The entire staff is great and I highly recommend this clinic

5 50 Dental Implants

I contacted Pacific Dental Clinic via WhatClinic and set an appointment for
a consultation, evaluation and plan for a total mouth restoration.
I am a 70 yr. old male who had very poor dental hygiene over the years.
Dr. Monica Shedden devised a treatment plan, and I could not be happier with the results.

The work that was performed was as follows:
Root canals, (4) with Dr. Moises Lukowski which was virtually pain-free.
Cosmetic veneers, (porcelain) and crowns with Dr. Pasquale Calvosa.
3D imaging was used, and I could not be happier with the results.
Porcelain implants with gum restoration, (2) with Dr. Shedden. Fantastic!

The entire staff is great, and I highly recommend this clinic!
The clinic is in the Punta Pacifica Hospital, a Johns Hopkins affiliate which is located within walking distance of a fair selection of hotels and the largest mall in Central America. Plenty of restaurants to choose from as well as a Supermarket Riba Smith which has just about anything you would desire.
There is also Parque Omar in the neighbouring sector, San Francisco, for outdoor exercise.

Mr. Terhaar, thank you very much for trusting us to treat your dental health! You were an outstanding patient and we have been very pleased to have you in our office. You are always welcome Michael. Best regards! Monica Pacific Dental Clinic

I don't recommend the choice I made

3 50 Bone Graft • Paid: B/.195

I went to the clinic to confirm what I already knew—that I needed a bone graft before an implant, following a 3-month infection. I paid $100 for the doctor to state the obvious and refer me to a tomography clinic for a scan, which I did. Unfortunately, the technician was inexperienced and had to take multiple images, resulting in blurry scans that two doctors later couldn't definitively diagnose. I paid $95 for that.

In hindsight, it was a waste of money, as any clinic that performs bone grafts and implants would typically provide a diagnosis for free or charge a minimal fee for the scan. I should have done more research and found an all-inclusive clinic rather than going through different dental practitioners in Cancun. You may pay slightly more in the U.S., but at least it will be done right. I don't recommend the choice I made.

Dear Mr. O'Donell, Sorry for all the inconveniences. unfortunately the CTSCAN Lab where we sent you had problems that week with the equipment and your study couldn't be properly opened. We asked for your tomograph 4 times and it was imposible to run it. (to see it completely). So, we couldn't do the proper diagnosis. You paid for the consultation in our office but the CTScan was prescribed to this Xray center by the endodontist in order to compliment the diagnose. We talked to the CTSCAN Center several times and set another appointment for you so they could do another CBCTScan free of charge of course and you never replied. We couldn't reach you anymore. Beside that the Dr in our office was struggling but finally could open your CTScan by using EXOCAD, another software she has and we sent you several emails to coordinate another appointment (of course free of charge) with you in order to explain you what she had find in your images and propose you a treatment plan but we were not able to reach you anymore. And got no reply to our emails. If you are still in the City please contact us and give us another number so we can get in touch with you. We'd like to evaluate you and talk to you about the diagnosis. We are very Sorry for the inconveniences. Best regards, Pacific Dental Clinic

They were able to get me taken care of quickly and near painless

5 50 Extractions, Root Canals • Paid: B/.1500

Dr Monica and Dr Moises got me in quickly for a sudden root canal due to a cracked tooth and multiple cavities to be filled, all under anesthesia. They were able to get me taken care of quickly and near painless, they also did an excellent job cleaning up my teeth and at a great price.

My entire family will be scheduling all of our appointments to get our dental work done with them, I'd highly recommend them to anyone in need of dental services in Panama City!

Dear Pete, we are very pleased to have been able to serve you. Thank you very much for trusting us. It is very important for us to offer the best attention within our possibilities. Looking forward to see you and your family again. Kind regards, Monica

The quality of the services and the amiability of the staff makes all the difference

5 50 Dental Implants, Emergency Dentist Consultation

I had an emergency that needed to be treated quickly. The staff and the doctors have been amazing, and they resolved my problem in the best way possible. I most certainly recommend that clinic if you are in Panamá. The quality of the services and the amiability of the staff makes all the difference.

The staff are very friendly and respectful as well as the doctor

5 50 Teeth Cleaning, Invisalign™, Dental Bonding • Paid: B/.325

I was in Panama and I had tooth pain, called and got an appointment within a couple of days. It was discovered that the tooth was broken in half into. I received a canal lengthening, and bonding as well as cleaning at a great price. I'm glad this happened in Panama and not at home. The bonding came off and it was replaced free of charge with no other issues. The staff are very friendly and respectful as well as the doctor. I think it is worth it to return to Panama for my dental issues.

They are great dentists and periodontists

5 50 Dental Bridges, Dental Crowns

I was in the Dental profession for over 50 years. Soon moving to Panama, I found Dr. Monica And Dr Pasquale. They are great dentists and periodontists. I had 10 crowns made joined together. That's called a 10 unit fixed bridge, on my prepped teeth that they ground down. In the United States, it would have taken over 2 months, with appointments and lab work. I came to Panama and they did it in 11 days. The work was great and at a great price and they both have great chair side manor. They were very accommodating to my time scheduling. I will highly recommend them specially from being in the dental field. In fact, my wife is going in June to get an implant crown, and I will have a check up also.

5 50 Root Canals, Extractions • Paid: B/.700

I had a very difficult root canal issue and Dr. Moises Lukoweicki was able to resolve my problem within an hour and a half.

That is excellent customer service!!!

All doctors were careful, courteous and honest about issues and made me as comfortable as possible

5 50 Root Canals, Dental Implants

This Clinic was chosen by me due to being on the second floor of Johns Hopkins hospital and having my dental work done in Panama was based on the experience of Americans and Panamians I met last year who said they come once a year for their dental work.

I was a patient of Dr. Monica Shedden, Dr. Pasqualle and Dr. Moises in Feb/Mar 2020. My situation was complicated, including tear down and remake of a bridge, extraction, root canal, implants, and bone grafting.
I would not say this was pain-free, but all doctors were careful, courteous and honest about issues and made me as comfortable as possible. They also identified an infection that was present on x-rays from my home state of Wisconsin, USA and promptly treated me for this dangerous condition.

This is a busy Clinic and every effort was made to give me sequential appointments for the dental work that needed to be performed. I am due to return late June provided the Covid-19 is under control and international travel permitted to have the final phase of this work completed.

This may not be the least expensive clinic in Panama, but I doubt you will find the excellent work they perform at any price.

I’m excited and can’t believe I feel this way

Dental Implants

I came down to Panama City for the express reason to see Pacifica Dental and have 5 implants installed. That was in April of 2019. I arrived had work started by Monica. She performed the first phase of the implants and I left feeling very little pain and was confident with my recovery. As expected all was perfectly healed. Now it is November of the same year and I am returning today to begin phase 2. I’m excited and can’t believe I feel this way! My whole life I’ve been afraid of the Dentist! I’m excited to see Monica and have her finish my dental work! I will update soon! I Recommend this dental firm hands down! You will not be let down!

Treated by: Monica Shedden,DDS

Dear Lawrence it was such a great pleasure to have you as a patient in our office. Thank you for you confidence in us and for giving us the opportunity to fill your expectations. Thanks again for your sincere words. Hugs, Monica from Pacific Dental Clinic
