Dr. Alicia and the team at Dental Solutions went above and beyond. They successfully performed a complex repair on a dental bridge that multiple U.S. dentists told me was impossible — insisting the entire bridge had to be replaced. Dental Solutions proved them wrong. The result exceeded my expectations, and saying I’m happy doesn’t begin to capture my gratitude.

I had a great experience with Dr. Serrano and her excellent team. The clinic is brand new and state-of-the-art, and they were able to get me in the same day. I will definitely return to Dental Solutions for future dental work!

I love Dr. Alicia Serrano @ dental solutions!! My husband and I go to the dentist on vacation! Very beautiful upscale dental office with state of the art products! I could have gone to sleep during my composite filing and cleaning, no anesthetic or novocaine! The dental tech was great! The front office girls are very nice and got me right in and out!

Excellent service! Very clean and efficient practice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Was able to fit me in with minimal notice. Was very thorough, professional, kind and detailed. Would definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Serrano, Alicia. I have had a couple of bad experiences with dentists in the past and Alicia had me walking out with confidence after quite a bit of work. I had 4 root canals and crowns on my molars. plus a little restorative work done. My friend said they look perfect and I agree. Alicia was very gentle and so focused, like an artist doing what they love. And she…

let me practice my horrible Spanish. She speaks quite a bit of English as well. I would never find this kind of care back in the US. Plus, the crowns were ready in a little over a week compared to 3 weeks in the states. And I saved money! The office was very clean and their equipment was better than my dentist’s back home. I highly recommend. I will be coming back for any major work needed. Her assistant, Jay (not sure how to spell his name) was wonderful too.

Dr. Serano treated me twice in her practice, and both times the care was excellent. Her modern, spacious, and spotlessly clean office makes you forget that you are at a dentist’s office at all. Large windows and the view of a beautiful, stately tree had a very calming effect on me. Dr. Serano works with an exceptionally calm and confident hand and takes the time to get to the root of every…

problem. There is no sense of rush or pressure from waiting patients. I will gladly return, and for the first time in my life, I am actually looking forward to my next dental appointment.

I had a challenging dental situation recently and was so fortunate to have Alicia Serrano and her team help with the attention I needed. She has a beautiful state of the art office in Tamarindo and was quick to respond to my issues and clearly explain all I needed to do with great compassion. My family and I are all happy to have her as our dentist.

Very good dentist, and super convenient location near the supermarket.

Yesterday I completed my medical journey, which began last September. In September, the fantastic Dr. Esteban Cascante operated on me, removing old, obsolete implants and placing new ones in both my upper and lower jaws. When Dr. Alicia Serrano and Dr. Estaban Cascante proposed a single surgery, in a single session, I was a little worried, given my venerable age of 69... and the type of invasive…

surgery. But I placed myself in their hands and their experience with complete trust. And I did very, very well! Everything was perfect (even the general anesthesia administered by the fantastic anesthesiologist!)! The recovery was truly quick and painless, and I was always looked after at every step and for every need by the wonderful Dr. Alicia and her incredible staff, Dr. Nico and Assistant Jay! And so the months necessary for healing passed, and we began the aesthetic process. And here, the fantastic Dr. Erick Diaz, with innovative technological tools and human experience, restored a smile that I had lost and forgotten! I'm truly happy to have found this medical team who cared for me with such professionalism and expertise, but also with so much love and consideration, which, in the end, is also very important for us patients! A special thank you to the truly dear Dr. Alicia for always supporting me in my well-being and health! Pura vida!

I fractured my jaw in a scooter accident, and Dr. Alicia Serrano showed extraordinary kindness. She repaired my teeth so I could fly again and even had Dr. Josué Iménez, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, come to her office to immobilize my mouth. Exemplary service that Quebec could learn from!

Thank you Isabelle, I hope you recover soon. My whole team thanks you and sends you lots of greetings and best wishes for your recovery 💪💪

My husband suddenly had a lot of dental work to be done and through a little research found out that dental work in Costa Rica was a lot cheaper that in the US. Since I had always wanted to go to Costa Rica, I decided to tag along with my 21-year-old son who also needed some work. Among us, we had two bridges (which required 4 crowns), two more crowns, two root canals, a temporary filling…

replacement, several cavities, a cleaning and a whitening...in the US it would have cost us $25-$30K even with some dental insurance! We found Dr. Alicia Serrano and talked about what could be done and how long it would take. We booked a 12-day stay in wonderful Tamarindo and all 3 of us had the best experience with a dentist ever and we got all the work completed efficiently and with the least amount of discomfort I could have imagined. Total cost was under $10K so our trip was paid for and then some. Communication through the whole process was excellent (we don't speak much Spanish). Highly recommend!!!

Stefan “Halterschule” via Google 5.0 out of 5
This is the very best dentist in all of Costa Rica, if not the world!! I've been to so many dentists in my life, but I've never met anyone so empathetic, conscientious, friendly, and helpful. All dentists should learn from her and take a leaf out of her book!! 1000% recommended!!!! Amazing team, thank you so much!

The service they provide is excellent. They see and consider the patient as a whole, not just as a tooth. The doctors are extremely professional and responsible, as well as humane. The clinic uses the latest dental technologies on the market, and the view while they perform the procedures is magical. Highly recommended. You leave with your problems resolved and eager to come back for more. Thank…

Had a feeling Crack and a new crown too high. Doctor Gina Salazar took care of me quickly, and her work is amazing. From the moment she saw what I needed down, she truly showed that she cared, and even after the treatment, she reached back and asked me if everything was good! I would say she is one of the best dentists I have ever visited. Pura Vida!

Dr. Serrano was great and was able to get me in for a cleaning while I was in town for a surf trip. During the cleaning she also discovered a small cavity and another tooth that needed some enamel worth. All work was completed quickly, painlessly, and for less than half of what it would have cost me in the US.

Hi Eric, thank you very much for your comment.

I had a filling done with Dental Solutions and my dentist back in NY said it was perfect. 7 months later filling is still 100%. Highly recommend. She is professional and gentle. Great bedside manner.

I’m from the US and couldn’t be more happy with the results. I had issues with two molars at once while here in Costa Rica (weird coincidence) and Dr Alicia was literally the best dental experience I’ve had with fillings and in this case a broken tooth. She was excellent. I told her she was my new dentist moving forward. Seriously the cost of the flight is worth it. The price was very…

Terrible service. You go to schedule an appointment, and if you speak to the doctor in Spanish and she answers in English, she leaves you waiting on the couch in the hallway for half an hour to check availability, and she never comes out to give an answer. It seems she only wants to serve Caucasian clients.

I had to have a crown replaced while in Costa Rica. my wife called the doctor's office and made an appointment for me the next day. I arrived at the office early. She saw me at my appointment time which never happens in dental offices in the USA. She was very pleasant and spoke great English. She quickly examine me and reattached my crown. her bedside manner was very good and she was very…

informative as to the crown replacement. In all it cost me $65 us. Then incredibly cheap price. if you're in this area Costa Rican need dental work I highly recommend her or if you need dental work come down to Costa Rica and get your work done cheap but professional. On a side note while sitting in the examination chair the wall is made of glass and you have a beautiful view of the Pacific ocean in front of you

Kartik Vyas via Google 5.0 out of 5
I had the unfortunate luck of cracking my tooth mid flight on my way to Tamarindo for the start of our family vacation in Costa Rica. Normally a cracked tooth would be cause for concern for anyone flying to a new country and also the idea of having a cracked tooth while on vacation would affect ones ability to enjoy the local cuisine or any food for that matter. In my case I was very fortunate…

as I came across Dra. Alicia Serrano. Making an appointment was very easy and she was able to see me within a day of my arrival to Tamarindo. Dra Serrano examined my tooth and provided me with options and associated risks to treat the tooth. Once I made my choice, Dra Serrano treated me and provided instructions for further treatment once I was home. My experience here was excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking dental assistance in Tamarindo!
