Odonto Advance Panamá

Odonto Advance is a highly specialized endodontic clinic located across from Hospital Chiriquí in David. Founded with the goal of bringing precision root canal treatment to western Panama, it operates as the first dental microscopy center in the entire country.

Microscope-Assisted Endodontics: Every procedure is performed using a surgical optical microscope, allowing the specialist to see up to 400 times more clearly than with the naked eye — significantly improving accuracy and treatment success rates.

Complex Root Canal Treatment: The clinic handles difficult cases that other clinics can’t — calcified canals, fractured instruments, perforations, and internal resorptions that require advanced tools and training.

Endodontic Retreatment: If a previous root canal has failed or is causing ongoing pain, the clinic specializes in reopening, cleaning, and re-treating those cases with precision instruments.

Apical Surgery: For persistent infections near the root tip that don’t resolve with standard treatment, the clinic performs apicoectomy procedures to save the tooth.

Internationally Trained Specialist: Dr. Juan Carlos Ortiz Hugues completed his endodontic specialty in Argentina and is a member of the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and Vice President of the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry (AMED).

3D Digital Diagnostics: 3D imaging and digital radiography support precise diagnosis before any treatment begins, improving predictability and reducing guesswork.

For expats in Chiriquí dealing with tooth pain, a failed root canal, or a complex dental issue, Odonto Advance is the region’s top referral clinic for advanced endodontics. The clinic is fully wheelchair accessible and accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments.
