With over 30 years of experience and the recognition of the Mexican Dentistry Association (Colegio Nacional de Cirujanos Dentistas) Dr. Roberto J. Altamira is today one of the leading dentists in his field. He has been practicing fine dentistry in Cabo since 1983 and maintains his practice at the highest level in today’s competitive world by keeping abreast with the latest in dental technology.

Doctor Altamira’s work in procedures like root canals, emergencies, surgical  extractions and implant placement has the recognition of many satisfied patients who have had extensive prosthetic and cosmetic dentistry.

During the last 10 years Dr. Altamira became involved in rehabilitation with dental implants ( dental implants are titanium fixtures that replace missing teeth, implants are placed in the bone replacing the teeth’s roots ) This technology allows the dentist to replace one, several or even all of the teeth when they are lost.

These procedures normally take months of rehabilitation for the patient , but in the latest years the advances in this field have been staggering.

The Nobel Guide System®, developed by Nobel Biocare, is a computer guided program that allows the dentist to see the patient’s bone ( maxilla or mandible ) in a three dimensional way. It enables the dentist to view all the anatomical structures involved in the treatment such as nerves, sinus cavities, etc. prior to surgery.

This unique technology makes implat placement possible with absolute precision, it avoids the need for incisions or flaps to uncover the bone, stitching of soft tissues also becomes unnecessary after the procedure and allows teeth placement  the same day the surgery is performed. Thus making the procedure safe and virtually painless for the patient. 

Dr. Altamira also uses digital X-Ray viewers, which not only save chair time for the patient but also reduces Rx radiation by about 90%.

State of the art computerized technology is now available in Dr. Altamira’s office.
