The front desk staff, assistants and other doctors made me feel right at home immediatelyMarcos, Denmark, 15 07 22

I live in Denmark. We also have good dentists here. They are pricy though. And, that's why I started searching for a trustworthy dentist to check on my oral health as well as aesthetics. I was considering veneers. I was planning 2 weeks holiday to Rio, so I read many reviews of local dentists and tried to get as much information as I could about the procedures I was dreaming about: that perfect smile, without looking fake. That's how I found Dr. Rowan Vilar. Highly recommended by a previous Danish patient. I decided to write to Dr. Rowan. The first thing that I liked about him it was the quick reply to my inquiring. He provided lots of information and the same week we scheduled our first Zoom consultation. I noticed that he was not in a hurry. With time and care, he provided again more in-depth information with PDFs and links. A scanning was made in Denmark to give him a better idea of my teeth situation. Then, we had a second Zoom consultation. This time, I received a lecture of what was going on in my mouth and what we could do about to fix it, if I decided to proceed with treatment in his office. I felt secure that I would be in good hands. And now, my smile tells me I was/am. In Rio, great office located in Ipanema beach, just a few meters from the metro. The front desk staff, assistants and other doctors made me feel right at home immediately. Everything was on time. In two weeks, I treated 2 canals, changed several old silver fillings for resin and put veneers on the upper teeth. Yes, I still had time to enjoy my vacation in Rio. I'll be back to get my lower teeth done next vacation. Oh yes! It's much cheaper than in Denmark.
