
• Lingual braces placed on the back of the teeth

For patients seeking aesthetic improvements, the team offers Smile Design. This process harmonizes the shape and color of teeth. Professional whitening is also available. It uses specialized gels to remove deep enamel stains.

Periodontics and Gum Health

Treatment for periodontitis and periodontosis targets the structures supporting the teeth. Specialists perform deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing to remove tartar below the gumline. This controls infection and promotes regeneration of healthy periodontal tissue. These procedures help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of tooth loss.

Pediatric Care and Prevention

The clinic follows a prevention-first approach for all age groups. For children, specialists recommend a first dental visit by age 1 or shortly after the first teeth appear. Early visits help monitor development and prevent childhood caries.

Adult patients should visit for professional cleaning every six months. These routine appointments remove plaque that regular brushing cannot reach. The team also advises replacing toothbrushes every 3–4 months for effective cleaning at home.

Services for International Patients

DentiCare treats foreign visitors and provides all medical materials in Spanish. The clinic offers guidance on symptoms, emergency dental trauma, and preventive care. Patient coordinators assist with treatment planning and appointment bookings. Follow-up support focuses on long-term maintenance and regular monitoring.
