I was on vacation in Cartagena and decided to get my teeth cleaned. I found DTC online and contacted them. I received a reply back within the hour and was booked immediately. Claudia sent me everything I needed and I had a great experience and most of all the price was great. I would definitely use Claudia and her services again.

Elliot Damashek via Google 5.0 out of 5
Overall, we had a good experience here! The dental cleaning was $50 per person. Staff spoke English. The only constructive criticism we have is that the flossing technique during the cleaning could be better (by hugging the teeth and pulling up).
Reply from the clinic

We're glad to hear you had a positive overall experience with us! Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll certainly work on improving our flossing technique to ensure even better care in the future. Thank you for choosing us for your dental cleaning in Cartagena!
