Dr Aida Mildred Ortiz Solarte, known to patients as Dr Mildred, has more than 25 years in dentistry. She completed her dental education at UNICOC in Colombia, where one mentor's words stayed with her: always treat the person, not just the tooth. She has further training in aligner orthodontics, implant dentistry and cone beam imaging.
For Dr Mildred, dentistry is a shared experience. It starts with listening, continues with clear communication, and moves at a pace that respects each person in the chair. An early experience with a very anxious patient taught her that calm reassurance and patience may matter as much as the procedure itself, so she leaves space for questions and pauses.
She enjoys the planning side of aesthetic dentistry, which she sees as a blend of careful analysis and artistry, where facial features, personality and expectations all play a part.
