VI·A Specialist Group is a multi-specialty health and wellness center. Established in 2025, it is located in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The facility operates as a private specialist practice. It combines dental care with dermatology, nutrition, and psychology services.
Professional Recognition and Expertise
The clinic is led by Dr. Laura Troche, an active member of the Dominican College of Odontologists. She graduated in Estomatología from PUCMM in 2009. She later completed specialist training in restorative dentistry. Her professional background includes leadership and educational roles:
- Founder and former executive president of ADEST-PUCMM STGO
- Certified in surgical, systemic, and low-intensity lasers by USP-Brazil
- Panelist for international dental whitening campaigns
- Expert in conservative preparation for ceramic laminates
Her training in Brazil focused on techniques that preserve natural tooth structure. This expertise supports the clinic's focus on healthy, radiant smiles.
Aesthetic Dentistry and Restorative Care
The dental department focuses on cosmetic smile upgrades. Specialists use conservative methods to protect long-term oral health. Care begins with a detailed consultation and personalized treatment plan. The clinic treats patients with high cavity risk and tooth sensitivity.
Aesthetic procedures include several modern options:
- Laser teeth whitening for rapid color improvement
- Ceramic veneers (carillas) for structural smile enhancement
- Direct veneers designed for a natural appearance
- Professional scaling and deep root planing
Whitening is the least invasive first option. The clinic provides in-office whitening while respecting the natural tooth shade. Regular cleanings help prevent long-term dental issues.
Specialized Wellness Initiatives
VI·A Specialist Group integrates dental care with broader health topics. The clinic hosts "Glow Week" to address skin and nutritional health. These events combine emotional well-being with aesthetic treatments, so smile care fits into a total wellness strategy.
The center provides dedicated guidance for expectant mothers. The "Embarazo y bienestar materno" sessions cover early oral health. These talks focus on the first 1,000 days of a child's life. Specialists discuss the prevention of postpartum depression during these sessions.
Technologies and Advanced Methods
Dr. Troche uses low-intensity and systemic laser therapy for both surgical and restorative applications. The clinic uses conservative preparation techniques for ceramic laminates. This method minimizes the removal of healthy enamel during aesthetic procedures.
All aesthetic treatments aim for a natural look. Specialized laser training ensures precision during whitening and preparation. This technological focus helps reduce patient discomfort.
Services for Patients
The clinic provides services in Spanish. Specialists share wellness information through connected social channels. The center limits spots for its specialized health talks to ensure quality interaction. Every treatment plan is built around the patient's unique natural appearance.
