Excellent care!!! I made an appointment for a bruxism problem. They gave me an appointment promptly, and the care was very professional.

Thanks you so much
Dr Gonzalo Leiva at Art-Dent was the best dentist ! He is so kind and extremely gentle! I broke a crown while on vacation and he removed the broken tooth and replaced it with a new crown the same day! His communication is excellent and he has state of the art Cerec mill machine to create the crown of he same day! He used a scanner instead of using old style impressions My new crown fits…

Excellent experience at ArtDent with Dr. Gonzalo Leiva. Very professional, kind, and reassuring. He works with precision and confidence, and the clinic is spotless with very modern equipment. He repaired a broken tooth (filling) and also prepared another molar for a crown. The anesthesia was almost painless, didn’t leave my whole mouth numb, and wears off completely shortly after I leave. A couple…

of days later, the crown, manufactured right in the clinic, was ready. I’m amazed at how perfectly it matches my other teeth, and it basically snaps into place like a Lego block. After cementing it, it’s as if the molar was never broken. I’m extremely satisfied with his work, without a doubt, the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Very highly recommended.
Dr. Gonzalo is extremely competent and professional. During my vacation in Playa del Carmen, I visited his office for a dental cleaning, and the experience exceeded my expectations. My teeth feel much better, and I am extremely grateful for the excellent care I received. Thank you, Dr. Gonzalo.

Came here to get my teeth cleaned and it was awesome! I’m American, and been down here in playa for a few months. This was a better experience than I’ve had in many of my years in the states.

Thank you very much, Kevin! It's been a pleasure helping you! Best regards!
We used Art dent for a teeth cleaning for my wife and a new bridge for myself. The whole experience was very professional. My new bridge cost 50 % less then the states and the new bridge is fantastic . I also like the fact that the doctor does all his own work and has a 3 D printer, it only took 7 days to get my bridge fitted, made and installed. We would use Art Dent again.

Dr. Gonzalo is very caring and truly a professional. I got a root canal, and a filling with a post plus a cleaning done at his office. The office is very clean and modern with all the new equipment. I would definitely go back on my next trip to Playa.

2 months after my 2 visits to Gonzalo and I'm very happy with my new crown. I had Xrays, digital mapping, a temporary crown, and then returned for my permanent crown 10 days later. The fit was perfect and had no pain or infection. Very satisfied with Gonzalos advice and quality work. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Gonzalo!!

Thanks so much, Dan! I'm so glad everything is going so well! Best regards, and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
My wife and I were in Playa Del Carmen for a vacation and almost immediately after landing she began having pain from a wisdom tooth. She has always had a very difficult time with dental procedures and she always needs anesthesia to not feel pain. It was determined a root canal was needed and an arrangements were made to have a specialist there to perform the root canal and an anesthesiologist…

as well. Everything went very smoothly with no pain and a few days later preparations were made for a crown and a few days after that a crown was affixed to her tooth. Dr Gonzalo did a fantastic job and my wife is extremely happy and grateful that everything went so well and we were able to enjoy a wonderful time together there.
