We have incorporated a specific quality standard for dental clinics created by Best Quality Dental Centers, an association of prestigious dental clinics in Spain and Portugal.
BQDC Certified is based on the ISO-9001 standard and is aimed at detecting areas of clinical improvement, using a tool tailored to dental clinics.
This new quality standard demonstrates the quality of our services and generates added value in our clinic that will help us to continue growing and offering the best treatments to our patients.

Environment
At Dr. Loscos Dental Clinic, we also think about recycling, because it is our responsibility to manage the waste that is created within the work environment.
We have put our own grain of sand when starting to recycle:
We continue our efforts to reduce waste, and although the best waste is the one that does not occur, we try to reduce the amount we generate.
Quality in implants
The risks of low quality implants
The COEM (College of Dentists and Stomatologists of Madrid), has recently launched the campaign “Your mouth is not on sale” with the intention of fighting against those practices that can be harmful to the patient’s health.The initiative covers different actions to promote quality dentistry (ensure the registration of all dentists or denounce misleading advertising among many others) and even offers a section to report cases or people to alert of bad practices.
Among the warnings of this campaign, the COEM warns us about the risks that may occur to those people who place implants of low quality. Some of the consequences are: imbalances, fractures, bone loss and infections.
Recommendations to consider when placing an implant:
- Ask your dentist what is an implant and what are the steps to follow when placing the implant. In this way you will always know in which phase of the treatment you are, and you will understand the process better..
- It requires that a dentist manipulate your prosthesis. Although it is important that there is good communication between the prosthetist and the dentist, there are certain practices that are unique to the dentist.
- Do not trust treatments that are very cheap, since they can be synonymous with poor quality, and consequently, harmful to health. The material that is used for the implants, must be of advanced technology and biocompatible, reason why the cost of the materials is elevated.
- Do not believe in lifelong treatments. The osseointegrated implants placed by a qualified dentist and made with a suitable material, have a high degree of reliability, in fact, according to a study carried out, at 15 years, more than 90% of the implants placed, both in the maxilla and mandible , they continue to work excellently. Despite this, he distrusts the publicity that guarantees life-long treatments.
- Pay special attention to your oral hygiene, since it is one of the factors that will determine the success of the implant. Your dentist will give you the instructions you should follow.
-
See your dentist every six months. It is especially important in the case of implants to go to the revisions, to follow up and avoid possible complications
At the Dental Clinic Loscos de Zaragoza, we support the campaign “Your mouth is not on sale” and we fight to promote quality dentistry, since it is what everyone deserves.
Your mouth is not on sale
From the Official College of Dentists and Stomatologists of the I Region (COEM) has launched the campaign “Your mouth is not on offer” to protect patients and raise awareness of the importance of demanding good oral care and help promote a quality dentistry.
The objective of this campaign is to achieve a good quality of care for the benefit of patients and avoid bad practices that may involve harm to him, as well as a risk to his health. There are three fundamental aspects that stand out such as:
1) No to the intrusive
2) Not at low quality
3) No to misleading advertising

From Loscos Dental Clinic we want to echo this campaign and collaborate as much as possible in it. We have always defended and believed in the continuous training of our staff, in offering a high quality treatment and of course in providing any type of information in the clearest and most concise way.
