Confidence in the reading: Medium

Last written 2 May 2026

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

7/10

4.98/5 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).

Treatment quality

8/10

Dr. Mauricio Montero: AAID member, Costa Rican Board since 1995, 6,000+ implant cases, 40+ international training seminars. ADA/FDA-approved implants only. In-house lab for digital smile design. Multiple doctors on team.

Cleanliness

8/10

Multiple reviewers cite 'state-of-the-art' and 'very technologically advanced'. In-house dental lab. No hygiene complaints found. Digital dentistry infrastructure suggests modern environment.

Team

8/10

Dr. Mauricio Montero (lead, AAID, 29yr), Dr. Carlos Barrantes (DDS, ULACIT), Dr. Rita Solis. Three named doctors across 50 reviews. US/Canada toll-free line (+1 844-385-9783) implies English-speaking international patient capability.

Price value

9/10

Up to $40,000 savings on full-mouth implants vs North American prices claimed. Costa Rica is established 50-70% savings destination for US/Canadian patients. Free quotation system. No published price list.

Tourist suitability

8/10

US toll-free number, dedicated dental tourism packages, Paseo Colon area of San Jose. In-house lab reduces number of visits required. Strong Costa Rica dental tourism infrastructure at national level.

What comes up well

  • Dr. Montero: American Academy of Implant Dentistry member, 6,000+ implant cases
  • ADA/FDA-approved implants only - important quality assurance for tourists
  • In-house dental lab with digital smile design - fewer visits needed
  • US/Canada toll-free number (+1 844-385-9783) - dedicated tourist channel
  • 29 years in operation, Costa Rican Board registered since 1995

Points to weigh

  • All 50 sampled reviews are vague 5-star with no specific treatment details - authenticity signal unclear

I feel very comfortable with the Montero Smile Art Clinic. They have affordable prices and the payment method helps you get the work done. They have their own laboratory and the professionals make you feel comfortable. I have smiled again with the procedure they performed on me. I highly recommend Dr. Susana.
