My Experience with Dental Tourism Colombia After recently completing dental work with Dr. Oliver at Dental Tourism …

Brian, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Dr. Julio Oliver! We are thrilled to hear about your exceptional journey and how we exceeded your expectations. Providing outstanding service, efficient logistics, and … More
Dr. Oliver and his entire staff are amazing. I got a 6 month routine cleaning and polishing done back in February. I was stressed because I was dealing with my gums bleeding. After my cleaning was done I was told there was a lot of plaque from not flossing and only using a waterpik. I was not unaware I could floss since I got my veneers done in Medellin from another doctor and was told not to…

o floss, because of my margins being tight. He told me to floss. I stopped using the water pik and started flossing nightly before brushing with Dr. Tung’s floss from Amazon and my teeth are no longer bleeding like they were before and feel better than ever. Thank you so much! When I need to replace my veneers in 10 years or when I vacation in Cartagena. I am only booking with Dr. Oliver. He’s number 1! I highly recommend him. You will not have any regrets! God Bless you and your staff!

I found Dr. Julio Oliver’s dental practice when I googled dental implant in Columbia. I decided on Cartagena and his name based on his biography. I took a leap of faith and went to Columbia for my dental work. Dr. Oliver was very thorough and explained everything that needed to be done in order to have a beautiful smile. The price was so much less than what I would have paid in the US or the…

Bahamas. Claudia was the liaison person who made all the arrangements for me. W{hen I arrived in Cartagena, they had an English speaking driver, Carlos, collect me from the airport and take me to my hotel. Carlos was responsible for taking me to my numerous dental appointments and to take me back to the airport at the end of my trip. The procedure was done in 2 phases. i stayed for 1 week to complete the 1st phase. I always had a fear of the part where the dentist has to anesthetize the area. I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle Dr. Oliver was and I didn’t feel any pain. His assistant, Angie explained everything that was done afterwards and what to expect during the healing process. Everything went as planned and I returned home to await the 2nd phase. Despite a minor complication at home where I sought the assistance of a local dentist, I returned to Cartagena months later to complete the 2nd and final phase of my work. It was a lovely reunion and he and Angie welcomed me again. I had to stay for 2 weeks in order for the dental work to be created. In between my visit, I took the time to tour the picturesque city of Cartagena. This hotel was located across the street from Dr. Oliver’s office which made it very convenient when the work was completed early. I simply walked across the street to have my dental appointment. I had 2 days remaining to ensure that I was satisfied and had no issue with the implant. I was totally satisfied and made my final payment and thanked them for my beautiful smile. Angela always called to check up on me and that everything was going well. She did this during both of my visits and reassured me whenever I felt concerned about anything. Dr Oliver would address it immediately. I would definitely recommend Dr. Julio Oliver and his team if you need dental work done.

Good experience and I am sure if I went more times that I would see even more result but overall happy with the service and price and the appointment was honored dispute being 10-15 min late because the place is a little difficult to find (unmarked building) but overall very nice experience from USA to CartiG

Thank you for coming to beautiful Cartagena, Colombia for your dental care. Welcome to the Happy Smile Club! Your teeth look wonderful. We were glad to do the dental work and to be your dentist.
I called on Thursday to schedule a cleaning for the following Friday morning, scheduling was pretty straight forward. The process was effortless in and out in an hour, no problems. I was even able to get further consultation; I will most likely be doing my root canal and two crowns here in the next few months.

We were happy to do the dental cleaning for you and are looking forward to seeing you soon for your root canal and dental crowns. Thank you Renford!
Traveled to Colombia for vacation and decided to get some dental work done (cleaning and whitening). The staff was very professional and friendly, and the facility was very clean and comfortable. Best dental experience I've had. I would highly recommend this practice for dental work. Also, the prices were unbeatable!!
