I'm in a lot of pain. Can you see me today?
Message us on WhatsApp, tell us what you're feeling, and we'll give you the earliest appointment we have. Pain isn't something you put off.
Does a root canal hurt?
It's the opposite of what everyone thinks: the root canal is what takes away the pain. It's done under anesthesia and you won't feel the procedure.
Is it better to pull the tooth or get a root canal?
If it can be saved, we save it: your own tooth is better than any replacement. We only pull it when there's no way left to keep it, and at your assessment we explain why.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need: a root canal on a tooth with one root isn't the same as one with three, and a wisdom tooth that has grown in isn't the same as a buried one. You leave your assessment with the exact price for your case. Payment options are available.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling is normal for the first few days and depends on how complicated the case was. You leave with clear instructions to bring it down as fast as possible.
Can I work or go to class the next day?
Many patients can. It depends on your case and how much work is involved. The doctor tells you what to expect before treating you, not after.
Can I have all four wisdom teeth out at once?
In some cases yes, and it makes sense, because you only recover once. In others it's better in stages. It's decided by looking at your X-rays.
What can I eat afterward?
For the first few days, soft, cold foods. We give you the full list in writing so you don't have to guess.
Do I need an X-ray?
Yes, to see what's happening inside the tooth and the bone. If you don't have one, at your assessment we'll tell you which one you need.
Will the doctor treat me herself?
Yes. Assessment, treatment and follow-ups: always with Dr. Adriana.
Do you see patients from all over Bogotá?
Yes. The office is in north Bogotá, steps from Calle 116 (Santa Bárbara area), easy to reach from anywhere in the city.
