One of my main purposes this trip was to tour this dental clinic for two of my clients who will be there next week.
I don't think I have ever been more impressed by a dental facility. Mike the owner is probably one of the most caring and hospitable people I have had the pleasure to meet. I was so impressed by the cleanliness, moderness and caring of the dentists, I walked away from there thinking this is truly one of if not the best dental experiences I have ever had. And they didn't even do anything other than a brief exam of my mouth. This place is an absolute must for anyone needing dental work.

I made my fouth trip there today and they've all been great experiences (as great of an experience that you can have while going to a dentist anyway). Returning tomorrow afternoon to have an inlay finished. Price is right too!

Was quoted $300. Visit then 3 nights with a special gel in little retainers for 2 hours a night. You can go to sleep with them. Then return after the 3rd day for a few hours in the chair. Supposed to be quite good. Teeth sensitivity for a week or so afterwards, otherwise all the reports have been positive.

I was there Thursday afternoon for a cleaning. They have done all my dental work for the last year and a half. That includes a bridge, two root canals, two crowns, and numerous silver fillings replaced with white fillings. The only work I need now is the periodic cleaning. I told Jeff on the way back to the hotel that I look forward to my dental appointments because of the friendliness and personalities of all the staff there. They definitely know how to treat their customers.

the BEST dental service in SJO!!!!! thought I needed a root canal-so did my US dentist-saw them in July- x-rays showed my crowns to be in solid shape- turned out to be sensitivity which can be controlled by a special toothpaste, some cariax-a tube of white cream to help desensitize the gum, and a good-tasting pink gel. Xrays, visit, samples and gel came to $40.00 USD, not to mention they helped identify the tooth that was bothering me, which my US dentist couldn't determine.

Amazing how much more thorough they are here then your dentist in the states. They found a cavity under a filling my dentist insisted was a root canal and uncovered several other things my dentist never bother to mention to me.
The service here is 1st rate....except for emergencies I'll never go to an american dentist again

I really like reading the positive reviews on this place. I need dental work done (bonding and whitening) and thats the main purpose of my next trip. Glad to see everyone has had good experiences.

Ah, masochism! Reminds me of guys that repeatedly commit crimes so they can revisit their lovers/tormentors in prison. Or did I get it wrong? So what's your beef with Mike et Cie.?
