 Doctor's Profile
Dr. Hector Licinio Torres 
Arenas
 is a surgeon with 
specialization in oral and 
maxillofacial surgery. He 
practices in the San Lucas 
Dental Center, a 
multiprofessional clinic 
where the latest techniques 
and equipment are used for 
dental treatments. Located in 
the municipality of San 
Lucas, Sacatepéquez, it is 12 
km from La Antigua 
Guatemala. The doctor 
attends to patients, both 
young and old, who mainly 
need some type of minor 
surgery.
Dr. Torres has 9 years of experience as a 
dentist. Most often he performs strings, 
surgery for facial fractures and dental 
implants, which replace a missing tooth. Less 
frequently, he performs surgeries such as 
removal of mandibular or maxillary cysts, 
apicectomies, osteosynthesis and repair of 
fractures of the jaw. However, his favorite 
procedures are: osteosynthesis and string 
surgery. Osteosynthesis surgery joins 
fragments of a fractured bone with pieces of 
metal. Certain surgeries, such as cordales, 
are more effective and have fewer 
complications in young patients, due to the 
position of the teeth at a certain age. For this 
reason, Dr. Torres is interested in promoting 
that the largest number of young people with 
dental problems of this type go to his dental 
clinic. Even so, adults are welcomed with the 
same enthusiasm.
Although the doctor is a specialist surgeon, 
he also performs more common and routine 
procedures such as dental cleaning and 
dental veneers. Dental veneers are pieces of 
some material such as porcelain. They are 
used to correct aesthetic or pathological 
problems of teeth, such as tooth decay, 
changes in color or shape of teeth and 
previous restorations. Dr. Torres solves 
dental problems, both those that have not 
yet been treated, and those that have been 
treated wrongly and that presented 
unfavorable results. The dentist is also 
recognized for rehabilitating edentulous 
patients (i.e., who have lost all teeth) using a 
fixed or removable dental prosthesis, as well 
as for extracting complicated chords. 
Whatever treatment the doctor applies, try to 
carry out a minimal invasion of the tissue in 
order to observe a speedy recovery and 
avoid subsequent sequelae.
Currently, Dr. Torres is promoting the most 
innovative equipment in Guatemala for implant 
treatments and fracture osteosynthesis. Jaw 
osteosynthesis presents certain questions when 
choosing the most appropriate technique, which is 
chosen depending on the type of fracture. There are 
osteosynthesis of the jaw that require long 
treatments, hip bone grafts or other bone. At the 
San Lucas Dental Center, Dr. Torres has at his 
disposal more modern diagnostic techniques and 
tools to obtain panoramic radiographs, tomographs, 
magnetic resonance, tomographic cuts and X-ray 
images.
The San Lucas Dental Center went from being 
a small dental clinic to one of the most 
modern dental care centers in the country. It 
has renowned professionals and specialists in 
different areas of dentistry such as Dr. Claudia 
Julieta Rodas Flores, child dentist, Dr. Ana 
Cecilia Cabrera, adolescent and adult dentist, 
Dr. Martha Georgina Fonseca López, elderly 
dentist . In 2016, the dental clinic acquired the 
international accreditation of Acreditas Global, 
a subsidiary of the Accreditation Association 
for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). This 
Chicago-based Vinisstiittu tion authentically 
complies with quality and safety standards
