Dental Work in Bogotá - what kind of dentist do I need??

Hello:

I have been travelling for a while now and I would like to have my teeth cleaned & whitened
and maybe have silver-filling replaced with more natural looking material.

I am in Bogotá at the moment and will be here for at least one more month or so.

What kind of dentist do I need to visit (regular, cosmetic, etc..)? Do you have any recommendations? As my Spanish is pretty basic, I prefer English speaking dentist
(but is not a requirement).

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I can recommend my Bogota Dentist that various PBH posters have used with good results over the past 4 years. She is very reasonable. PM me for her Info! I can also show you "before&after" photos of her work on my teeth.

FYI, In Colombia, regular dentists are usually referred to as "Odontologos".

Sonria is fine for that sort of work and is everywhere - one on 74 with 15. They often have specials for teeth whitening for 200 k.
