Metal-Free Implants Los Algodones

Implant surgery was fast, clean, and stress-free. Dr. Veronica Castro handled everything in one visit with digital mapping. Had two implants placed. Fast, clean, and professional. Everyone speaks great English and actually listens to you. I walked out smiling and pain-free.

2 Root canals and 2 crowns, regular teeth cleaning. Pros: Excellent online reviews to date. Very friendly and courteous staff from dentists to all staff. Clean environment with 1 resident Orthodontist, 1 Endodontist, and 1 Implantologist. Not sure if periodontal service available. I presume the anesthesiologist service is subcontracted on as needed basis, as is an operating theater? Competitive pricing within the mid-price points compared to other clinics. Cons: No same day crown available as they do not have their own crown production lab. Next day is the earliest availability which requires overnight stay. No dental hygienist and dental cleaning is performed by an orthodontist. The work was somewhat rushed and uncomfortable. Room for improvement or hire a hygienist specialist. The dental assistants seemed less experienced and less aware of the patient’s discomfort. Readily apologises but repeatedly creates discomfort. Have to be told to stop. I think more training and experience will provide a great overall quality of service. There is NO pressure applied to have additional and or unnecessary procedures done and no incessant offer to go for more expensive Zirconium crowns that many clinics do. The dentists seldom gets involved with these tactics. Often promoted/pushed by the sales or clinic manager. The price list is not published online nor displayed in clinic. There is 4% commission service charge when using credit card. Not sure on the checks. Cash can be problematic when cost exceeds US$9,999 without currency declaration over amount which may possibly put the patient on the US customs inspection list for all future visits. Aside from clinic’s manager and dentists, the staff’s English is limited. An opportunity for patient that are non or less fluent in Spanish to learn some basic Spanish technical terms.

Dr. Carlos provided the needed correction that we were missing from prior visits. The arches are now secure and we are very happy. Thank you Dr Carlos!
