Surgical Extractions Worldwide

Accompanied by my wife I first attended the Dr. Marco Muñoz Cavallini International Dental Clinic in January 2013. Because my teeth were in terrible shape I wanted to have a full restoration that would provide me with two arches of new implant-supported teeth. It was agreed before I arrived that I should allow for one week per arch so I made arrangements to stay for two weeks. A treatment plan was agreed on day one but when I was being prepared for my first surgery session Dr. Marco became concerned that my heart was beating irregularly. He was so concerned that he sent for para-medics and I ended up being taken to the hospital emergency room where I was seen by a cardiologist. Although I was discharged later the same day Dr. Marco explained to me that it would not be possible for me to undergo any oral surgery until my heart condition had been treated. During this whole episode, I was accompanied by Anna, a bilingual member of the dental clinic’s staff, who took care of all of the arrangements. She did a wonderful job. We (my wife and I) returned to the USA the next day. My heart condition was subsequently diagnosed and I was required to have a heart pacemaker which was fitted in July 2013. In September my doctor cleared me for oral surgery and we returned to the dental clinic at the end of November. We stayed for two weeks and I received complete new upper and lower teeth consisting of 27 crowns supported by 10 implants. Some of my natural teeth were extracted and others ground down. My permanent new teeth were fitted on the last Friday of my stay and we returned to the USA the next day. All the surgery was performed under local anaesthetic and was virtually pain-free. The most uncomfortable part of the treatment was the taking of the impressions for the temporary dentures and the permanent teeth and the pressing into a place of the new teeth this being due to the pressure that had to be exerted to ensure a good fit and a strong bonding of the cement. My new teeth felt quite comfortable straight away and have been completely problem-free for the 7 years since I received them. The only money that I have spent at the dentist has been for routine check-ups. I cannot be categorical but it is my belief that I would have spent more money repairing and maintaining my “old” teeth than I spent on acquiring my new teeth. With regard to the way the clinic operates, as other patients have noted, appointment times are virtually meaningless but nevertheless in my case whatever was scheduled to take place on any given day always did indeed take place on that day but much time was inevitably spent waiting. We stayed in the “on-site’ accommodation which is relatively austere but totally adequate and of course very convenient. The clinic is located within walking distance of the centre of San Jose. Although it is impossible to project the future, based on my experience to date, I count my decision to become a patient of the Dr. Marco Clinic one of the best I have made and I recommend this clinic without reservation.

I asked dr Karouni by WhatsApp about the implant procedure and how much it costs. He replied immediately with an open mind. I couldn’t follow up with him as he was out of the country and I had to go to another clinic as I had severe pain and my tooth had to be extracted. I will recommend Dr Karouni to anyone as he looked to me to be professional and kind enough to reply to my questions.

Very professional and efficient. I highly recommend this practice. No complications and fair prices. Thank you!

Excellent team and the dentist helped my 2 year old son with his teeth. I’m delighted. Booked again for follow up, very impressed.

We were so happy with our visit to this dentist. Every was explained very clearly and time was taken to ensure we left happy. I took my son there for an appointment but will be making an appointment for myself also.

Initial visit and examination, need to take 11 FOV 9x12 3D CBCT or doctor to determine right dental procedure. I choose this clinic because is closest to my apartment. Clinic is nice, clean and in equipped with impressive instruments. Doctor was very helpful in explaining about procedure for dental implants. What kind of implants should be determined in next visit after examining 3D scan. S. Golubovic

The doctor is very professional and polite. Straight forward with what you need at consultation. I highly recommend her and the orthodontist. Definitely will look forward working with this business for every dental need. Thank you!

The Best Humans and Doctors I ever met. They respect you and treat you like human and not see you as money. They spent a lot of time with us to explain everything we needed to know, in comparison with all previous doctors that they didnt even want to listen our problem and their therapies were only to take money. Here in Biodent.Konstantopoulos we had dental implants for myself and my daughter and my husband. Zero pain, top quality, top aesthetics, top prices. Love you!!

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the medical and service staff at Health Education Center- Especially the doctors and translators who were with me moment by moment throughout the treatment period. I had a nose job and I really like it.

What can I say!? I would highly recommend this dental clinic. The service was excellent. The staff were highly professional, caring and kind. I am normally terrified of dentists but here I was told exactly how my treatment would progress. I will be recommending the clinic to family and friends.
