PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dr. Rafael Mejicano Soto, DDS is well-known throughout Central and South America as a ground-breaking leader in the optimization of dental quality and efficiency for patients from all over the world. With the latest technology, cutting-edge materials, outstanding medical talent, and a wonderfully comforting sense of humor, Dr. Mejicano integrates all his resources to provide the finest quality results that his patients can depend on for years to come.

With digital scanners, computers and lasers doing the production work, Dr. Mejicano can be more collaborative and artistic, inviting the patient to be the designer of his or her own natural, healthy, and confident smile. Dr. Mejicano uses state-of-the-art guided surgery software to plan extractions, bone grafts, implant placement and peri-gingival treatment with maximum precision to assure absolute accuracy and security.

Centro Dental is a showcase dental clinic, encompassing three levels in the west wing of Hospital Multimedica in zona 15 of Guatemala City, one of the best-equipped dental centers in Guatemala. Ten collaborating dental specialists have treated 50,000 successful patients since opening in the early 1990’s. Digital diagnostics, futuristic operating rooms, sterilization protocols, and clinical instrumentation regularly meet or surpass the highest global quality standards. In addition, their proprietary dental laboratory utilizes materials and techniques that were just perfected and released from developmental research labs in recent years.

Dr. Mejicano has been a valuable contributor to the success of Centro Dental for over twenty years, with more than 2500 successful implant placements. Dental crowns and bridges can be provided in just one day using a digital oral scanner and CAD/CAM computer-assisted design. Periodontal and implant surgery is precisely planned using quick and easy x-ray and cone beam tomography diagnostic results, on-site in the same clinic.

When your dentist diagnoses apnea or snoring problems, he can usually diminish the problem by 20-30% with an inexpensive maxillofacial appliance. The two-week therapy could work wonders to help you sleep better and avoid surgery.

Inlays, veneers, crowns, and fillings are restorations that cover different areas of the tooth, usually repairing a damaged section, and are used for a variety of reasons. They could be fillings made of natural-colored white resin, or the far more durable zirconia. When properly cared for, these dental restorations can last for decades.

It is the goal of every dental specialist to preserve natural tooth structure and maintain long-term oral health. Dr. Mejicano says, “I measure my success by the patient’s level of satisfaction. With all the latest technology at my fingertips, in my clinic, I can achieve the results we want quickly and beautifully.”

Dr. Mejicano is dedicated to sharing the wisdom of his training and knowledge with the forty various employees of Centro Dental. Inspiring higher achievement in others is the sign of a truly effective and compassionate leader.

He has donated his medical talent and genuine kindness to charities associated with the International Rotary Clubs, like the remote dental clinic at Ak’Tenamit in Rio Dulce. According to their website, “Ak’ Tenamit’s floating dental clinic makes free dental care available in the Rio Dulce region. The clinic is led by a Q’eqchi’ dental technician and supported by foreign volunteers. Our dental program treats patients from Ak’ Tenamit’s headquarters and travels to visit 18 Q’eqchi communities along the Río Dulce River system. The dental clinic treats 1500 patients annually, with regular cleanings, cavity fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures, and crowns.

For the comfort and trust of international patients, Dr. Mejicano speaks English, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.

REVIEWS FROM PATIENTS

Dear Dr. Mejicano and the Doctors of Centro Dental: From the first appointment, you gave me very professional treatment, and the service was excellent. I felt like I was with family, all very friendly. Dr. Rafael Mejicano Soto is a very friendly person, very cheerful and always smiling. At the end of my treatment everything was totally professional. Also, his assistant Ruth and all the team in general are very professional, very kind.

I have had experience in clinics in Los Angeles California and it has been the same excellent quality of service, just like I received here in Guatemala. Judging from the experience I had here with you, I can recommend Dr. Mejicano to other families as a clinic that is reliable and able to schedule your appointments right away whenever it is most convenient for you.

After all the treatment was done – extraction, placement of the crowns and the skin graft of my gums – I feel completely satisfied and comfortable. Thanks so much for your kind attention.

Domingo Gonzalez, Guatemala

I’m writing today to give you thanks from the bottom of my heart. My eyes fill with tears as I express my gratitude, because only God knows what happened and what this wonderful recovery means to me. I know that you suffered with me because you are such a good person. This is why, my dear Rafael, today and forever I give you many, many thanks. I will keep a special place for you in my heart and my prayers, and my gratitude will be with you always.

Xiomara Sikaffy, Dominican Republic

After several months of bad procedures, I decided to go to Centro Dental, where they did first class diagnostic and specialized treatments. Under Dr. Mejicanos’ care and attention, I am getting much better and able to put the pain behind me.
