Dental CT Americas

I came to Costa Rica at the end of February 2023 to work with Dr. Gadea and I had a wonderful experience. I was referred to him by a number of his patients who had successful experiences with him, and they live in North Carolina. The doctor and I emailed back-and-forth since the fall. He never hesitated to get back to me as soon as possible when I had questions. As a woman on my own, traveling to Costa Rica for dental work, I felt safe and secure, I felt supported and listened to by Dr. Gadea and his lovely staff. Everyone was kind and considerate. Everyone speaks wonderful English as well. His office has state of the art equipment to help further diagnose. My treatment plan consisted of six veneers, a root canal and a crown, a deep cleaning over my six veneers as well as teeth whitening. Dr. Gadea is an artist. He did an amazing job on my six front teeth. He did a fabulous job on my teeth in general. Even the anesthesia the doctor used seemed cleaner than the products they use at my general dentist in North Carolina. I am so grateful for him and his wonderful staff. I am so relieved that I am in network with Dr. Gadea. I will be going back every year that I can because I trust him with his superior artistic skills and his exemplary technical skills.

I only had a retainer made. It is fine. They came and picked us up and took us back over the border which was really helpful. I will go back next time I need a dentist. This is the only out of five clinics that contacted me!

I have had my All-On-4 for a YEAR as of today! I waited to do the review because something as major/expensive / life-changing as an ALL-ON-4 isn't something that can honestly be reviewed after just a few days. I was born with Enamel Hypoplasia; that is, my adult teeth didn't have any enamel. I was told when I was a teenager that I would be wearing dentures by the time I was 25. I decided to do my best to take care of what I had - I brushed after every meal, I flossed, etc. My teeth lasted until I was 56! I tried several times to get my teeth fixed in the US (starting in 1989) and the price / procedure kept changing including the first time I started in 1989 and I had already paid the dentist over $5k (in 1989 $). Any how, I visited a few more dentists up here in Texas throughout the years and never got a good feeling for they were going to do for me (price was all the way to $100k with a WHOLE year of warranty). I first reached out to Goodness Dental in 2016 and they were very informative and had me send down a panoramic x-ray of my teeth. I was told that if my gums were in good shape (they are), they recommended an ALL-ON-4 and it would take two trips to Costa Rica 6 months apart. Covid19 finally allowed me the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica in December of 2020 - they yanked all my TEETH!!! For the first couple of days, I was thinking WTF did I just do. They screwed by bottom temporaries in and gave me a set of removeable upper CLOWN teeth (I only wore them for the minimum recommended 1 hour a day as I couldn't talk/chew with them). My family and I travelled back to Costa Rica in June/July 2021 for the permanent teeth. They told me for most it would take a couple of months to get used to it - since I was used to having no teeth for the previous 6 months, it only took me a few days. The procedure has been life changing as I finally have teeth that are super sensitive to things like lemons and other acidic fruits, I can chew without shifting food around from side to side in my mouth, etc. The only thing I would ding Goodness Dental for it there has been no follow-up since I left to see how was I adjusting to my new teeth. Since I haven't had any issues, this hasn't been a big deal to me - but I know others who need the follow up.

It’s family owned. I love all the people. They’ve always treated me with respect and kindness. The work is impeccable, and I am very thankful that I know them.

First of all, I was impressed with the cleanliness of Alberta Dental and their state of the art digital X-rays was amazing, and the personnel were helpful and very nice especially Grace, Luis and Brian. I was impressed with their ability to get all of the resources that they need readily (Drs, Dentists, Specialists, Labs). I don’t know why anyone and everyone wouldn’t want to come to Los Algodones for dental work). I had a right rear lower molar that was very tender, plus I had an upper right extracted 2-3 years ago, and I wanted an overall evaluation of my gums and teeth. So after Dr Alan Morales examined me, this is what he came up with: right rear lower molar is somewhat loose, because of bone atrophy, so 1st: root canal on a right rear lower molar, and deep cleaning then bone graft. We will need to heal, so come back in 4-6 weeks, when we will put 5 crowns in, 2 on the right rear lower, and 3 for an upper right missing tooth.

I had been wanting a tooth implant for a while and was really hesitant to go to Mexico. After much discussion with my husband, I decided to go. Much to my surprise, it was not as difficult as I thought. We were there with Dr Ramos early one morning, had a 3D x-ray done a few blocks away and confirmed that I was a candidate for the implant. It took about 40 minutes for the whole procedure. I have gone for a 2 week follow up for removal of stitches and will return in 4 months for the abutment and after that crown. Very happy so far.

I would recommend this clinic to anyone!! The dentist Maribel and the receptionist were phenomenal!! I had my teeth pulled and dentures and was given great care and absolute professionalism!! Thanks to those girls for a job well done!!

This clinic is excellent. I have experience with visiting dentists in many countries. The office was conveniently located a very short walk from the pedestrian border crossing and a staff member met me to show me the way. From the first phone call to walking out the door after my first visit, I was treated with kindness and respect. All of the staff were pleasant, helpful and bilingual. I did not feel rushed. Dr. Chavez was thoughtful, honest, and clear in his explanations for my treatment plan taking the time to make sure I understood the procedures and the pros and cons. The office and treatment rooms were immaculate utilizing the most modern equipment and the doctor and staff followed strict hygiene protocols. I had minor procedures, a cleaning, filling and diagnostic x-rays, and will follow up with more extensive procedures. TIP: If you are walking across the border and have global entry/ SENTRI, don’t forget your card. Walking back is a little tricky. I finally asked someone who looked like they knew. Stay to the left of the main line and continue to walk to the border gates. The locals expect this and most importantly there are NO signs to guide you. Border crossings are all a little different and that’s how it’s done at Nogales.

I am very happy with my results. The team that works with the doctor is very professional, always willing to help me, his driver is very friendly and speaks perfect English, so I always felt safe. In addition, prices in Santo Domingo and the quality one receives, not in many places can be found so accessible. Thanks for all.

Very good clinic. Got me in the same day I called. Very fast, did a great job on my dentures. Worked all day to make my dentures in a couple of days as I had lost mine in the ocean.

I have to admit that I was nervous picking a doctor without a personal recommendation. (I always want a personal recommendation when I find medical care.) But, I couldn’t have been happier with my experience. I was only able to go down for a week (and over New Year’s at that). I needed quite a bit of work done, and Dr. Peniche made it happen within my schedule. He called me personally to make sure that he had all the information he needed to have everything ordered and prepared for my short visit. When I arrived everything went like clockwork. Dr. Peniche explained everything to me (both Dr. Peniche and Erica, his assistant, speak English incredibly well) and went over my options. He only wanted to do the work that he could guarantee would be successful. (But, he was able to do everything that I wanted to do while I was there.) The work was done quickly and efficiently. The office is small but clean and super well equipped. I have to say that I was way more impressed with Dr. Peniche’s care than I was with the care I got in the States (which I had been happy with). We hadn’t left yet and were already planning a return visit just to have Dr. Peniche do the last bit of work I need. I know that we don’t know each other, but if you need a personal recommendation, here it is! You won’t regret making an appointment with Dr. Peniche.

Even though I live in Texas I have traveled several times over quite a few years to this Dental Clinic. I consider Dr. Monica Sheddon an outstanding Dentist and have always gotten superb treatment. This has involved many types of procedures, including, extractions, Crowns, cleaning and implants.

My husband and I just returned from Vallarta and were very pleased with the services we received from Dentoamerica. From the email correspondences before our appointments, to the friendly and knowledgeable receptionists upon arrival, we felt comfortable making these appointments. Both For ‘root canals’ and then changed by two dentist's options on what my husband required. My ‘double canal - root canal’ by Dr Sarah was painless, followed by an easy filling and review with Dr Kevin. They both recognized the good work I had done in my mouth in Canada over the past ‘45 years’ and now of all dental plans, I am pleased to say I have found my new dentists, with more modern technology. Thank you - very affordable and very good work.

I will share my pictures once I’ve completed my transition but I want to first say - I flew from the US to see doctor Paulino because his work astronomical. He is dedicated and passionate about his dentistry and his surgical skills on the face. Fanny- that’s my friend. I really felt like I worked there in the days passing of my surgery. He called daily. Has very soft temperament. His office is clean and nice. I give him, his practice, his staff a 10/10 and I will post pictures later of the work he has done for me but when I tell you I will pop out. A little is always enough to make confidence sexy again. I will translate in Spanish for most of his clients but push thru US and show him some love ❤️

Excellent treatment, very pleased! Highly recommend! Dr. Delgado was extremely knowledgeable, informative and kind! He really took the time to explain the work he was going to perform. I came from Chicago and had 8 implants, 3 root canals, a bone graph, and a tooth extraction. The cost was significantly lower then it would have been in the states. I will be returning in 6 months for the remainder of my work. Wendy Walther June 2022.

Nice service, clean and pretty office. Well-informed dentist; fluent in English.

Treatment was excellent and very professional. I had 18 teeth removed and 8 implants put in over a three hour time period. There was no bleeding after and the pain level was low. After two days the temporary dentures was fitted. It has been about three weeks now and my gums are healed. The cost is about 1/4 to 1/5 the cost compared to prices in the US. Most people might be worried about the crime and the unknown going to Guatemala but I was met at the airport by the mother of the Alan (dentist). I stayed at her house in the heart of Guatemala City, she is very nice and she spoke great English. His mom drove me to the clinic and Alan drove me back. Of course, I have been there three times and travelled around with no problem.
