San José, Costa Rica. February, 2019.

The OMI Center office: for minimally invasive dentistry, is located on the second floor of the Clínica Bíblica Hospital in Santa Ana. It aims to provide the patient with all the options available in the area of dentistry, ranging from dental cleaning to surgery, with the intention of offering another perspective to the patient’s dental health.

Its philosophy is based on maintaining good oral health, and an optimal conservation of the dental pieces. Minimally invasive dentistry covers not only dental procedures, it also tries to avoid the patient from being subjected to strict and rigorous processes for their teeth, opting for alternatives to save the teeth before performing more extreme processes, unless these are strictly required.

It is about offering alternatives with conservative options. Dr. Irene Valerio, dentist, indicated that there are cases where there is no chemical or biological material that supplies the dental enamel, tissues, dentine or pulp, since tooth formation is very unique.

The patient will always decide on the option that most suits him, however, he will receive an educational and preventive professional explanation to know the possibilities of giving greater durability to the tooth. As Dr. Valerio commented, communication with the patient is sought but not an invasion of his/her decisions: "it is to make patients realize that we can save the tooth in a different way".

The conservative line of the OMI Center: minimally invasive dentistry goes hand in hand with the technology for the early diagnosis of ailments and problems in teeth. It offers digital radiography, magnifying glasses that allow the user to see the misalignments, cavities and stains that a dental piece may have up to three times more clearly.

The office has specialists in the main areas of dentistry, such as:

Pediatric dentistry (specialist in children), endodontics (specialist in nerves), periodontics (specialists in gums). In addition, specialists in dental implants (prosthodontics), maxillofacial surgeon and also in aesthetic dentistry. All of these specialists are highly qualified and have the same philosophy; the conservation of the dental organ and avoiding aggressive treatments.

It also has special equipment, such as the exclusive dental chairs for people with special limitations, which are more comfortable; and the office is characterized by its white color, to emphasize preservation and a quiet environment for the patient.

The OMI Center, in addition to its range of services also offers working with sports splints, which are exclusive and tailored for those people who practice contact sports, such as football, karate, among others, and thus avoid any future injuries that could compromise their teeth.
