We use the same cosmetic dentistry materials as dentists back home
One concern people have when looking to getting dental work abroad is the quality of materials. How will I know that the implant that you use is actually made of 100% titanium?
You can find some really cheap implants in places like China or India but the quality is just that, cheap. You’ll end up paying for it in the long run with all the extra care you’ll have to put into your mouth. You know the saying, you get what you pay for.
Rest easy knowing that we use the exact same manufacturers as dentists back home. We proudly use top American and European manufacturers BioHorizons, Mircodent, and Zimmer. Your teeth deserve the best and the best is what you shall have. It’s the same materials but 70% off the price.
Dr. Julio Oliver specializes in cosmetic dental work
Okay fine, the materials are top quality but what about the dentist? Does he know what he’s doing? The answer is a resounding yes. He’s been practicing for 18+ years, with a specialty in implants and other cosmetic procedures.

They are as following: Implantology (Universidad Veracruzana of México), Endodoncia (University of Cartagena), and Oral Rehabilitation and Clinical Biochemistry, Masters (University of Cartagena).
