How Long It Takes, and How Many Trips
Three of the four options are one trip. Implants are two, and the gap between them is months, not days. Better you know that now than after you've booked a flight.
Why Implants Take Two Trips
An implant is a titanium post that your jawbone has to grow around before it can hold anything. That takes months, and no dentist anywhere can shorten it by much. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a shortcut you don't want.
Scan, planning and surgery, then a few days here so Dr. Lince can check how you're healing before you fly home.
You're back at your life, not in a dental chair. What you wear during this stretch is part of the plan and we agree it before you book. Dr. Lince stays reachable on WhatsApp the whole time.
Impressions, try-ins and the final fit. Two weeks is what it takes to get the bite right rather than close enough.
Two weeks in a city you don't know is the part people underestimate. Hotel at a rate we hold with NH Cali, airport transfers both ways, and appointments built around your flights rather than the other way round. It's all set out on the dental tourism page.
Why This Kind of Case Belongs to a Specialist
Replacing one tooth is a question of matching what's already there. Rebuilding most of a mouth is a different problem, because once enough teeth are gone, the reference is gone with them. Someone has to decide, from scratch, how high your bite closes and where every tooth sits in relation to the rest.
Get that wrong and the crowns still look fine in the mirror. What you feel is jaw muscles that ache by the afternoon, porcelain that chips sooner than it should, and a bite you never quite stop noticing. And it isn't fixed by redoing one piece. It's fixed by redoing the plan, which means redoing the work.
That decision — how a whole mouth should fit together — is the thing oral rehabilitation exists to study. It's a postgraduate specialty, and it's what Dr. Lince spent hers on.
In the U.S. you'd be looking for a prosthodontist. That's the closest equivalent to Dr. Lince's training: a postgraduate specialty in oral rehabilitation, earned in Colombia rather than through an American board. The training is the same discipline; the certifying body isn't the same one. You'd find that out eventually, so we'd rather you hear it from us.
If you're about to hand someone your whole mouth, you should know who they are first. Her training, her registry number and the cases she takes on are all set out in full.

Two cases Dr. Lince planned and carried out in Cali. One of them flew in from Chicago and filmed this on the day his teeth went in.

Individual results vary by patient.
"I'm very, very happy. My wife's very happy. … They look good, they feel great, and I'll be back in six months for my final adjustment. … It was worth the trip of coming here."
Replacing a prosthesis that had run its course
An old removable prosthesis swapped for a fixed zirconia bridge. Nothing comes out at night any more.
Individual results vary by patient.
These are two cases, not a promise. Both patients gave permission to publish their photos. What's possible in your mouth depends on your bone, your gums and what's left to build on, and the only honest way to find out is to have Dr. Lince look at a scan.

Where You'll Stay While the Work Gets Done
A whitening appointment is an afternoon. This is weeks, and for implants it's two separate trips. Booking that yourself, in a city you've never been to, in a language you may not speak, is the part that stops people. So we handle it.
The hotel's own rate is $95. Ours comes from a standing agreement with them, breakfast included, and over a two-week stay that gap stops being a detail.

You tell us your dates, we build the schedule backwards from them. Lab work and try-ins get planned so nothing waits on a day you're already paying for.
If your case needs implants, you'll come back about six months later. Same hotel rate, same transfers, and by then you know the city.
Hotel, transfers, what the city is actually like and what it costs before any treatment — it's all laid out on one page.
See How the Trip Works →Not Sure Which Option Is Yours? Find Out in 24 Hours
Send 5 photos and an X-ray through WhatsApp. Dr. Lince reviews your case herself, tells you which of the four options actually fits — often it isn't the one patients arrive asking for — and sends back how many trips it takes and what it costs. Free, within 24 hours.
What to Send
Good light, clear focus. Nothing fancy — these are to see what's there, not to look good.
No X-ray yet? Send the photos anyway and Dr. Lince will tell you what she can. But for implants, how much bone you have decides what's possible, and that's the one thing a photo can't show. Any dentist can take a panoramic for you, and most will hand you the file.

More Treatments with Dr. Stefany Lince
A full rebuild isn't the only way in. Some cases turn out to need less than the patient expected, and these are the pieces a reconstruction is usually built from.
Veneers & Smile Design
If your teeth are sound, your bite works and what bothers you is how they look, you may not need a reconstruction at all. Veneers change shape, color and proportion, and Dr. Lince designs them tooth by tooth, in porcelain or composite.
