I am Canadian and visit Mexico often. I do not have dental benefits in Canada so I decided to have some dental work done while visiting. I had a teeth whitening service ($3000 pesos) and a small repair on a composite bonding. My experience was perfect. The dentist spoke perfect English and made me feel very comfortable. He did not try to upsell me on any procedures. I will be returning in 6 months…

s for a dental cleaning which was quoted at ($700-$1000 pesos). I had my dental cleaning done at a different clinic a few days prior and while the price was similar, I did not feel as comfortable and did not feel as though they were as confident as this dentist is.

Thanks Shaylee!!! A pleasure working with you see you soon
I went for a dental cleaning and everything was perfect. The doctor was very kind and gave me the confidence to answer any questions I had. And he supports you with good recommendations, even if they're small, depending on your treatment. This is of utmost importance to me. He also made my retainers, and I was super comfortable. No discomfort at all. I will definitely return!! A clean place!!…

On the 1st day of my vacation in Playa del Carmen I bit on a tortilla chip and my front tooth veneer fell off. I was in shock since I love taking pictures on vacation and it is must to show my beautiful smile. After doing a lot of research for a Dentist in Playa del Carmen I choose Dr Gonzalo because of his raving positive reviews. Dr Gonzalo was extremely pleasant and friendly on phone. In person…

even better; kind, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Dr Gonzalo thoroughly explained the situation in a very clear and concise manner. A day later Dr Gonzalo even called to check if my veneer was still intact. I will definitely recommend Dr Gonzalo. As matter of fact, I will plan my future dental visits with Dr Gonzalo when on vacation in Playa del Carmen.

And now, a year later it's my turn to visit a dentist. We are back in Playa del Carmen and my 35 year old crowns were starting to bother me asthetically. I went to visit Dr. Gonzalo based on my husband's past experience and in only 2 weeks, I have a new smile. Four crowns replaced and 3 new veneers. The cost was very reasonable and the professionalism in preparing the molds for a perfect fit was…

outstanding. I am very happy and proud to show it. Only regret that I waited so long. Thanks again, see you next time. My husband lost a crown in Playa del Carmen. I made an appointment here based on previous reviews. It was exactly as advertised. Instant response to my text, asked if it was an emergency and the appointment booked accordingly. Easy to find, very professional, in and out. Fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Dr. Gonzola at Art Dent in Playa del Carmen was fabulous. Came down for vacation and decided to get a cleaning and whitening done now that I no longer have benefits in Canada. Great experience, teeth feel smooth and the whitening looks great. Will definitely be coming back next year. Thank you for your professionalism.
