Dentist specialized in Maxillofacial Prosthodontics, oral implantology and high-complexity rehabilitation. At AM he resolves full-arch implant cases: the part of treatment where surgery and prosthetics must be planned as one, because the smile that is later screwed into place depends on where each implant sits. He has been training dentists in implantology for over 10 years.

Odontóloga (dentist — Argentine dental degree)Universidad Argentina John F. KennedyFull CV
Dentist with over 5 years of training in facial aesthetics, dedicated to injectable treatments. At AM she works on smile design alongside orofacial harmonization: the smile is planned by looking at the whole face —lips, midface, proportions— rather than a single feature. The criterion is the same in both areas: a result that looks natural and balanced.

Dentistry & Management
Dra. Claudia Hernández
Dentist & Practice Direction
A dentist, and the head of AM's administrative area. She runs the practice and assists the team chairside: the degree is in the operatory, not only in the schedule. Clinical training in general dentistry, endodontics and assistance in surgery and implantology.
Odontóloga (dentist — Venezuelan dental degree)Universidad José Antonio Páez — Valencia, VenezuelaFull CV
Dentist with experience in general care, implant-supported restoration and assistance in high-complexity treatments: maxillofacial surgery, implantology, endodontics and rehabilitation. At AM she leads the administrative area and runs the practice, but she never left the operatory: she assists the team chairside and handles the small adjustments of the day to day. That is why the management side works the way it does —someone who has assembled implant kits knows what a schedule built around those treatments actually needs.
