Colombia Care Dental

Established in 2019, Colombia Care Dental is a physician-led facility in Medellín's El Poblado district. This private clinic operates from the Q Office Building. It was designed specifically to serve patients from the USA, Canada, and the UK.

Accreditations and Safety Standards

The clinic is licensed under INVIMA, Colombia's national health authority. This certification confirms it meets regional medical safety and infrastructure requirements. The medical team maintains professional liability coverage for all procedures.

Every treatment plan undergoes board review before work begins. The clinic uses internationally standardized sterilization protocols for surgical implant procedures and restorative work.

Patient confidence is supported by a 2-year written warranty on specific restorative treatments. This warranty covers material defects and bonding failures for:

• Porcelain and zirconia veneers
• Dental crowns
• Fixed bridges
• Crowns placed on dental implants

If a remake is necessary, the clinic performs the work at its Medellín location.

Dental Implants and Restoration

The clinic reports a 95% success rate for dental implants over a 10-year clinical period. Surgeons use American-brand BioHorizons implants as their default system. Treatment for a single missing tooth includes the post, abutment, and crown.

For full-arch restoration, the clinic offers All-on-4 dental implants. This fixed solution uses 4, 5, or 6 implants based on a 3D CT scan. The process typically requires two visits to Medellín, scheduled about six months apart.

An in-house dental lab in the same building supports all restorative work. This allows faster adjustments and direct coordination between dentist and technician. The clinic uses specific materials for long-term durability:

• ZirCAD Prime zirconia for monolithic crowns and bridges
• IPS e.max lithium disilicate porcelain for veneers
• Monolithic zirconia carved from a single solid block

Dr. Paulina Gutiérrez leads the cosmetic team, focusing on veneers and smile design. She qualified at CES University and holds a diploma in advanced aesthetics from the University of Cartagena.

Periodontics and Oral Health

Dr. Ana Restrepo manages the periodontal foundation for all cosmetic and restorative cases. She has over 10 years of clinical experience in periodontics and bone health. This focus helps keep veneers and implants stable over time.

When bone loss is present, the clinic performs bone grafting and sinus-lifting to prepare the jaw for implants. Treatment planning includes a detailed bite assessment to prevent damage to new restorations.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technology

Digital workflows guide aesthetic planning and surgical placements. Digital Smile Design (DSD) lets patients preview results and select specific tooth shades. Diagnostic tools include:

• Cone Beam CT (CBCT) for 3D bone imaging
• Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models
• Florida Probe for precise periodontal measurement
• Panoramic X-ray and mandibular CT scans

The clinic uses CAD/CAM milling to create crowns and bridges on-site. This technology carves restorations from solid ceramic or zirconia blocks, so the fit is precise.

International Patient Services

The clinic has a bilingual concierge and clinical team fluent in English and Spanish. Coordination begins with a free 30-minute virtual consultation via WhatsApp. Patients receive a written treatment plan and final quote within 24 hours.

Logistical support fits dental tourism travel schedules. Services for international patients include:

• Airport pickup and return transfers
• Coordination with a nearby 4-star hotel
• Private driver for the first clinic visit
• Ongoing WhatsApp support after returning home

For implant and veneer packages, these logistics are typically included in the price. The clinic provides written follow-up instructions and schedules digital check-ins at one week, one month, and six months after treatment.
