Excellent professionalism and treatment. I am very satisfied with my results. I am very grateful to Dr. Carlos Lapeira.
Excellent! I'm so happy with my teeth thanks to Dr. Carlos for his professionalism and the satisfaction of the final result, which was exactly what I expected!
Excellent service and a great professional. He treated me 15 years ago and today I'm back to bring my son.
An excellent professional using state-of-the-art materials and dedicated to his work, giving each patient the time they deserve. I was very satisfied with my orthodontic treatment. 100% recommended.

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 great service, and 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

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)
Dr. Carlos provided excellent service and demonstrated great expertise.
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.
Poor service

Good afternoon, this person is not a patient at our clinic and never has been. Therefore, this opinion is invalid.

Not everything that glitters is gold 👎 …
I've been seeing the doctor for almost 10 years. For as long as I can remember, Dr. Carlos has been the one who's been responsible for my smile. Today I'm so happy with everything he's done for me. I came in with crowded teeth, and now I have a perfect smile 🤩 I always remember when I was little and used to bite Erika 🤣.
I am a fairly demanding person and I can say that both Dr. Lapeira and his entire team exceed any expectations one might have, not only in results but also in attention 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 ✨✨✨
