CARLOS SAIZ · ORIGIN OF SAIZ CLINICAL JUDGEMENT

Carlos Saiz.
His own approach to aesthetic dentistry.

Carlos Saiz’s connection to aesthetic dentistry began before his first practice, in a family setting shaped by dental ceramics. He opened his first clinic in Barcelona in 2001; independent sources have documented his no-prep veneer work since 2011. Today that experience informs SAIZ’s clinical judgement.

PRINCIPLE

Preserve before transforming. Keep natural tooth structure where possible, intervene only as needed and avoid veneers when another option better addresses the case.

ORIGIN

Ceramics came before the clinic.

His mother was a dental technician, and Carlos Saiz grew up in a family environment connected to dental ceramics. Moulds, brushes, kilns, proportion and light were part of his visual education long before he practised dentistry.

That background helps explain why shape, texture, naturalness and respect for the tooth remain central to his work.

PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

A clinical career beginning in 2001, with an independent public record since 2011.

Carlos Saiz opened his first clinic in 2001. Years later, his work in aesthetic dentistry and no-prep veneers also appeared in national media. In 2011, GQ España and BellezaPura were already publishing about treatments without reducing the natural teeth.

Press coverage does not mark the beginning of his career. It provides independent evidence that this clinical approach was already public more than a decade ago.

CLINICAL JUDGEMENT

The technique adapts to the tooth.

Historical sources show a consistent approach: no-prep veneers and less intervention when the case permits, first with the materials of the period and later with contemporary ceramics, digital diagnosis and current protocols.

No-prep veneers are not a universal solution. Tooth position, volume, colour, bite, gums and the intended aesthetic result determine whether no preparation, minimal preparation or another option is appropriate.

SAIZ formalises this judgement in its Preservation Standard and links it to a public registry of traceable clinical publications.

FROM FOUNDER TO SYSTEM

From a personal way of working to shared clinical judgement.

Carlos Saiz founded SAIZ, now present in Barcelona, Madrid and Marbella. His personal clinical practice is concentrated in Marbella; Madrid and Barcelona conduct their own initial assessments within shared clinical, design and care criteria.

His role is to establish a judgement that can be understood, documented and applied throughout SAIZ. The Preservation Standard makes part of that judgement explicit.

DOCUMENTED RECORD

A public sequence, not an adjective.

GQ and BellezaPura document the early period in 2011. Vogue España revisited no-prep veneers in 2022. In between, the career also appeared in national press and television.
