Technology & Facilities
The practice of Dr. Nelson Rodriguez Rodriguez, DMD in Bayamón employs the diagnostic and clinical tools appropriate for a specialist prosthodontic office operating within the US regulatory framework of Puerto Rico. Digital radiography — including periapical, panoramic, and when indicated, cone-beam CT imaging — provides the three-dimensional anatomical data required for precise implant planning and prosthetic design. Intra-oral scanning technology enables accurate digital impressions, eliminating the discomfort of traditional impression trays and improving the fit accuracy of crowns, bridges, and prostheses. Shade-matching systems ensure that ceramic restorations are fabricated with precise color characterization, integrating seamlessly with the patient's natural dentition. Prosthetic components are sourced from established, quality-assured dental laboratories, and the practice's sterilization and infection control protocols comply with ADA and CDC standards applicable throughout Puerto Rico and the broader United States.
