TMJ - Temporomandibular Joint Treatment Americas

We learned of Prisma Dental through International Living during one of their conferences in Costa Rica. They gave a presentation and I spoke with one of their representatives at their table during the conference. My husband and I both needed dental work. His was going to be extremely expensive in the US, so we took the leap and made an appointment online with Luis at Prisma Dental and traveled back to Costa Rica. My husband was extremely apprehensive and wanted complete sedation, but Dr Nadine Rubinstein was so gentle that she was able to remove 13 tooth roots with just numbing. He had no pain during the procedure or that evening. By the next day they had his very natural looking dentures ready! He will be back in 6 months for implants. I needed bonding on my lower front teeth and a cracked back molar fixed. I, too, was apprehensive, but with a mild sedative, Dr. Carolina Nunez built up the back molar and bonded nine lower teeth - all painlessly. The next day, she permanently cemented the new back molar. One can't even tell I had any work done - each bonding is seamless. From arranging for the appointment with Luis to being incredibly kind when we walked in the front door - topped off with the terrific work they did, it was a great experience - and the cost was a fraction of what we would have paid in the US.

Many years ago (I wish I could remember how many but maybe 7) my husband and I saw Dr Leonardo Vasquez - crowns and bridges for both of us. We had been recommended to see him with a good friend. Absolutely brilliant work. Hoping to get down again for a check-up.

I had a really great experience at Denti Vitale. The facility is very clean. It was no fuss. I had composite fillings put on to my front teeth. I had many dentist tell me no, that I need canine to canine veneers. I did not want to get veneers because your teeth are shaven down when you get veneers. Denti did not question or oppose my wishes. The procedure was also very quick, all done within 30 minutes. I am happy with the results. I will most likely come back here when it is time to redo them.

I was in Panama and I had tooth pain, called and got an appointment within a couple of days. It was discovered that the tooth was broken in half into. I received a canal lengthening, and bonding as well as cleaning at a great price. I'm glad this happened in Panama and not at home. The bonding came off and it was replaced free of charge with no other issues. The staff are very friendly and respectful as well as the doctor. I think it is worth it to return to Panama for my dental issues.

So very happy I found this clinic through a google search. Dr. Mackenzie is very thorough in her diagnostic process and in her work. She is very knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I highly recommend her! Thank you Dr. Mackenzie!

In life you have the opportunity to meet phenomenal people, whether they are musicians, craftsman or in this case a dentist. From my initial contact I was impressed with Dr. Reyes. After I e-mailed her she called me twice to discuss my treatment options. She was patient and explained the treatment alternatives in terms that I could easily understand. On my first visit she determined that I needed eight (8) implants, a root canal, numerous crowns and that my vertical dimension needed to be increased. Dr Reyes told me I would need to make three (3) trips to Bogota for treatment. To date I have completed two (2) of the trips. Essentially she is reconstructing my mouth. I was missing multiple teeth, and had badly worn teeth due to teeth grinding. I have never met a clinician who is so in tune with a patients needs. Her attention to detail is impeccable, she by all accounts is an artisan when it comes to dentistry. I have never known a dentist who has paid this much attention to the smallest of details. Her chair side manner is something I have never experienced. I have spent many hours in her office and have never felt rushed, never felt like I was just another client. Rather the treatment has always been very comfortable with a feeling of genuine importance to her. Her office is impeccably clean, her staff are beyond polite and Dr. Reyes speaks very good English this was important because my Spanish is very limited. Whatever you know about dentistry in the States, leave at the door. The treatment I received here is far beyond any treatment I have ever had in the USA. I cannot compliment this clinic enough, I really have no words. My teeth to date look absolutely amazing, she has changed my life. Beyond the treatment Dr. Reyes is a great resource for local Colombian cuisine, culture ECT. I won't go into the cost, but the savings are substantial. My final thoughts. Dr. Reyes is a rare find in the world of medical/dental practitioners. I feel very fortunate to have found such a capable professional, who truly cares about the quality of her work as well as the welfare of her patients! Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Dr. Kim takes the time to explain and show what is needed and how he would like to do each procedure. Would I recommend Dr. Kim. Yes, no problem. My mouth feels good. His hours are good and he is a smart person. Interesting to hear a person from Korea go from speaking to his assistants then switching to English speaking to me with a Korean accent. Would I go back? Yes without a question.

I was treated directly by Dr. Avilar. The clinic is high-end and identical if not better than any clinic I experienced in Canada. He speaks perfect English and was very kind to explain all the procedures he was going to do while I was drinking a coffee. There was no rush and he took his time to do a proper job, not like other clinics which are often more apparent to dental cleaning chain factories. All the documents he produced were in English and he even validated himself in my insurance documents that I would be covered. This could not have been better.

Dr was able to see me right away. Fixed my issue promptly and continued with exceptional service as more visits were required.
