PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dr. Juan Francisco Alfaro is a master at saving diseased or deteriorating teeth, because it is the goal of all dentists to keep natural teeth in a healthy state for as long as possible. At the Alfa Dental Clinic in Antigua, Dr. Alfaro has high-tech 3D digital diagnostics to assess the damage and make a plan to maintain the solid structure of your tooth or restore your teeth with gorgeous new implants and crowns or bridges.

Diagnosing tooth pain can be difficult, as it might stem from various causes. Dr. Alfaro has over 30 years of clinical practice with more than 10,000 root canal procedures and 15,000 crowns and restorations. Also, after several years of academic and clinical research in Central America, Mexico, and the United States, he is generally regarded as the expert in finding the cause of your pain, understanding the anatomy of your teeth, and planning for the treatment you need.

ALFA Dental has a complete radiographic center with resources and capabilities. Specialized microscope imaging assures that your root canal procedure is performed with laser precision, minimal discomfort, and long-lasting reliable results. Your endodontist is the specialist who can remove decay inside the tooth, provide root canal therapy, repair traumatic injury, and salvage your oral health beyond the ability of most ordinary dentists.

Dr. Alfaro is a certified provider of Sheer White brand tooth whitening system and Invisalign brand tooth alignment. His surgical skills guarantee that you have implants correctly placed with precision accuracy. If you or your child might suffer from anxiety, a specialist in sedation for dental procedures is available to oversee your comfort and safety.

If you were a patient of Dr. Alfaro’s clinic in Guatemala City, your records are still here at the Antigua location. For the patient’s confidence and for diagnostic accuracy, Alfa Dental keeps a precisely detailed dental history for all their patients. Did you forget your last cleaning or when your crown was placed? Let’s compare today’s panoramic x-ray to the one from two years ago. No worries, we have all your records from the beginning right here at hand, easy to review together with you.

Many patients visit Dr. Alfaro to perform endodontic surgery to repair problems that were either caused by or not fixed properly by other dentists.

  • Apical surgeryis required when a lesion has grown around the bottom tip of the tooth root. It prevents bacteria in the canal from leaking into the surrounding tissue. Dr. Alfaro performs this microscopic surgery in the Alfa Dental clinic in Antigua.
  • Extrusion for dental traumais the most effective way to save fractured front teeth. A tooth that is broken under the gum line is more of a challenge for your endodontist, involving gingival inflammation, formation of a bacterial pocket, or bone structure changes.
  • Removal of instruments. Sometimes when Dr. Alfaro performs an ordinary root canal procedure, the cause of the pain and inflammation is obvious: broken bits of an instrument left behind by a previous dentist that need to be carefully dislodged and removed.
  • Pulp Regenerationis used to restore diseased or damaged dental pulp and to assist in healing with a biodegradable substance that will encourage the tooth to repair itself.

The doctor says, “Our most successful patients are those who look for the highest quality and trust that they will get it with us. Working with Guatemala Medical Travel we know the advocates are concerned for the well-being of the patients – before arrival to the clinic, and for their recovery. Dedicated post-op care yields better results for the patients, and for us.”

Dr. Juan Francisco Alfaro is well known for his honesty and professional ethics, and we can see it in his track-record and patient testimonials. He speaks to patients truthfully about his recommendations for the most effective treatment plan, plus there are always alternative options, open for discussion.

He says, “I’m always looking for the best solution for the patient and I treat every person the way I would like to be treated, like a guest and a new friend.” What a relief that your oral health and dazzling smile will be corrected the right way, the first time, with Dr. Alfaro.

REVIEWS FROM PATIENTS

Superb care and overall fantastic experience. From my initial outreach to a fairly involved work-up, Dr. Alfaro provided superb care. I received personal service from excellently trained and very caring people. I feel very fortunate to have found him and cannot recommend him and his center more highly.  This is my new ‘go-to’ clinic for dental care.

Maria from Florida

Drs. Contreras and Alfaro of Dental Design worked together to do a large amount of dental work in only four days. They were kind and concerned, and their coordination and communication were excellent – I even had instructions to call his mobile phone if I had any questions or problems. The doctors’ explanations of the treatment plan were detailed and clear.

Working with Guatemala Medical Travel makes getting medical services at a reasonable price uncomplicated and much less stressful. The estimate for dental care was approximately one third or less of US prices, but the quality and efficiency is much better.

Just wanted to thank you again for all you do! We had a really great experience with everything in Guatemala!  I have referred Dr. Alfaro to several people already, including my parents, who just may be coming for periodontal cleanings. After having the first phase of the implants, I’m feeling great. I’m having minimal pain but under control with meds and I slept fine. I’m doing great – All in all, everything is better than expected!
