Excellent service, attention, and team. Dr. Lapeira did a great job placing my implant and crown. Claudia always provided the best service, was very attentive, and readily available to schedule appointments.
Highly recommended. Excellent service from day one, a very friendly team ready to provide excellent service, and using top-quality equipment and tools. Very satisfied with the results!
I am so grateful to Dr. Lapeira and his entire team for helping me correct my teeth :) From the beginning, he was very clear about the options I had and the procedure to follow; it was two years of orthodontics and I am delighted with the results
I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Carlos Lapeira for his incredible work during my orthodontic treatment. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional commitment to finding the best solution for my case. Thanks to his experience and personalized approach, he was able to correct my problem without the need for maxillofacial surgery, something that initially seemed inevitable.…

Throughout the entire process, he was always clear, professional, and very attentive to my questions and needs. His dedication and skill not only transformed my smile but also prevented a complex surgical procedure. I am eternally grateful and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly skilled dentist. Thank you, Dr. Carlos!
Dental Tourism: A Personal Experience with Dr. Lapeira in Colombia All-on-6 dental implants in the US can be prohibitively expensive, typically ranging from $25,000 to $35,000 per jaw. This led me to explore dental tourism. While websites like "Dental Tourism" and "International Smiles" offer information, their high ratings for all dentists make it difficult to make informed choices.…

. Furthermore, their initial quotes often overlook crucial factors that can significantly impact the final cost and treatment outcome. This uncertainty can be daunting, especially when considering the logistical challenges of traveling abroad. My experience with Dr. Carlos Lapeira in Barranquilla, Colombia, however, was markedly different. Dr. Lapeira proactively engaged with me throughout the pre-visit process, communicating frequently and requesting detailed information, including photographs. He even recommended a bone scan, which surprisingly revealed sufficient bone density despite my extensive tooth loss. This proactive approach allowed for a realistic cost estimate upfront, including potential procedures like bone grafts, which can significantly increase the overall expense. Even with travel, accommodation, and meals factored in, the total cost was significantly lower than any comparable treatment in the US. Dr. Lapeira's wife, Sylvia, was invaluable in assisting with finding affordable lodging and even sourcing pureed food for the initial post-operative period, a crucial consideration as eating can be challenging during recovery. The actual procedures were performed by a highly skilled team, including Dr. Carlos Acevedo, who demonstrated exceptional expertise and a strong commitment to patient satisfaction. When several implants failed to integrate, Dr. Acevedo promptly replaced them at no additional cost. Dr. Alicia Díaz S., a talented prosthodontist, meticulously designed my new teeth, addressing my underbite and ensuring optimal function (room for my tongue) and aesthetics. The final result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional, with minimal food trapping. My experience with Dr. Lapeira and his team was exceptional. I believe I received high-quality care comparable to any US-based practice, but at a fraction of the cost. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lapeira and his team to anyone considering dental implant treatment. Sincerely, Paul Madeira (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)
My experience with Dr. Lapeira was incredible. I took my son to him last July on a recommendation, and the experience was truly excellent. He successfully completed my son's treatment without jaw surgery, something everyone thought he would need. I highly recommend him because his facilities are modern, and everyone from the receptionist to the assistants is very kind and willing to answer any…

questions we had. As a family, we were very satisfied with the results.
An excellent professional, he handled my sleep apnea case superbly. Along with other professionals, he greatly improved my breathing and even my facial harmony. He is attentive to detail and very focused on the treatment and well-being of his patients. Highly recommended.
I've been seeing the doctor for almost 10 years. For as long as I can remember, Dr. Carlos has held my smile in his hands. Today I'm HAPPY with everything he's achieved for me. I arrived with overcrowding, and today I have a perfect smile 🤩 Always remembering moments when I was little and biting Erika 🤣.
I am a very demanding person, and I can say that both Dr. Lapeira and his entire team exceed any expectations, not only in results but also in care and professionalism.

Thank you so much! We are here to serve you!
I arrived with a very large permanent retainer that was uncomfortable. Here I received excellent service where they replaced my retainer with a more modern technology and provided very rigorous follow-up, ensuring that my treatment was the best ✨✨✨

I cannot praise Dr. Lapeira enough. My friend and I came for extensive treatment. We were here for a month. Even before we boarded the plane they cared for us. They helped us rent an apartment less than two blocks from the clinic. There was a car and driver waiting at the airport. He and his wife treated us like family. But what really mattered was their dental care. My mouth was…

s suffering from years of neglect. I hadn't been able to eat solid food in months. They had a team of specialists. One did cleaning. An orthodontic surgeon did the implants and removed the roots and tooth fragments from a botched extraction done in the US. Another did the root canals (I needed 23). Another designed and fitted the crowns. Every step of the way they kept us informed and asked if we were happy with each procedure. The end result was magic. WAY beyond my expectations. The end result was priceless. I am not ashamed to smile anymore. I look 10 years younger. I'm not an emotional guy but it literally brought me to tears. They got it on video. LOL.

Steven, thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a deeply moving review. It was truly an honor to look after you and your friend during your time here in Barranquilla. Our goal at Carlos Lapeira Dental Studio has always been to provide a holistic experience—not just clinical care, but ensuring you felt supported and "at home" from the moment you landed until you were ready to fly back. It was a privilege for me and my dedicated team of specialists to work on your case. From the surgical implants and the endodontic work to the final restoration of your smile, we were fully committed to your comfort and health every step of the way. Knowing that we helped you regain the ability to eat, eat with confidence, and look in the mirror with joy is why we do what we do. That moment when you saw your final smile is a memory I will cherish forever—and I am so glad we have that video to look back on! Thank you for trusting us with your health and for allowing us to treat you like family. You are always welcome back, and we look forward to seeing that smile again soon.
My experience with the doctor has been excellent. A great professional. When I first came in for treatment, I had a crooked bite and could barely open my mouth. This improved greatly with the treatment, so I haven't had any problems since, almost 13 years after completing my treatment. 100% recommended. I still go regularly to have my retainers cleaned or serviced.
Thank you for everything, excellent service, very efficient staff, good facilities, the doctor is a professional committed to his patients, an excellent orthodontist, a great person.
I am very grateful to Dr. Lapeira and his staff for providing excellent service. My son had an excellent recovery after his surgery, with no discomfort and very little pain. Thank you very much 🙏🏻 …
Dr. Lapeira is an excellent professional. He provided comprehensive support for my daughter's treatment, and the results were excellent. He has a support group that always provides excellent care. Highly recommended!
I want to clarify that although the doctor is my cousin, I'm his patient because the care at his office is excellent. All the staff are very friendly and always have the best attitude and willingness to help achieve the best results.

I'm glad! Thank you so much, Diego
Excellent work! His experience and professionalism were evident in my daughter's very special and complicated case, achieving fabulous results.
