I had bad cavities, teeth yellowing due my older age. I found Dr. Brenes from all the good reviews that he had on google. Advance dental staff and Dr. Brenes was so kind and comforting as they gave me a full mouth restoration; I would recommend Dr. Brenes on any form of teeth work done. Whether it is tooth extraction, root canal, veneers, cosmetic crowns or full teeth restoration. I was amazed…

with results that he and his staff performed on my teeth. And you can stay at the Residence Inn during your procedure, which is very close to Dr. Brenes. office. Look at my before and after photos. Thank you so Much to Advance Dental Costa Rica( Dr. Brenes and all his staff) for making the my experience easy and manageable. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
I’ve been seeing Dr. Brenes for over six years. He’s always been professional, polite, and really knows his field. He takes time to find out what’s causing your dental problem and works with other professionals to make sure you get the best care. I respect him as a doctor, but even more, I appreciate how kind he is and how much he truly wants to help you feel better and stay healthy.

Thank you Cindy for your kind words ! It is always a pleasure seeing you !
I've been going to Advanced Dental for about 7 years. Dr Brenes and company are top-notch. They are all fluent in English/Spanish, and their entire staff is great. His office is super flexible if you have a busy schedule. They are very understanding that you may have to change your appointments due to life getting in the way of your shiny teeth and your next appointment. Many people come from…

Thank you Michael !! We are glad to know you are happy with the results! Always a pleasure seeing you !
Dr. Brenes and team were great to work with. They did an excellent job, and the experience was very professional. I usually struggle at the dentist, but I had no issues working with them. I basically had a full mouth restoration of crowns and implants. Everything was great!
I have been a patient at Advance Dental Costa Rica for the past 8 years, and I could not be more thankful for the care and dedication of Dr. Eugenio Brenes and the entire team. When I was younger, I suffered an accident that broke my front teeth, which left me deeply scared and worried about my smile. At that age, I was still too young for a permanent dental implant since my face and mouth were…

still developing. Thankfully, I found Dr. Brenes. He went above and beyond to create innovative temporary solutions that allowed me to smile with confidence all throughout my teenage years. His approach gave me not only functionality but also peace of mind knowing I could continue living normally while waiting for the right time for a final solution. Now, at 22 years old, I have just completed my last appointment and received my final tooth implant. The results are absolutely incredible. My teeth look completely natural with the correct size, proportion, and color. You would never know that I had ever suffered an accident. I will always be grateful to Dr. Brenes and the other doctors at Advance Dental for their professionalism, creativity, and dedication over the years. They put so much effort and care into helping me restore my natural smile, and the results speak for themselves. 5/5 stars. I highly recommend Advance Dental Costa Rica for any dental needs.
I recently visited Advance Dental for an intensive procedure, and can honestly say it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I've been to several dentists in the US over the years, but Dr. Brenes was exceptionally gentle and thorough, taking the time to explain everything to me in a way no other dentist ever had. He pointed out issues that no one else had ever mentioned, and I really felt…

t like he had my best interest at heart rather than just trying to sell me on more procedures. Also worth noting: you don’t need to know any Spanish for the visit. The entire staff speaks fluent English, so communication was effortless. The entire experience was a breath of fresh air compared to what I’ve encountered in the US. I highly recommend Advance Dental and Dr. Brenes to anyone looking for top-notch dental care in a professional and genuinely caring environment.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Brenes and his staff at Advance Dental. I received top notch care since my first evaluation in September of 2024 until my completion of my dental care in March of 2025. I am now 4 month post crowns, implants and a bridge. Everything went perfectly. All the staff were so welcoming and put me at ease as they identified I was a bit anxious. The expertise…

Dr. Brenes and his team of professionals are awesome! I can finally smile again with confidence, and the fit and feel of my teeth is better than it has ever been.

Thank you Michael for your wonderful review — we're so grateful for your trust in our care! Keep on smiling!
I had some work done back in September of 2024, including whitening, a front tooth crown and a veneer and can definitely recommend this clinic. I was in Costa Rica on a short trip but managed to get a lot of work done, yet not all of it, but the doctor recommended not to push it too hard, because I was still healing from my wisdom teeth extraction surgery, and I really appreciated that. Everyone…

Thank you for the great review Geo ! It is always a pleasure to hear from you; and we are pleased to know that (almost) 10 years afterwards you are still smiling :D
I just completed 8 veneers and 6 crowns with Dr. Brenes. My results greatly surpassed my expectations. As part of treatment plan I received a cleaning and whitening that was well above the quality of what I’ve received in the US. The entire office was very helpful and inviting. I’m an anxious dental patient and they were all very kind to me. They were even able to fit my husband in for a…

a small but equally significantly cosmetic upgrade to his front tooth. He is also an anxious dental patient and Dr. Brenes was able to offer a minimal procedure of a single tooth compared to the 4-6 teeth option given to him in the US. I booked my appointments to align with a vacation over 6 months ago. I contacted 2 other dental offices before selecting this one. It wasn’t the least expensive option but the exchange gave me the most confidence given the amount of dental work I wanted. The office location is extremely convenient and walkable to many stores, restaurants, and hotels. I can’t recommend this practice enough. We will definitely return in the future.

Thank you Sara! It has been a pleasure meeting you both and we are excited to see you happy with the results and with our guest experience. We will be looking forward to seeing you again!
This was the best medical care experience of my life. They handled everything perfectly. Dr. Brenes and his team were world class. I enjoyed my time in Costa Rica which is not hard to do. Everything was as it was proposed to be . No bait and switch. Highly recommend this for smart people. Women are giving me compliments every day!

Thank you Ellie! It was a pleasure, we are so happy you chose Advance Dental. You are always welcome!
Really happy with the entire experience. I was very nervous and apprehensive as I have high dental anxiety. From my first contact to the completion of my dental work (full mouth restoration - crowns, implants, bone grafts and extractions) I felt heard, understood, cared for, informed and most importantly comfortable. Dr Brenes takes time to talk through the options, the treatment plan and after…

care expectations. Now, it is dental work and there is no way around that. There will be some soreness and some time needed to recover but I honestly never had any pain. Everyone at the Advance Dental office is so kind, communication is easy and questions are encouraged and throughly answered. I traveled to Costa Rica from the New England area and needed to stay 10 business days for the work to be completed. The area is very nice and the hotel (Marriott Residence Inn) is super convenient, literal 4 min walk. There are coffee shops and restaurants all within a convenient walking distance. I would highly recommend checking out this Dental practice and reaching out to them with any questions.
This practice was incredible from the quick and informative responses to the treatment plan for implants and root canals. Painless procedure. Dr Brenes takes the time to explain all the options and procedure in detail. Everything was explained in detail with up front pricing. Their rates are very reasonable and it was well worth the trip from the US. I was treated like family from the moment I…

walked into their beautiful, spotless, and modernd suite. I would highly reccomend them. Costa Rica is also a beautiful country to visit. Thank you!
My experience at Advanced Dental has been a dream come true, and I'm so happy to say I've finally found doctors I can trust for my dental treatments. The doctors aren't rushed from one appointment to the next; they dedicate the necessary time to each patient, both during the consultation and the procedures, demonstrating 100% commitment. Their knowledge and experience are clear and evident. In…

In my case, both Dr. Tiapa and Dr. Brenes answered all my questions, explaining the procedures in detail. Furthermore, they kept me informed of each step during the procedures, which greatly helped manage my anxiety, as nothing took me by surprise. The personal attention is exceptional: the entire Advanced Dental team, from reception to the doctors, is completely respectful, kind, and warm. Going to the dentist isn't usually something I look forward to, but they definitely made me feel much more comfortable. Finally, and most importantly for me: both procedures were completely painless, something I never thought was possible. For those of us with chronic pain and sensory processing conditions, this has been the most empathetic, kind, and positive experience I've ever had. Thank you so much!
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care and professionalism I received during my dental treatment. The attention to detail from the entire team, especially Dr. Eugenio, has been exceptional, and his ability to make me feel comfortable and confident during each visit has been invaluable. I deeply appreciate the kindness and time you have taken to explain every step of the…

e process to my husband and me, which has been instrumental in achieving my goal. Thanks to your experience and skill, I now enjoy better dental health and a renewed smile. I reiterate my gratitude and send you my warmest regards. Sincerely, Natalia Londoño
Advance Dental with Dr. Bernes and his Staff are by far the BEST overall in care, professionalism, patient concerns, and quality work. I needed this type of service, and I have been to many other dentist around my area in America, but couldn't find a Dentist that cared about my overall concerns.The price was great and the service is excellent. Going to Costa Rica and being taken care of Advance…

Dental was the best decision for me. Thank you to Dr. Samir Tiapa, which is amazing with the work he does and very skilled. Big Questions for finding the correct Office and Dentist for me were answered and now I feel great and Love Costa Rica! So Thank You , Dr Brenes, Andrea Costa for all you did for me. I appreciate the service I am given from your office.
My experience with Advanced Dental was phenomenal. I was amazed at the knowledge and professionalism exhibited by the entire team. The equipment and techniques they use are state of the art. I felt like I had just come out of the dark ages compared to my US dentist. Andy coordinated and scheduled appointments, hotel, airport pickups, answered all my many questions and even scheduled a wonderful…

adventure on an off day. She made the experience so easy. I couldn’t believe how much work I was able to have done in a short amount of time. Dr. Brenes team saved me a lot of time and money. I never thought I would ever have such beautiful teeth again!
This was one of my most pleasant dental experiences that I have not had recently. They are a “one stop shop” with 5 professional, efficient, friendly specialized doctors that deal with ALL dental issues with total comfort and they are reasonably priced! I highly recommend this clinic to people looking for the best to treat all dental issues. Vladimir Sukhov
I would give a ten star review for Advance Dental Clinic if I could. I had a lot of work done there — crowns, bridge, implants, extractions, root canals & more — and everything was done to my complete satisfaction, and I’m now enjoying the results. The clinic & its equipment is so modern & high tech, it’s like something out of Star Trek! Dr. Brenes & his associates, including Dr. Tiapa, who did my…

root canals, are true perfectionists. All of the staff at Advance Dental Clinic are so friendly & caring, I genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. I would recommend Advance Dental Clinic to anyone in need of a high level of dental services.
Advanced Dental Costa Rica wins high marks for its professionalism, punctuality, and quality of care and work. I am a nervous wreck when it comes to dental procedures. The doctors and staff helped me to feel comfortable and relax as much as possible when facing several root canals and crown work, and the awful drilling noises that occur during the procedures. They carefully determined the work…

k necessary, described the work to help relieve my anxiety, and made a schedule to get the work done before I returned home to the USA. I highly recommend Advanced Dental Costa Rica to everyone as you will get excellent care. You may still have time left in your vacation to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. Once here, you will have a positive experience to remember.
I traveled to Costa Rica for dental care with Advanced Dental and everything about the experience has exceeded my expectations. From the start, working with Andy to schedule my appointments and understand my anticipated treatment plan was so smooth and easy. Once I got to their beautiful offices, I was greeted warmly and compassionately. My care was personalized to my needs and preferences. Dr.…

Brenes and his entire team are extremely well qualified, spoke English with me, and gave me the best dental care of my life. They were extremely kind and patient with me when I shared that dental work gives me a lot of anxiety. I cannot recommend this practice and this decision highly enough. I will be sending all my family and friends to see Dr. Brenes at Advanced Dental!
Wow. I had a CT scan and my dental team found that I need 4 root canals and crowns. 1st one done today. 3 more to go. Advance Dental is my goto place for cleanings, dental work and my Invisaligners.
