Reviews of Advance Dental Costa Rica.

3-6 months to see a dentist and with Advanced Dental they were able to work with our schedules. I even had my daughter get a check up and her Dentist made the visit very comfortable for her! Definitely recommend Advanced Dental and would go here again!

dental works that needed to be done. I recommend them! (Tip: appointments are as scheduled but call in advance because they are very busy office, I took that as a good sign! The good thing is that you have all the specialist you need in the same place. Best staff I've ever dealt with, and the Doctors are very professional and explains each procedure thoroughly and explains each process as they are working in you. Again, I am so happy and satisfied and would recommend to family and friends. Great professionals who do everything humanly possible to make you relax and truly cares. Staff is great and always happy to help. If it is your first time in Costa Rica, don’t worry they know how to make you feel at home and help you to enjoy the beautiful of their country. See you in three months friends!!!

not only saved my tooth with a root canal and crown they identified the neighbor tooth was as needing a root canal and crown. I saved a lot of money by visiting Advance Dental and plan to return later in the year for more treatment. Thank you!

my excessive dry mouth condition. The dry mouth was causing the abnormal deterioration of the health of my teeth. I am grateful for this diagnosis and corrective action to preserve my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Brenes and the friendly staff at Advance Dental.

We were very happy with the superior service and outcomes of their work.

to make extra sure that I understood what he was saying--even though he speaks fluent English). Yet I also felt respected and free to choose which way I wanted to go based on the various options that he presented. By way of background: I'm from Boston, Massachusetts in the US, and the Periodontist that I had been referred to by my local dentist had recommended extracting 3 of my front teeth and replacing them with implants. I was inclined to go with it, but after hearing about Advance Dental Costa Rica and contacting them, they responded that based on my X-Rays, they were confident that they could actually save my teeth--and they did! I'm so grateful I took the leap of faith and made the trip--it was totally worth it. In addition to Dr. Brenes, everyone else I interacted with at Advance Dental, from Andrea "Andy" Acosta (with whom I corresponded before, during and after my visit and who also scheduled all of my procedures) to Dra. Mónica Fabian (Dental Therapist who was there to greet me every day), Dr. Samir Tiapa (the amazing Endodontist who did my root canals) and Dra. Rossie Brender (the Periodontist who helped cut open and then stitch back the roof of my mouth and gums--with sutures that were so fine I could barely feel them), as well as their assistants--everyone was genuinely warm and professional (and that was despite everyone being in hazmat suits and masks due to COVID). I really felt like I was getting the best possible care, and had the utmost confidence that everything they did was fully-thought out to produce the best outcomes possible. I highly recommend this team, and in fact, am planning to return for even more work next fall (some crowns) as I can't imagine a better, more qualified team! Their office, equipment and procedures are all world-class (plus they have everything they need onsite). Also worth mentioning is that they all speak fluent English and their office is in San José's upscale neighborhood of Escazú, surrounded by high-end stores, restaurants and hotels (not to mention the Starbucks that I went to every day), so even coming from the United States, I felt right at home the entire time.

I decided to try Advanced Dental Costa Rica, based on Dr. Brenes' California residency in oral restoration and he impressed me from the start. He was knowledgeable, friendly and patient in answering all my questions. He pointed out that the issues I was having with my remaining teeth could be addressed by a full-mouth restoration. Since he inspired confidence, I chose that option. I'm writing this account for anyone considering Dr. Brenes for such a procedure. A full-mouth restoration is undeniably expensive, but costs far less in Costa Rica than in the US. In my case, dental fees, travel costs and accommodations totaled less than half what I'd have paid at home. Also, Costa Rica is a great place to visit, with its natural splendor, fascinating history and friendly people. I wish Dr Brenes had put his office closer to the beach but the lab days while waiting for the crowns to be made let me try surfing on my first visit and study Spanish on my second. Also, a full-mouth restoration entails many uncomfortable hours of prepping old teeth for crowns, but Dr Brenes and his staff made it as comfortable as possible. For me, the hardest part was getting used to the feel of the new teeth afterward. Dr. Brenes advised me correctly to give it time, and the discomfort went away after a couple of months as I got used to having functional teeth. Now, over a year later, I'm completely delighted. After decades of constant dental problems, my new teeth feel solid, work perfectly, and look great. I only think about them now when I happen to see them in a mirror – and smile!

Mall, Starbucks, Exclusive designer stores,restaurants,movie theatre. Thank you Dr Brenes I will be back for any future dental work, Kind Regards, Carol. OUTSTANDING - DENTAL SERVICE

patient coordinator, Dr Brenes, and the entire staff IS AWESOME. They made everything wonderful and seamless, even for a person who only speaks English. Dr Brenes is very professional, took extra time explaining the process. You could tell how important it is for him to do a fantastic job AND care for the patient. My experience was as good or better then any treatments I have experienced in the US . They really care about their patients, AND it shows. Andy has been there to assist on anyway. They all made us feel like family!! Thanks Andy for also helping set up transportation, and anything else that was requested. You will not be disappointed with the process and outcome. I SMILE every time I think of them ...And a much improved SMILE THANKS, Andy, Doc, and staff John D Punta Gorda, FL USA

recommended. Andrea arranged us to be picked up at the airport and throughout our stay, there was no communication problems. We found everyone so friendly and helpful.

get full crowns at less than half the price. And basically received a free two week vacation in beautiful Costa Rica! I would highly recommend Dr. Brenes and Advance Dental to any American who loves to travel and is seeking quality, affordable dental work.

he patient coordinator, Andrea (Andy) Acosta is super. She gives you a schedule and has drivers pick you up at the airport and then back again. There are two very nice hotels within a few hundreds yards of Advance Dental, walking distance in an extremely nice area. Super secure. I chose the Marriott Residence Inn because you get a kitchenette. Both hotels are full of Americans, because they are doors away from CIMA, the hospital equivalent there of Johns Hopkins. Yet far less expensive. I live in Fort Lauderdale. It is a direct flight to San Jose, three hours.
