Clinica Drdiente is a cosmetic dentistry clinic specializing in smile design and digital dental restorations, located on Avenida Presidente Masaryk in the Polanco district of Mexico City, Mexico. Founded in 2024 by Dr. Carlos Ariza, a dentist with advanced training from UCLA and a specialization in aesthetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation, the clinic has quickly established itself as a reference for cosmetic dental care in Mexico City. Clinica Drdiente holds COFEPRIS advertising certification (permit 2409132002A00145) and operates its own in-house dental laboratory, Drdiente Lab, for precision fabrication of veneers, crowns, and prosthetics.
Why Choose Clinica Drdiente
Clinica Drdiente is built specifically around smile design and aesthetic dentistry, making it a specialist practice rather than a general clinic. Every smile makeover begins with a comprehensive facial analysis, digital planning, and aesthetic mock-up testing before any clinical work starts, allowing patients to preview and approve their results in advance. The clinic's in-house laboratory, Drdiente Lab, uses German CEREC technology (Primemill system) to fabricate porcelain veneers, crowns, and prosthetics on-site, enabling same-day restorations with precision fit that eliminates the delays and inconsistencies of outsourced lab work. Dr. Ariza's approach emphasizes minimally invasive techniques that preserve natural tooth structure while achieving proportional, harmonious results tailored to each patient's facial features. The clinic's Polanco location on Avenida Masaryk, one of Mexico City's most prestigious addresses, reflects its positioning as a premium aesthetic dentistry destination.
Treatments and Specialties
Digital smile design is the clinic's flagship service, combining facial proportion analysis, digital planning software, and aesthetic trial runs to create personalized smile transformations. Porcelain veneers are crafted in premium materials that replicate natural enamel translucency, designed and fabricated on-site for precise fit and color matching. Same-day CEREC restorations allow crowns, veneers, and prosthetics to be milled and placed in a single appointment. Guided implant surgery uses digital planning for millimeter-precise implant placement with minimized recovery time. Hybrid prostheses restore full-arch function and aesthetics for patients with significant tooth loss. Invisible orthodontics (clear aligners) provides discreet teeth straightening compatible with smile design treatments. Additional services include endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, medical aesthetics, and general dentistry.
