Introduction

Jose Cruz Ruiz Villandiego Dr Ruiz Villandiego Servicio de Odontologia y Estomatologia Hospital Quiron Donostia San Sebastian 1The mouth and the teeth are the first parts of the children to make contact with the world, and will still be fundamental for the rest of our lives. Dental or mouth mucosa problems are linked to many illnesses and also to feelings of pleasure, well-being and beauty.

Dentistry is much more than cavities. As you work in this field, you start discovering new areas of specialization, and what is more, you cannot rely on what you learned at Odontology school only and need to update your knowledge in science and technology.

This principle is what guides our working style, together with a devotion to providing the best quality of life to the people around us, to the best of our ability, through the means of a perfect and healthy mouth.

How We Operate

A perfect Dental Clinic in a Hospital

We constitute the Dentistry and Stomatology Service in the Day Hospital Quirón Donostia (associated with Policlínica Gipuzkoa).
We possess all the features and technological innovations of a high-profile dental clinic and the advantages of a hospital devoted to offering quality, trust and a complete service to its patients.

As a Dental Clinic

We specialize in Conservative Dentistry (cosmetic and functional) with the best materials and cutting-edge technology (Diode Laser, ErbiumCr Laser, Digital Radiology, Intraoral Cameras, Dental Magnifying Glasses and Microscopes, Scanners for Oral Impressions, Conscious Sedation, etc.). We also practice Orthodoncy, Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Dental Implants in all their variants (inmediate after extractions or delayed, with inmediate prothesis, noninvasive guided surgery). We work with the best international prosthetic technicians to produce the most aesthetically pleasing and functional fixed prothesis.

As a Department in a Hospital

Working together with other departments allows us to cover the most complex treatments on the most complex patients, such as the medically compromised (cardiacs, anticoagulated, hepatics, diabetics, inmunosupressed, Alzheimer, disabilities etc.) with the comfort and assurance they require.

allowing us to offer the complete treatment in a single session
and treat people (CHILDREN OR ADULTS) with odontophobia.

Facilities

Our surgery is located at the Hospital Quirón of San Sebastián, an avant-garde centre at the top of the different medical fields and the only one in the Basque Country with an Odontology and Stomatology Service.

We have very efficient facilities equipped with all the latest technology in the Dental field, together with the advantages of a Hospital (Medical Services of different Specialties, Laboratories, Radiology, Surgery, Emergencies, qualified Nursing staff, Assistants and Guards).

This allows us to offer a more complete and differentiated service, which makes our centre to be regarded as a reference to other Dental Clinics on many specific treatments.

The latest and most exclusive technology for dental treatment and mouth go hand-to-hand in this service that aims to invoke absolute comfort for the patient. From the reception with its “chill out” or “romantic” terrace to the smaller and cozy waiting room, patients start to experience a different perception of what is expected from “the dentist”. The access to the clinics area surprises patients one more time with its armchairs, screens and machines that projects us to the last technological frontier of Odontology.

We take care of our patients by providing them with a comfortable and pleasant environment.
