This evolution responds to a clear demand: patients want to look good without losing their identity. Here we will explore how it is achieved, what materials and technologies make it possible and why Medellín is positioned as a leading destination in dental tourism.
Cultural Change: Authenticity on Perfection
For years, dental aesthetics focused on extremely white and symmetrical teeth, which were unnatural. Today, beauty is redefined towards the harmonious and personalized.
