This clinic is a high tec place, just what I would think a XXI century dental clinic would look like. The team is amazing, very friendly and professional people. The location is also very good, in front of La Sabana Park where I went for a lovely walk. I recommend ConfiDental to everyone who wants a flawless dental treatment.

I am 68 years old and from Texas. I found Confidental online and was impressed by their great website and Dr. Garita's credentials. I had to get my bite corrected and wanted a better solution than the veneers I had. Dr. Garita and his staff were incredible. He explained what I needed and his treatment plan. I got all of my teeth crowned and they look very natural. Kathy V. was my patient…

coordinator and was amazing at suggesting hotels, places to go and setting up our transportation. I am extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Confidental. The cost savings is incredible and they use the same equipment and technology as in Houston. Costa Rica is a safe and beautiful country. The office is next to La Sabana Park, so stay close by at a hotel the office suggests.

wow!!! I highly recommend Dr. Jose and his team!! They are more like a family than a team. First time I contacted Kathy she was very professional and helpful... it was even better after going to Confidental, On my first trip they did a more thorough exam of my mouth than my dentist did here. Dr. Jose probably extended my life or maybe even saved it. I had 4 teeth that need root canals that even…

my local dentist was not aware of. After an x-ray he asked me if I had sinus problems, I said for years! He found that my cavities that were filled in my teens were in place but were in need of a root canal, they were a fail. I had an infection not painful and I never noticed. the infection was poisoning my system. The team members that did my 4 root canals gave me a local anesthetic turned on music and started to sing...... I fell asleep thru 4 root canals...who knew??? My next rip I brought my family as a dental vacation. Amazing. The team was very fast on all my procedures I had a full upper mouth crown replacement and 3 Implants done in 3 Days without any pain. My daughter got swimmers ear. the team got here to a doctor right away and got here the medication she needed to fly home. My new teeth are amazing! I am so glad I contacted Confidental, Cathy, Dr.Jose, the team and Marco!!!! We love you !! Todd Dina And Sophia.
