I am so pleased with the resultsVestaen, Argentina, 18 12 24

Excellent gum graft surgeon and surgery process. I am so pleased with the results. I was scared going into surgery (what if it didn't take?), but the doctor made me feel at ease and did a masterpiece with the gum graft, even without an assistant! (there was an emergency she had to take care of). I decided to get the surgery in CR in between many travel plans, and surprisingly, many friends were wary of my decision until they saw how beautifully it's all healed. Post care is also very important. I bought the recommended products, didn't need pain meds, had daily protein shakes, and cleaned after every meal with loving care. 10/10

AMAZING!!! I have just had another very satisfactory experience with Dr. Aura Nuñez at Premier Dental Clinic in Jaco, Costa Rica. The clinic is spotless, the staff is friendly, and the dental work is done with world-class professionalism. I am Canadian, and I have been visiting this dental clinic for years now, whenever the need arose. For many reasons, not the least of which being the prices, I sincerely recommend Dr. Aura and the rest of the kind staff at Premier Dental.
