Hamada Dental Clinic is a private, multi-specialty dental center in the Los Prados district of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It opened in February 2016 to provide oral health care through a coordinated team of specialists. This setup lets patients receive complete care from diagnosis through complex surgery without changing providers.
Clinical Expertise and Professional Experience
Director Dr. Keiko Hamada leads the clinic with over 14 years of experience in preserving natural teeth and restorative dentistry. The medical team attends professional conferences and training programs to stay current with dental techniques. This includes coursework on skeletal anchorage from the national society of certified orthodontists.
Comprehensive Dental Specialties
The facility operates nine specialized departments covering a full range of oral health needs:
- Orthodontics – aligning teeth to improve speech and appearance.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery – complex extractions and jaw-related procedures.
- Endodontics – root canal therapy to save damaged teeth.
- Oral Rehabilitation – restoring function with prosthetics and implants.
- Periodontics – treating gum diseases like periodontitis.
The clinic also treats temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. These can cause pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
Orthodontic Care for Families
Orthodontic evaluations start at age 8. Early assessment helps specialists spot potential issues like impacted teeth or cysts. Aligning teeth during adolescence prevents long-term complications with eating and speaking.
Restorative and Surgical Procedures
Direct inlay reconstructions take about one hour to complete. Complex root canal therapies are also available, with duration depending on the tooth's specific needs. Surgical options include wisdom tooth removal and various oral surgeries performed under dental sedation for patient comfort.
Diagnostic Equipment
Accurate treatment planning starts with precise imaging available on-site. Panoramic X-rays capture a wide view of the entire mouth, including the jaws and sinuses. Periapical X-rays show detailed views of individual teeth from crown to bone. These tools help the team create staged treatment plans based on medical priority.
Services for International Patients
The clinic offers structured support for patients traveling from abroad. Services include private appointment scheduling and personalized treatment timelines. The team plans care in stages, so patients can manage visits according to their budget and medical priorities. The clinic uses high-quality materials from Japan for restorative and prosthetic procedures.
