First class quality dental services at Dr. Castro's office. Great group of people working together to reach a high level of excellence in dental care! William Hill (From Florida)
This practice is excellent in all respects, quality of care, efficiency of services and very considerate people. I had the dental work checked out by dentists in the US and they are clearly excellent at their craft!
I have been using Cleo Dental for 6 years. After 5 implants with Dr Anglada I had 8 crowns done with Dr Castro. All work was impeccable, I have had no problems with any of my teeth and it was a large savings compared to estimates I received in the US. The quality of care and work is the same.
My husband and I have been going to Cleo Dental in Costa Rica for several years. We are so please with the work and treatment we receive at Cleo. The doctors and the staff are wonderful. We have recommended Cleo to other family members and I know they also share our love for everyone at Cleo, The people of Costa Rica are warm and welcoming. The added bonus is that on the days you don't have…

I took a dental tourism trip here from the United States, and it has given me a new lease on life as far as my teeth are concerned. They squeezed a lot of work into a short period of time, and they charged me a price I could afford. Their work has treated me well so far, and now it is up to me take care of their work to make sure it was not in vain.

dr. Castro and his team have replaced six of my crowns. And I have had no complaints whatsoever. They do an exceptionally thorough job… All the staff are wonderful, compassionate kind and patient. But I would like to mention especially Dr. Irene. Not only was she all of the above, but she was also informative and gentle. I have a small mouth and very sensitive skin and I didn’t feel the needles…

I've been to CLEO Dental/Dr. Castro several times since 2010 and highly recommend this practice. Dr. Castro is highly skilled and has the latest technology and is a perfectionist. Located in a good safe area with great views from the 18th floor.

The staff were all caring, helpful and amazing! Drs Castro were both so informative, caring, gentle and walked us through the entire process. They took such good care of us! We will recommend them to anyone needing a dental procedure. Since…

Cleo dental is an amazing place. Top notch service. Smiling friendly faces. Attention to detail is exquisite. Follow ups after I am home. I got a complete upper and lower set of implants and now have the best teeth I've ever had and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. I consider myself very lucky to have come here. I also saved atleast 40k. I highly recommend, this place is the real…

I researched every country for medical dental tourism. San Jose, Costa Rica has earner the number one spot and Cleo Dental is by far the best. Everything state of the art. I got 11 implants at almost age 70, 7 on top and 4 on bottom . It would have been over $100,000 in the USA and less than a third that in San Jose. They have their own in-house lab. Th detail and expertise and care is phenomenal.…

So far my experience with Dr Cleo and his whole staff has been the best of the best. The cost for Invisalign was much less than what I would pay in the US for the same service. I would highly recommend their services and have told many friends to visit them for all their dental needs!

I have been a patient of the Doctors Castro since 2019, and I have full confidence in the professionalism and expertise of every member of the Cleo Dental staff. I have never felt so comfortable in a dental office or believed so strongly in the concern of every staff member for the wellbeing of every patient. And I couldn’t be more pleased with the restorative dental care I received.

I have been going to Dr. Castro now for 17 years, mostly for crowns and bridges to be placed on implants. I have always found him and his staff to be very professional, friendly and caring and to do very good work.

I live in Ft Lauderdale, Florida and I have been coming to CLEO Dental to see Drs Castro for my dental needs since I first learned about them while on vacation in Costa Rica in 2018. Their professional services are first class and are provided in a state of the art facility with a beautiful view of San Jose and the surrounding mountains, all at a fraction of the cost of the same services in the…

Thank you so much Joseph for sharing your experience! We’re truly honored that you’ve continued to trust Dr. Castro and our team since 2018. It means a lot to know that each visit has been worth the trip from Ft. Lauderdale. We take great pride in offering high-level care in a setting that’s both modern and calming — and we’re so glad you’ve enjoyed the view as much as the treatment itself. We look forward to welcoming you back whenever you need us. Thank you again for being part of our CLEO family!
I love this dental practice. They are very kind.and helpful but most of all the quality is superior. I did tons of research before coming to Costa Rica and selected my doctors for their high quality. My husband and I have made many return visits when we needed care because this group can’t be beat here or in the USA.

My experience with the Cleo Clinic has been nothing short of fantastic ! The team at the clinic are warm and so inviting ! I've been a patient of Dr Castro's for almost 20 years !! When you arrive in San Jose Costa Rica you will be greeted at the airport by a driver ( sent by the Clinic ) nice touch 👍 The Clinic will also help you with accommodations close by them. All I can say is the…

My experience with Cleo Dental was amazing. It started with Lindsay Martin and Wendy Cruz, whom set my appointment and arranging the Hotel stay. Also providing the name, phone number and a photo of the private driver they provide. When you get off the plane you feel like Rock Star, as Sebastián is hold a sign with your name on it. Sebastián is very personable, providing a wealth of information…

on the area as he drives you to your Hotel. The next morning driving me to first appointment. I was warmly greeted by both Lindsay and Wendy. Then Dr. Irene Salgada, with her gental hands started my consultation also introducing me to Dr Juliana and Dr Castro. I got the All on 6 and I'm so impressed with the whole experience. And I saved 10's of thousands of dollars, I'd gotten quotes on the All on 4 from Tampa, Ft Myers and Miami Florida. My advice to anyone needing Dental work done. Is don't wait, get it done.

Everything about my experience at Cleo Dental was five stars! The staff are so helpful and go above and beyond to take great care of you - they picked me up at the airport, provided hotel recommendations/discounts, helped me arrange for solo transportation from Guanacaste to San Jose (gracias por todo Sebastián), made sure I got to my departing flight on time, and so much more. I worked with Dra.…

Juliana, who was wonderful. She is a genius and did everything possible to make my extensive dental work as comfortable as it could be, including delivering medication personally to my hotel so I didn’t have to spend a night in pain. My crowns are beautiful and very natural looking. I had a special request to have a diamond in one of my crowns, and it turned out beautifully after a lot of extra work by the staff. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent dental results.

like valued guests rather than just patients. The treatment itself was exceptional, but what truly set them apart was the level of care that went far beyond the dental chair. They arranged transportation for us, provided all necessary medications, and even surprised us with ice cream after surgery – those thoughtful touches made all the difference during recovery. The post-op care was extraordinary. I experienced some discomfort over the weekend, and without hesitation, the doctor came to the clinic on a Sunday just to check on me. Then, when I needed another follow-up, he came in again on Costa Rica's Independence Day – a major national holiday when the clinic was closed. That level of dedication is simply unheard of, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing I was in such caring hands. And let's talk about the cost – it's almost unbelievable how affordable the treatment is compared to what you'd pay elsewhere, without any compromise on quality. The combination of world-class dental work, five-star service, and incredible value makes this a no-brainer. If you're on the fence about booking with Cleo Dental, take it from someone who's been there: take the leap. You'll receive outstanding care in beautiful Costa Rica, and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Thank you, Cleo Dental, for an absolutely care-free and wonderful experience!
