General Dentistry in Santo Domingo
The general dentist is the first professional to evaluate the patient. During the initial consultation, a comprehensive diagnosis is performed with the support of dental X-rays, assessing the teeth and oral structures, treating primary problems and, if necessary, referring the patient to the appropriate specialist.
Generally, after the diagnosis, a dental prophylaxis or professional cleaning is performed, as long as the patient does not present severe periodontal disease or pain that prevents any manipulation.
In addition, the general dentist is responsible for treating dental caries by removing the affected tissue and restoring the tooth with composite resin. When the decay affects the nerve, root canal treatment becomes necessary.

Introduction to pediatric dentistry
Dental reconstruction with crowns or dental inlays assisted by CAD/CAM technology.
Dental Global offers its patients the option of having dental inlays and onlays, as well as crowns, placed in a single appointment as part of their treatment. This is made possible by the innovative CEREC® CAD/CAM system, backed by over 250 scientific studies that have demonstrated the safety and exceptional durability of restorations made with this technique.
With CEREC, our patients will enjoy the advantages of taking digital impressions directly in the mouth, eliminating the need for cumbersome silicone-based impression materials. Once the digital impression is taken, the digital design of the future restoration is created, and finally, a milling machine mechanically fabricates the restoration from blocks of ceramic materials.
