Wong Digital Dentistry

At Wong Digital Dentistry, we combine advanced technology with a welcoming patient-centered approach. We are the only dental clinic in Costa Rica to perform bone regeneration using titanium meshes and to offer both traditional and fully customized dental implants, automatically adapted to each patients unique bone structure when required.

We are also the only center in the country capable of treating patients with severe bone resorption, where there is no remaining bone to place conventional implants. Through our customized titanium implants, we eliminate the need for bone grafts by designing and fabricating an implant that perfectly fits each patient’s anatomy.

One of our greatest strengths is our immediate loading protocol, which allows us to perform the entire surgical procedure, implant placement, and provisional prosthesis delivery all in the same day. The temporary prosthesis is designed according to the patients individual smile, so they leave our clinic with teeth from day one, whether using customized or conventional implants.

Our clinic includes a fully equipped digital dental laboratory, featuring 3D printers, milling machines, intraoral and facial scanners and CBCT imaging technology for highly accurate diagnostics. Thanks to our digital workflows and guided-surgery protocols, we provide treatments that are more comfortable, efficient, and predictable.

Led by Dr Sakim Wong Deza, our bilingual team supports every patient throughout their entire journey – from the initial virtual consultation to full recovery. At Wong Digital Dentistry, we bring together expertise, innovation, and genuine hospitality to deliver exceptional results and a truly positive dental experience in Costa Rica.

Dr Alejandro Aguilar Zamora

My practice as a general surgeon includes a wide range of organs and diseases, the majority in the abdominal cavity and through minimally invasive procedures, thyroid, neck, hernia repair surgery and ano-rectal procedures. Most of the procedures can be done under minimally invasive techniques, also called laparoscopic surgery, which reduces considerably pain and discomfort after surgery, reduces the risk of surgical site infection and overall is better for the patient.

I’ve worked for the Social Security System in Costa Rica for 23 years, part of those as a general physician, part as a surgery resident and 14 as a trained general surgeon. This long period in Social Security has given me a tremendous expertise in surgery, especially in very complex cases. I like to keep close contact with my patients, before and after every procedure, communication is the key to better outcomes in surgery.
