Dr. Jacobo Bendayan runs a single-doctor private practice in Bogotá, Colombia. His clinic is in the Chicó neighborhood and focuses on periodontics and dental implants. Dr. Bendayan has around 20 years of experience in restorative and surgical dental care.
Specialties and Dental Procedures
The clinic treats conditions related to gum health and tooth loss. Dr. Bendayan offers both surgical and non-surgical therapies. Before placing any restorations, he first builds a healthy base of bone and gum tissue.
Dental Implants and Oral Rehabilitation
Dr. Bendayan replaces lost teeth with titanium implants that act as artificial tooth roots. He uses digital planning, so surgical outcomes are more predictable. For international patients, the implant process usually takes two trips:
- The first trip is for surgical placement of the implants.
- Healing happens at home over three to six months.
- The second trip is for placing the final crowns or bridges.
- Before finishing, specialists check implant stability and bite fit.
Each trip usually lasts 7 to 10 days. This includes follow-up appointments before the patient flies home.
Periodontics and Gum Therapy
The clinic treats gum disease at different stages, from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Dr. Bendayan performs deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacterial buildup. If the disease has caused tissue loss, he performs gum grafts to restore the protective layer around the teeth.
Bone Regeneration
Patients with significant bone loss may need reconstruction before they can get implants. Dr. Bendayan performs several types of bone grafting:
- Sinus-lifting to raise the sinus floor for upper jaw implants.
- Bone grafting at the same time as implant placement.
- Separate bone reconstruction procedures for complex cases.
- Shorter or angled implants as an alternative to grafting.
He decides on bone reconstruction after 3D imaging and an in-person evaluation. These procedures usually take place under local anesthesia.
Technology and Diagnostics
The clinic uses modern imaging to plan every surgery. Detailed maps of the patient's anatomy help prevent complications. These tools show whether a patient has enough bone density for a successful implant.
- 3D CT scan for measuring bone volume and planning grafts.
- Digital scans and impressions for creating final crowns.
- Google Meet for initial pre-travel video consultations.
Digital scans replace traditional molds, so prosthetics fit more precisely on implants.
Services for International Patients
The clinic has a dedicated workflow for patients traveling to Bogotá. Dr. Bendayan communicates with patients in English himself. This way, patients understand every step of their treatment plan before leaving home.
Initial consultations are free video calls on Google Meet. They run Monday to Friday, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Colombia time. Dr. Bendayan reviews each case and prepares a preliminary written treatment plan. Scheduling and coordination happen over WhatsApp, so responses are quick.
Care continues after the patient returns home. Dr. Bendayan offers follow-up support through video calls and messaging. This lets him monitor healing and implant success over the long term.
