I had such an amazing experience at this dental office and I truly can’t recommend them enough. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with genuine kindness and professionalism, which immediately put me at ease. The entire staff was welcoming, warm, and attentive, and you can tell they really care about their patients. The doctor was especially wonderful. He took the time to explain everything…

g clearly and thoroughly, which made a huge difference for me. I never felt rushed or confused — every step of the process was walked through in a way that was easy to understand, and all of my questions were answered with patience and respect. That level of communication is so rare and so appreciated, especially when it comes to something as important as your dental health. What stood out the most was how comfortable and cared for I felt. Going to the dentist can be stressful, but this experience was completely different. The doctor was gentle, reassuring, and truly focused on making sure I felt safe and confident throughout my visit. It’s obvious that he takes pride in his work and genuinely wants the best for his patients. I left feeling relieved, informed, and very happy with the care I received. If you are looking for a dentist who is kind, knowledgeable, and truly takes the time to explain things and treat you like a person—not just another appointment—this is the place to go. I will absolutely be returning, and I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Dr. Torres is one of the best dentist I have ever met. He took the time to make sure everything was perfect on my husband’s mouth. And it was LOT! Dr Torres and his team are absolutely top-notch. It is amazing to see Matthew smile again. The care and time that the entire staff put into the amazing result that Matthew had was hands down the Best treatment he could’ve ever gotten. If you are…

I got a same day appointment as I was only in San Jose for a short time. Dr. Esteban Torres speaks very well English and is kind and calm. The procedure was done effectively. I recommend highly!

I really liked that they don't rush you or treat you like a number. They take their time, explain everything, and the atmosphere is super calm. It's a pleasure to go to the dentist when they make you feel that way. Everyone is very professional. Thank you.

Seym Jimenez via Google 5.0 out of 5
The last time I went to the dentist, I left feeling quite worse for wear and tear, both in my mouth and in the way I was treated. And that definitely didn't help me keep up with my dental health. Yesterday, the care at Art Dental was like a breath of fresh air amidst how intimidating that visit could be for me. And that's what they achieve from the moment Melissa calls you, making you feel…

welcome. Dr. Esteban is calm and empathetic. And everyone on the team is professional, kind, and very human. In a world of artificial intelligence and increasingly impersonal care, how important it is to find a friendly team, a space where you receive both fresh air and human warmth. A place to breathe, to relax, to trust.

Andrea Araya via Google 5.0 out of 5
My experience with the care I received from Dr. Natalia and Dr. Esteban was excellent. Without a doubt, they stand out for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment; it's clear they have a true passion for their profession. From the beginning of the consultation, you feel very comfortable, and they clearly explain the entire treatment process. I will definitely return.

Excellent service; they helped me at the last minute and were incredibly attentive in every way. I highly recommend them for their service and quality. I came from Canada for a family visit and booked the appointment with the doctor at the last minute. They saw me in despite the late notice. They were extremely attentive, and the service was outstanding. I will definitely be returning when I'm…

Esteban Alpízar via Google 1.0 out of 5
The cleaning was a bit painful, and they performed a checkup without telling me the cost beforehand (even though they mentioned it, they were never clear about the cost of the checkup). We know that in Costa Rica, it's common practice to have an evaluation after any procedure (don't be fooled into thinking this is standard practice at all dentists), and the reimbursement form was signed by someone…

other than the dentist who performed the procedure, which made me doubt their professional status since they didn't sign as such. It's also incorrect for someone to fill out a form without having performed the treatment; the treating dentist should fill it out. The requirement for a prescribing dentist doesn't exist in private insurance. I'm suspicious of the evaluations because they called me several times suggesting I delete this post.

The professional who treated you was Dr. Natalia Arias, a duly registered and up-to-date orthodontist. She has the necessary training and experience to provide high-quality dental care. The reimbursement form was signed by me, Dr. Esteban Torres, the clinic's managing dentist, as I am responsible for all insurance procedures, as permitted by current regulations.

Going to the dentist always makes me nervous, but this time was different. The doctor was very thorough, patient, and exuded a calm energy that made me feel in good hands. He answered all my questions clearly and without rushing. It was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had.

I just had an emergency while on vacation in Costa Rica. They treated me wonderfully. Not only did they resolve the emergency, but I'm also leaving with the best impression of the clinic. I want to return for a consultation and follow their recommendations.

Dr. Natalia is very kind when she treats you. She explains your questions in detail and addresses every important aspect during the consultation. She is extremely professional, has excellent manners, knows her area of ​​expertise, and builds trust with her patients. I recommend her; her care and service are excellent. She even taught me how to brush and floss properly (just like in school). Same…

Throughout my dental treatment, I received some of the best support from the clinic's doctors. Their professionalism was evident in every detail, without neglecting their human qualities. They always explained each step of the process to me, and days later, they were always attentive to my recovery and answered any questions I had.

Amazingly talented young Orthodontists, well mannered well educated and savvy in their fields. A beautiful and well decorated minimalist clinic as clean as 5 stars restaurant table, a very on top receptionist making sure everything is taking care of, starting with the appointment and all through the treatment. Located in an upscale little strip mall, always parking available, which in Costa Rica…
