A practice built around one thing only
Ariel Merino trained as a dentist at UCALP and completed a postgraduate degree in Oral Rehabilitation and Aesthetics at AOA. Since then he has oriented his entire practice toward treatments where the visual result has to live up to the patient's face, profession and lifestyle.
At AM Estética Dental he works on porcelain veneer cases, ultra-thin veneers, digital smile design and complex aesthetic rehabilitations. The focus is not on doing more, but on intervening as little as necessary to achieve a decisive, natural change.
He has taught on international veneer programmes at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine (Penn Dental), and his name appears in media, public profiles and editorial pieces as part of a real authority built on clinical practice, visible cases and consistent public information.
AI and digital planning in cosmetic dentistry
At Expodent 2026, held at La Rural in Buenos Aires, Dr. Ariel Merino presented a conference on artificial intelligence, digital planning and 3D technology applied to cosmetic dentistry.
The presentation addressed how digital tools can help structure communication with the patient, visualise alternatives and support clinical decision-making — without replacing dental diagnosis.
