Overall score
Montero Smile Art is a well-credentialed San Jose implantology clinic with AAID membership, 29 years of experience, and clear dental tourism infrastructure for North American patients. The review base is almost entirely local Spanish-speaking patients which limits confidence in tourist-specific experience, but the credentials and infrastructure are solid.
Authenticity
7/104.98/5 from 50 sampled reviews (354 total). Predominantly Spanish-language Costa Rican locals. No North American dental tourist reviews visible in sample. All reviews vague and positive - triggers all-5-star pattern concern (-1 authenticity).

I've been going to Montero Smile Art for two years or more now, and it's truly been a wonderful experience. They say beauty comes at a price, but the results are amazing. You can't even feel the veneers they put in; they feel like they're your own. I highly recommend them. I'm a total dentist phobia, but I LOVE THEM. Thank you so much.
Excellent service!! Super pleasant atmosphere, the professionals are super friendly, I recommend them!!
From day one, the treatment has been friendly. They are undoubtedly leaders thanks to their customer service, technology, and the experience of their doctors. The confidence they instill is unparalleled. The clinic is quiet and the offices are spacious, demonstrating their commitment to quality and patient well-being. I hope I don't go back due to a crisis, but I will gladly go every six months…
