Doctor's Profile
“Orthodontics is for everyone. No matter how old you are,
you can do orthodontics. Aesthetic problems are no longer a
problem. “- Dr. Betzy Marilena Portillo Portillo.
Dr. Betzy Marilena Portillo Portillo is an orthodontist with
specialization in maxillofacial orthodontics. Her clinic is
located in the Centro Dental San Lucas a multiprofessional
center, where the newest techniques and equipment are
used to treat teeth. Located in the municipality of San Lucas,
Sacatepéquez, it is 12 km from La Antigua Guatemala. The
doctor attends mainly to teenagers, although she also invites
adults to come to her clinic for orthodontics. This
Guatemalan dentist is a specialist in applying aesthetically
discrete orthodontics.
Dr. Portillo has 9 years of experience in the field of
orthodontics. So many current juvenile tendencies, as well as
the implications of adult life, have led him to seek and
implement the most discreet methods when brackets are
involved. For these cases, it uses lingual orthodontics and
invisible aligners, two types of orthodontics that serve to
reduce the visibility of these dental appliances. They can be
ceramic or sapphire. Currently, this trend is evident in young
people, as well as in adults who have a presence in the media
or who engage in public speaking. However, conventional
orthodontics applies more frequently. If the case allows it, it
also cares for those patients with dental prostheses that seek
to improve the results of the treatment.
Dr. Portillo also performs more common and routine
procedures such as teeth cleaning and dental veneers. Dental
veneers are pieces of some material such as porcelain. They
are used to correct aesthetic or pathological problems of the
teeth, such as cavities, changes in color or shape of the teeth,
as well as previous restorations. She can also work with
dentures. The combination of orthodontics with dental
prostheses can help you get better results.
At Dr. Portillo’s clinic, most patients will have a panoramic
radiograph. In children and adolescents, who are still
growing, they may also require a cephalometric radiograph.
This type of radiography is also requested in case a surgical
procedure is to be performed. These devices are available at
the San Lucas Dental Center, so patients do not need to go to
another center.
The San Lucas Dental Center, located between Antigua
Guatemala and Guatemala City, has grown to become one of
the most modern dental care centers in Guatemala. It has
renowned professionals and specialists in different areas of
dentistry such as Dr. Portillo, Dr. Claudia Julieta Rodas,
dentist of children, Dr. Ana Cecilia Cabrera, dentist of
adolescents and adults, Dr. Martha Georgina Fonseca, dentist
of elderly people, Dr. Héctor Torres, oral and maxillofacial
surgeon and Dr. Juan Sebastián Rodríguez, specialist in 3D
implantology. In 2016, the dental clinic acquired the
international accreditation of Acreditas Global, a subsidiary
of the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health
Care (AAAHC). Based in Chicago, the AAAHC authenticates
compliance with quality and safety standards and protocols
in health centers such as hospitals and ambulatory surgery
clinics. Located 12 kilometers from Antigua Guatemala, the
San Lucas Dental Center has the endorsement of the AAAHC
to offer all types of dental treatment to the patient, both local
and foreign. This dental clinic is ideal for those who want
quality dental care without moving to the capital. The San
Lucas Dental Center has worked socially in favor of nursing
homes, such as those in San Lucas and Choacorral
Sacatepéquez and children’s homes in the region. Until
today, they have implemented 80 Ad honorem prostheses.
The method of Dr. Portillo contemplates the speed of
execution, as well as the comfort of the patient, in any
treatment that applies: orthodontics, dental cleaning, dental
veneers, among others. The majority of their patients are
adolescents and young people. Adults attend less frequently,
as there is a belief that this type of treatment is suitable only
for young people. However, the dentist clarifies that
orthodontics is for all ages and that there are methodologies
for all stages of life.
