Proud to be a member of the American Dental Association!

We recognize that continued public trust in our clinic, and the dental profession as a whole, is based on the commitment of each member of our team to highest ethical standards of conduct.

As a member of the American Dental Association (ADA) the team at Da Vinci’s Dental Care voluntarily agree to abide by the ADA principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct as a condition of membership in the Association. The ADA Code has three main components: The Principles of Ethics, the Code of Professional Conduct and the Advisory Opinions.

The Principles of Ethics are the aspirational goals of the profession. They provide guidance and offer justification for the Code of Professional Conduct and the Advisory Opinions. There are five fundamental principles that form the foundation of the ADA Code: patient autonomy, no maleficence, beneficence, justice and veracity. Principles can overlap each other as well as compete with each other for priority. More than one principle can justify a given element of the Code of Professional Conduct. Principles may at times need to be balanced against each other, but, otherwise, they are the profession’s firm guideposts.

The Code of Professional Conduct is an expression of specific types of conduct that are either required or prohibited. The Code of Professional Conduct is a product of the ADA’s legislative system. All elements of the Code of Professional Conduct result from resolutions that are adopted by the ADA’s House of Delegates. The Code of Professional Conduct is binding on members of the ADA, and violations may result in disciplinary action.

The Advisory Opinions are interpretations that apply the Code of Professional Conduct to specific fact situations. They are adopted by the ADA’s Council on Ethics, Bylaws and Judicial Affairs to provide guidance to the membership on how the Council might interpret the Code of Professional Conduct in a disciplinary proceeding.

The ADA Code is an evolving document and by its very nature cannot be a complete articulation of all ethical obligations. The ADA Code is the result of an on-going dialogue between the dental profession and society, and as such, is subject to continuous review.

Although ethics and the law are closely related, they are not the same. Ethical obligations may—and often do—exceed legal duties. In resolving any ethical problem not explicitly covered by the ADA Code, dentists should consider the ethical principles, the patient’s needs and interests, and any applicable laws.

Why Costa Rica is great in the Green Season

While many North Americans typically travel to Costa Rica from December to May, many Europeans know some of the best tourism experiences and options are available during the green season.

Why is the green season so special? …The Green Season is known for showcasing Costa Rica’s biodiversity, Birds, Monkeys and many other species are having their babies, wonderful waterfalls are flowing everywhere, flowers are in bloom in abundance and most mornings are fresh, clear and bright giving you lots of time to explore, or simple chill out on the beach and take in the scenery. Off season rates also give you a break on costs, with many providers offering sales and special rates, less tourists means higher availability for accommodations, excursions and tours.

The Green season also signals the return of whales, turtles and other marine species that come each year to the warm coastal waters to berth their offspring and lay their eggs.

They stay and play in the shallow bays along the coast enjoying the abundant food sources ensuring their offspring will grow strong for future journeys they will soon need to take. Four different species of turtles come to the shores of Costa Rica each year at this time to lay their eggs ensuring for future generations the enjoyment of these slow, graceful sea creatures. To spend a night watching a turtle crawl out of the ocean and lay her eggs in the sand, or watch the turtles hatching and see these little guys flock back to the ocean to begin a new life is an experience everyone should have the opportunity to witness .

For more information on green season tours and accommodations contact our International Patient Coordinator at clinic@davincisdentalcare.com

What is Micro Dentistry and why is it good for you?

Micro Dentistry is a science-based tool for operative dentistry, and an alternative to traditional dentistry.

The goal of the Micro Dentist is to identify unsound tooth structure, which is a threat to the long-term stability of the tooth, and then neutralize or remove those structures with minimal disruption and invasion of the surrounding sound tooth structure. Minimal disruption of sound tooth structures provides the additional patient benefit of reducing or eliminating the pain associated with traditional dentistry.

Micro Dentistry is minimally invasive dentistry with the aid of Microscopic optical device that magnifies the operative field. As a direct consequence of higher magnification and the visualization obtained, treatment can be more precise and less invasive, thus preserving the oral tissues and dental structures from unnecessary substance loss during procedures such as diagnosis, cavity removal, and cavity preparation.

The advantages of Micro Dentistry for the dental team and the patient are numerous: lower stress levels, effective control of the operatory field, less fatigue, improved ergonomics, and more efficiency.

The result is satisfaction and pride for the dental team and an unprecedented level of clinical excellence in treatment for the patient.

At DaVinci’s Dental Care we believe the concept of Micro Dentistry is best practise for the patient and the whole dental team!
