On my first day at the America Dental I didn’t know what to expect, I was greeted with very friendly employees and the Doctors. The America Dental is very nice, clean and they have the best equipment. I was very please to have my teeth done. I am referring to anybody who would like to have beautiful teeth done by very nice friendly caring doctors.

I can’t thank Dr Vargas and his team enough for their expertise. generosity and kindness! This is by far the absolutely best experience I have had in any dentist office. I am in the wellness field and have been searching for a trusted Wholistic dental clinic for many years and I have found the best! Thank Dr Vargas, Dr Gabriella, Dr Fernanda, Maricella and Camilla..your warm smiles and hugs made…

America Dental is the best experience my wife and I have ever had with a dentist office. Their office is clean and they are equipped to have the most advanced dental equipment on the planet. From Cone Beam scans, to safe amalgam removal, to ozone therapy, to bite analysis, in-house crown and inlay creation, implants placed, to heavy metal detection scans - we had it all done at extremely…

affordable prices. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly and truly desire to supply the best services a person can receive! We can’t recommend America Dental more than to say that we will be returning to complete our dental work! Thank you America Dental for all you did to help us get our Dental Hygiene in top shape!

I am a U.S. Citizen living in Costa Rica, and dentist abound in this country. I was looking for a specific holistic dental office, and I found it. I received sinus lift, bone graft, my very old root canals were removed, and zirconium implants placed. My metal crowns were also removed and replaced with zirconium crowns. All the metal was removed from my mouth, and the bone cleaned. My next…

t procedure was a complete upper set of Veneers. To say I am pleased with the work I received is an understatement. The work, care and professionalism of the office and staff was exceptional. A big thank you to Dr. Solis, Dr. Vargas and very special thank you to Dr. Fernanda Ramirez. Dr. Ramirez was with me with every procedure, answering any questions and did a fantastic job with my veneers. American Dental did not disappoint, and I encourage you to book them for any dental needs you may have.

You will never find a better dental practice in Costa Rica. These people are genuine. We have been going to them for years and will continue for many more!

This is the most incredible dental office!!! I had a team of dentists help me correct and replace a bunch of old, bad dental work I had done in the USA. If you have any doubts, let me help you put them to rest. These dentists are more professional, higher tech, kinder, and far more attentive than any I’ve been to in the states. Plus they’re far less expensive. I’ll never have dentistry done in the…

USA again. Dr Vargas and Solís are rockstars, Dr Murrillo is an artist, and Camilla and Maricela manage things in the office like they own the place. Increíble!!!

Visiting America Dental was a game-changer for me. Dr. Fernanda was not only highly skilled but also took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, making the entire experience stress-free. She is very sweet and made me feel comfortable every time. The level of care and attention from the whole team was exceptional, turning what is often a dreaded visit into a…

a surprisingly pleasant one. The use of cutting-edge technology ensured the best treatment outcomes, and their commitment to patient comfort was evident throughout my visit. America Dental is more than just a dental office; it's a place where professionalism and warmth converge to create a truly outstanding dental care experience. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-notch dental services in a comfortable and caring environment.

Choosing Dr. Solis for my dental implant procedure was one of the best decisions I've made. The clinic's holistic approach, coupled with advanced technology, ensured a smooth and comfortable experience. The entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and committed to patient well-being.

I intentionally sought a holistic dentist. Although they claim to be, they aren’t. They used 13 shots of Novacain instead of ozone and holistic medicine. My tongue turned yellow and I asked them not to use more, because this is a sign that my liver was overloaded. Neither bridge fits well, but one may need replaced. It hurts and doesn’t fit well. I’ve tried several times to contact them and they…

don’t respond. They treat you nicely when you’re there, but ultimately it’s a business and not about customer care. I’m very disappointed to have spent hours of time researching for a holistic dentist and feeling confident that it would be a good experience because I have more work and hoped to return. I also immediately felt nerve damage in my ear. One of the injections obviously hit a nerve.

I would have loved to leave a 5 star review however, that’s not the case for me. Based on the other reviews I had read and my initial interactions with Maricela (patient coordinator), I chose this clinic and came to them with high expectations. Let just say those expectations weren’t met. On a positive note, they definitely have advanced technology and Dr. Vargas is very skilled, experienced,…

d, and patient. He gracefully answered all of my questions (and I had a lot) and even messaged me from his personal number to check on me after the procedure. For many people, this clinic would be top notch because yes, they do offer great service. For me though, as someone who was looking for 100% holistic approach (which includes both physical and emotional care), it wasn’t it. A few examples: I requested a very conservative approach when it came to local anesthesia being injected, requesting to be gentle and to not inject too much. Granted, the procedure I had done was major however, I know they blasted my mouth with way too much local anesthesia because 2.5 weeks later, my jaw is still sore. I know my body and can tell the treatment was on the aggressive side. Since I was under sedation, I wasn’t awake to that part and only later, when I asked Dr Vargas, he told me that 12 injections were used! That is completely against what I asked for and no truly holistic dentist would use that amount of local anesthesia in a mouth of a petite woman who doesn’t take any medications ever. My mouth and nervous system are still suffering from that. Initially, I didn’t want IV sedation so Dr Vargas was kind enough to outsource a nitric oxide specialist to come on the day of the procedure. The day before the scheduled surgery, I was told that the specialist couldn’t come which left me making a tough decision since I was already preparing mySELF for the procedure the following day. I was told that the sedation would be very similar to the effects of nitric oxide which I was familiar with. Well, it wasn’t even close. All I remember was waking up 3 hours later while they were finishing the procedure. Can U imagine the shock?? Something like that needs to be CLEARLY communicated with the patient before hand. Not only that I woke up all confused, Dr Vargas wasn’t even in the room… I saw him as my main dentist and was shocked yet again to not see him when I opened my eyes. When I was asking questions upon waking up, I was yelled by the other surgeon telling me I wasn’t going to remember anything so no point of asking questions. When I pretty much lost consciousness waiting in the lobby, I was taken to a side room to lay down and rest. No one came to check on me even once. I was alone, with no one to accompany me yet no warm care was provided by the clinic. They can certainly up their game when it comes to post surgery care like having a more pleasant room for the patient to recover and rest. Except for Maricela’s kindness and Dr Vargas being patient, the overall experience I had felt cold and very mechanical. There were several other things that that didn’t sit well with me, mainly the unprofessional communication both during and post treatment. To clarify, if you’re not really looking for warmth, clear communication, and fully holistic approach as part of your dental treatment, this clinic is a good choice. For me, based on my experience, I will not choose this clinic again nor recommend it to people who are seeking holistic dental care which is more than just having advanced technology and zirconia implants.

Very happy with work performed by Dr Vargas! Very advanced and modern facility!

I wish I could give America Dental 1000 stars!!!!! They are absolutely amazing!! I needed a lot of work done, and had a lot of bone loss and infection. They did 11 extractions, removed and cleaned out all of the infection and used ozone to sterilize the bone, then did bone graft and placed 5 implants, all at one visit. Dr. Vargas, Dr. Solis, Maricela and their whole staff are incredible. On my…

first visit Dr. Vargas spent a lot of time explaining everything to me showing on my CT scans what the problems were and how he would solve all of the problems. Before I went to see them at America Dental I spent many weeks online doing research about holistic dentistry and I sent my xrays to dentists all over the US and even a few in different parts of the world. I went to see a few dentists but I just didn't feel comfortable with any of them but when I read America Dentals website and called them on the phone I was so impressed. I spoke to Maricela and she was so incredibly nice and she answered all of my questions. I called a few more times with questions before I decided to go to see them and each time I felt even more comfortable. As soon as walked into their beautiful office and saw how spotless it is and I met Maricela, Dr. Vargas and the staff I knew I made the right choice. I could go on and on about how they took such good care of me and made me feel so comfortable. I think they really really care about their patients so much!!!!! Plus the work they do is state of the art and first class! They definitely are experts at what they do! After the surgery I had very little discomfort and I stayed a few weeks and saw them a couple of times a week to make sure everything was healing properly and I had no issues at all. I'll be going back to America Dental in a few months to have more implants placed and I'm really looking forward to seeing them again, it feels like I'm going back to visit family.

About eight months ago, I did a lot of research to find a good Bio dentist in another country. I did research in several different countries. I ended up choosing America Dental because of various reasons. One, they are a state of the art facility in the practice of bio dentistry versus conventional dentistry. They have been in business for many years. Dr. Vargas is absolutely dedicated to…

helping people from a holistic level and taking into consideration that the body works as one entire entity through a combination of different systems within it.. The facility is immaculately clean. They use top of the line products. The same and some better than in the United States. I don’t know if you are from the United States, but we’ve got some good dentist here and some horrible ones as well. Dr. Vargas is the very best dentist I have ever gone to in my entire life, and I’ve been to dentists all over the world. And I have never been to a dentist in the United States that becomes close to his expertise and attention to detail The last reason that I chose America Dental was because of the great reviews. My personal experience with America Dental is that they are top-of-the-line and state of the art in their products and procedures. They care about their clients and do amazing work. I had extensive dental surgery,10 cavitations that needed to be cleaned out and bone graft. I had all of my root canals removed and my titanium implants removed. Everything has been replaced with 100% zirconia implants. They did an amazing job. I highly recommend this company. Dr. Vargas and his staff are very caring and are wonderful people. They also work very well together. I know America Dental will probably be reading this, so I just want to thank you for all the goodness you bring to everyone including me. xo
