Dentures Americas

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.

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!

Excellent work! very good dentist Doctor Alejandro Ulloa, attention and kindness, cleanliness and professionalism, excellent prices! I had my crooked teeth and my very inflamed gum gave me the best treatment in gum surgery and smile design, with Zirconia crowns which I was very satisfied, happier than I imagined! Consult more than 10 dentists in the cotton area and it was the best decision! I recommend it 100% without any doubt.

Gene, Linda and Sue, make going to "The Dentist" a pleasurable experience. I called the first time after my implant supported dentures broke into several pieces. Linda got me in in one day, Gene scratched his head and pondered for a few minutes, then thinking outside the box he built me a beautiful set of chompers. I could eat corn on the cob and bite into an apple. All the staff and Gene are very friendly and efficient. I will recommend ABDC to all.

Chipped my front tooth during a vacation in Guanacaste. I contacted Dr. Diego at 10am Wednesday morning and he had me booked in later that day at 2pm. Other dentists I contacted said they couldn’t assess the tooth until the next week. Dr. Diego understood the urgency in my situation and made room for me in his schedule right away and I’m truly thankful. From the moment I walked into Dr.Diego’s office, I felt at ease. He walked me through exactly what was needed and gave his professional advice. He fixed my tooth painlessly and professionally. Since my experience was incredibly seamless and professional, I decided to book Dr.Diego to complete a full crown for me (which I had been delaying on in Canada). I am now revisiting Dr.Diego later this month to complete the rest of my dental work! I absolutely recommend Dr. Diego

Dr. Nava and his staff, Eva, Astrid, Dr. Stephanie are awesomely amazing from start to finish. 5-star treatment, they take you everywhere you need to go to and from the clinic, the store, the airport, I didn’t have to think about anything but my treatment, what an excellent experience! Dr Nava is precise and methodical in every step of your treatment, he explains everything to you and does amazing work. He is truly one of the best dentists on this planet !! Thank you for my new smile 😃

The staff was very delightful and professional the cleaning was by far the best I have had. I will be going back for future cleanings. Affordable and thorough

I was referred to Allied Denture Clinic -Downtown by a friend who spoke highly of them. I went to the clinic in early January 2023 to do a new partial denture for my lost tooth. It was a most wonderful and positive experience I ever had with dental work. All staff are friendly and efficient. The denturist is extremely professional and excellent in his workmanship. He was so skillful and accurate in measuring and making a most comfortable denture for me. The denture fits perfectly well, no adjustment was ever needed. I would recommend them to my family and friends in the future.
