Zéntica Odontología (Zéntica Dental Studio)

Zéntica Odontología, also known as Zéntica Dental Studio, is a private dental clinic in Medellín's Laureles neighborhood. It operates as a single-doctor practice focused on aesthetic dentistry, orthodontics, and oral health maintenance. The clinic treats both adults and children, with a detail-driven approach to smile transformations and preventive care.

Specialties and Aesthetic Procedures

Zéntica focuses on smile design, offering personalized projects in ceramic and resin materials. Every aesthetic case begins with a planning phase before any dental work starts. Specialists use two primary methods for restorations:

• Ceramic smile design – high durability and strength with minimal pigmentation over time.
• Micro smile design in resin – layer-by-layer stratification with attention to texture and translucency to mimic natural enamel.

The clinic also provides laser teeth whitening. This process uses a specific gel activated by laser to speed up results. A dental professional supervises every minute to protect the tooth enamel. After treatment, the team creates a maintenance plan to help patients keep their results longer.

Orthodontics and Pediatric Care

The orthodontic department treats complex alignment issues. This includes cases where patients cannot bite correctly with their front teeth. Treatment options include traditional brackets and Invisalign systems. For patients concerned about timelines, the clinic provides an estimated treatment duration starting from the third appointment.

Pediatric dentistry is a core service at Zéntica. The clinic uses a no-pressure setting to help children who feel fear or anxiety. Services for younger patients include:

• Preventive pediatric dental visits
• Braces for children
• Twin block braces for jaw alignment
• Educational guidance on dental hygiene

Specialists also perform periodontic treatments to manage gum health. These include scaling and root planing – a deep cleaning to remove plaque below the gum line.

Medical Team and Expertise

The clinical team includes Dr. Pedro Zalec and Dr. Daniela Pavas. Dr. Zalec has over 15 years of experience in orthodontics and dental aesthetics. Dr. Pavas has practiced for around 13 years in the same specialties. Both doctors continue their education to refine techniques in resin stratification and smile design.

The clinic regularly treats international patients who travel to Medellín for dental work. Many come based on recommendations for aesthetic outcomes.

Technology and Maintenance

Zéntica uses laser platforms for accelerated whitening and professional scaling tools for deep cleanings. Results depend on supervised treatment and high-quality materials. Beyond active treatment, the clinic serves as a center for oral health education. It provides regular guidance on cleaning and long-term enamel protection.
