"What I can say about this technology done by Dr. Sanmartín, is that it is excellent, very comfortable and fast. Despite my doubts in the use of a dental implant and in the implementation of new implant technologies, I cannot deny that the outcome of this system is the best. The effects afterwards are practically none, to the point where I almost did not feel any type of ache. The results after having the implant placed, are satisfactory, so much in regard to my oral health, as to my personal being, since I consider of great importance the fact that a person's smile and more even so that of a professional, because is part of this presentation card. I want to thank Dr. Sanmartín, his office and all his staff for all the details, the cordiality and the fine manners and above all, for the work done, and which exceeded the expectations that I had about this type of technology."

"In Clínica Dental Sanmartín I had an Implant placed, which has made me feel very good; it did not caused me discomfort neither at the beginning nor up to this moment. It was done in one appointment and whoever needs implants, I will highly recommend it, since it is the best treatment available. It was not painful; it was fast and has good esthetics.

"My name is Víctor Saavedra, and by means of this note I give testimony that the 4 Immediate Function Implants OnePiece placed by Dr. Sanmartín has been something really wonderful. The implants were done with no pain, I have no discomfort. I feel good, can eat well and I can floss and use the toothbrush normally" Víctor Saavedra
"After several years of wearing dentures and several consultations on possibly receiving dental implants, I always decided not to go forth with the procedure since it required undergoing general anesthesia, which I was not totally comfortable with.
Once I read an article on the Mini Implant System by Clínica Dental Sanmartín, which provided detailed information and illustrations of the procedure, I learned that everything was performed using local anesthesia.
After analyzing the procedure, I decided to move forward and after several short sessions I left the clinic with my implants and fixed prosthesis.
I am happy with this decision. This has given me a better quality of life, allowing me not to worry about my dentures falling out at the most inappropriate moments, to feel the satisfaction of biting and chewing food that I was once unable to bite, to present a better smile and to feel that I have normal teeth again.
My thanks to Dr. Juan B. Sanmartín and the entire support staff, who with their service made me feel like a member of this great family." Dr. Clemente P. Garnes
