I'm whole again and it feels so natural, like my teeth looked when I was a young manBrandon, US, 11 09 24

I recently travelled to Costa Rica to meet an unusual man, whom I came to admire, a dentist with integrity , talent vision , knowledge, experience and a passion to achieve exellence in every form of dentistry he excels in. I researched many dental clinics in several countries.I was in contact,regularly, with at least seven dentists and dental coordinators, listening, learning basic terminology etc. I chose Costa Rica Dental Clinic. I was impressed from the very beginning, but as my research progressed Dr. Gadea and his highly trained and efficient staff were like a beacon in the in the fog. I had a full mouth of zirconia crowns custom fit and adheard to my existing teeth with precision accuracy. I'm whole again and it feels so natural, like my teeth looked when I was a young man full himself with large healthy teeth until I ground them down by grinding them all day and in my sleep, often grinding my teeth to comfort me to sleep. Dr Gadea and his staff exude calm excellence while shining like the pros they are. I followed my mind and my heart and Im ecstatic with my self about that as well as the big beautiful super human set of teeth.

He fixed my tooth painlessly and professionallyJohn, Costa Rica, 10 02 22

Chipped my front tooth during a vacation in Guanacaste. I contacted Dr. Diego at 10am Wednesday morning and he had me booked in later that day at 2pm. Other dentists I contacted said they couldn’t assess the tooth until the next week. Dr. Diego understood the urgency in my situation and made room for me in his schedule right away and I’m truly thankful. From the moment I walked into Dr.Diego’s office, I felt at ease. He walked me through exactly what was needed and gave his professional advice. He fixed my tooth painlessly and professionally. Since my experience was incredibly seamless and professional, I decided to book Dr.Diego to complete a full crown for me (which I had been delaying on in Canada). I am now revisiting Dr.Diego later this month to complete the rest of my dental work! I absolutely recommend Dr. Diego
