Ana Restrepo

Ana Restrepo’s work starts with a simple clinical rule: veneers placed over inflamed or receding gums can look wrong within a year, so periodontal treatment comes first. As a specialist at Colombia Care Dental in El Poblado, Medellín, she leads the periodontal side of care—gum and bone health that determines whether cosmetic work lasts. Her approach is built for people planning aesthetic changes, where the “beauty” result depends on the stability of the tissues beneath it.

Dr. Ana Restrepo qualified as a dentist at Universidad CES in Medellín in 2018, then completed an International Diploma in Advanced Dental Aesthetics with CEO Latinoamérica at Universidad de Cartagena (100 hours) in 2019. She is registered in Colombia’s national health workforce registry, RETHUS, since April 2019, and she is a member of the Colegio Colombiano de Odontólogos. In day-to-day practice, she supports general and aesthetic dentistry by focusing on periodontitis and related gum-and-bone conditions before cosmetic steps are started.

Her clinical background also includes work outside the main cosmetic pathway: she completed a rural service year at Hospital Santa Isabel in San Pedro de los Milagros and an observership at Decatur Orthodontics in Atlanta. She has more than ten years of clinical experience in periodontics and teaches postgraduate training, reflecting a practice that blends patient care with ongoing education.
