Ford Clinic Dental Spa is a premier multi-specialty dental clinic located in Panama City, Panama, renowned for combining clinical excellence with a luxury spa-like patient experience. The clinic is led by Dr. Richard Ford, a periodontist who obtained his dental degree from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1984, subsequently completing his specialist training in periodontics at Louisiana State University School of Dentistry in the United States. With more than 40 years of professional experience, Dr. Ford has built Clínica Ford into one of the most recognised dental practices in Central America, attracting both local and international patients to Panama City.
The clinic operates from the prestigious Royal Center Building in the Marbella neighbourhood of Panama City — directly opposite Paitilla Hospital — offering exceptional views and an upscale clinical environment. Ford Clinic Dental Spa has positioned itself as a specialist destination for patients seeking dental implants, periodontal treatment, aesthetic dentistry, and full-mouth rehabilitation, backed by a team of specialists across multiple dental disciplines. Panama City's role as a leading medical tourism hub in Latin America makes the clinic particularly accessible to patients from North America, South America, and beyond.
Ford Clinic Dental Spa offers a comprehensive range of treatments across all major dental specialties:
Ford Clinic Dental Spa is described as one of the most modern and technologically advanced dental facilities in Central America. The clinic is equipped with digital diagnostic imaging, advanced implant placement systems, and high-precision restorative tools that enable the team to deliver outcomes matching international standards. The facility's interior is specifically designed to evoke a spa environment — with carefully considered lighting, décor, and amenities intended to reduce patient anxiety and transform the dental visit into a comfortable, even pleasurable experience. Located on the 10th floor of Royal Center Tower A in Panama City, the clinic enjoys a prestigious address that reflects its positioning as a premium dental destination.
Ford Clinic Dental Spa stands out among Panama City's many dental practices for several compelling reasons:
The patient experience at Ford Clinic Dental Spa in Panama City is shaped by the clinic's founding philosophy: that dental care should be delivered in an environment of beauty, calm, and comfort. From the moment of arrival at the Royal Center premises, patients encounter a setting more reminiscent of a luxury spa than a conventional clinic. The clinical team is multilingual, with consultations available in Spanish and English, making the practice particularly welcoming for international patients visiting Panama City for dental tourism. The clinic provides support for patients coordinating their travel and treatment schedules, and Panama City's extensive range of hotels, restaurants, and attractions makes it straightforward to combine a course of dental treatment with an enjoyable stay.
Ford Clinic Dental Spa is located at Royal Center Building, Tower A, 10th Floor, Marbella, Panama City, Panama — directly opposite Paitilla Hospital, in one of Panama City's most prestigious commercial and medical districts. The Marbella neighbourhood is centrally positioned within Panama City, close to the financial district, Cinta Costera seafront promenade, and major hotels. Panama City is served by Tocumen International Airport, a major Latin American hub with direct flights from the United States, Canada, Europe, and across the Americas.

Excellent service from all the staff, and especially from Dr. Richard Ford, who, with his knowledge and gentle touch, resolved a problem I thought was unsolvable. 👏🏻 Highly recommend …

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If I could give six stars, I would! While traveling in Panama from USA, I lost the crown of my tooth and needed urgent care. Most dentists weren’t available, but by sheer luck we found Dr. Ford—and it turned out to be the best decision ever. He immediately took us in, placed implants for both me, and completely transformed our smiles. He speaks English fluently, his team is professional and caring, and the whole process felt smooth and stress-free. Now I can eat comfortably, sleep peacefully, and smile with confidence again. Dr. Ford didn’t just fix my teeth—he gave me back my quality of life. Absolutely grateful. 🙏 If you’re in Panama and need dental work, don’t look anywhere else. This is the dentist you’ve been searching for.

Clinica Ford is excellent. You get what you pay for. The attention to me and my case was genuine and thorough. He listened intently to my history that has led to my anxiety, situational and hormonal, and made me feel like he truly cared about my well being. Dr. Ford asked for tests to diagnose what was causing me to clench my teeth so hard OUTSIDE of the reason I was there, to rule out periodontal disease. Not many doctors go this extra step to help you be your healthiest self.

They always greet you with a smile, and everyone is very attentive and special, from the receptionist to Dr. Aurora. They are very patient and attentive to the special needs of patients on the autism spectrum. Thank you!

I was quoted $35 for a simple filling over the phone and then charged $165 after the procedure. Total rip-off. Most expensive dental clinic in Panama, cheaper to get work done in North America.

Response from the owner 2 years agoDear Mr Turner. Thank you for your comments. I am sorry there might have been a misunderstanding. Your post comes as a big surprise since we do not give quotes for fillings over the phone. The reason is there is a wide range of possible options (extent, material, difficulty, etc), and prices vary accordingly. Please rest assure that our prices are well within those of any specialized practice.
