Root canal treatment of a milk tooth in 1 Dentistry clinic in Costa Rica

Attention to detail by Dr. Vanessa. He explained everything step by step in a simple and easy way before proceeding. The space is very clean and organized. Easy to get to with secure parking.

I had the BEST experience at the Hummingbird clinic and Dr. Behrooz will be my forever dentist. They took the time to listen to my concerns and went above and beyond to fix all of my issues. I am beyond grateful that I found this place. The dental hygienists, the front desk receptionist and of course Dr. Behrooz were so so friendly that I forgot I was at the dentist because I was so comfortable the entire time, even during my fillings! I love how my teeth look and will be recommending this clinic to everyone I know. Thank you Hummingbird staff!!

The BEST experience ever! Dr. Taghizadeh is truly a professional and an artist! I had multiple fillings done which I’m absolutely satisfied. But above that, I had two wisdom teeth extracted at the same time. It literally took less than five minutes and I DID NOT FEEL A THING!!! I was still getting myself comfortable in the chair and he said done! I was SHOCKED! I would’ve given him six stars if I could :)

I visited the clinic today for an urgent wisdom tooth extraction, and I was thoroughly impressed with their service. The team was incredibly understanding and efficient in addressing my pain. They provided clear explanations and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Their professionalism and skilled approach made a potentially stressful experience quite manageable. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone needing dental care, especially for urgent issues like mine

Very fast and efficient place! Friendly staff and reasonable prices, definitely recommend!

Highly recommended, excellent service, all the staff are very professional and friendly, they change my life and brought my smile back. Thanks to all doctors and assistants you are the best

Don't waste your money here. Went through the process for two implants one failed (this happens) and on the second one the crown came off after I returned home (7 hour drive from Juarez.) My local dentist said the abutment was done incorrectly. He re-attached the crown but it came off again as he said it would. I contacted Mike at Int X, told him what my dentist said, and he told me to return to their office and they would fix it so it would stay. I made another trip (gas, time, hotel etc.), they re-attached the crown, and Mike's parting words were, "thanks for trusting us." Within 4 days my crown had detached again. I emailed Mike again and after some delay he responded that the reason it came off was teeth grinding (my X-rays showed no sign of this.) I went a local implant specialist for a second opinion and he confirmed what my dentist had said, that the abutment was bad, and he saw no evidence of teeth grinding. I asked Mike for a refund, as I was not going to make the long expensive trip since I could no longer trust Int X. They flatly refused my refund twice. I know mistakes can be made, but if you don't own up to them, then you don't deserve your trusting patients.

I rarely go out of my way to leave reviews, but the quality of service I received definitely made me redownload the app just to write this. From the very start the receptionists are amazing, very sweet, caring and thorough in explaining everything. Jenny, Salma and Gilda helped me with the appointments as well as setting up the Uber from the border crossing which made the experience even better. I just parked at a lot by the Jack in the box on the US side, walked across and they ordered an Uber for me to take me there and drop me back off after my appointment both times I've gone.. I got an exam in the US and a quote for about 5k for a root canal and two fillings, here it was. Barely a fifth of that and an amazing experience overall. Erica helped me both times as the assistant and was amazing, and helpful. I loved Alejandra as my first visit she did the deep cleaning and she did two fillings for me today. Not only was she very compassionate, caring & straightforward when it came to what I needed, but very thorough with the procedures and made it as painless as possible. As a guy I typically avoid going to the dentist at all costs but after the experience I had today and last week I definitely will be on top of it more. Not only was the procedure for the fillings rather quick and pain-free, but Alejandra also was singing some of the songs to me that came on the TV and was a very enjoyable and comforting experience I'll definitely never forget. I got recommended here by a friend after I had looked into them a bit on Google, was hesitant at first about going across the border to get work done but everybody was very professional and made the entire process literally as easy as possible. I forget the two male doctors that did the root canal and the crown but they were exceptional as well and made sure I was doing okay very frequently which was appreciated! Highly highly recommend them especially for anyone coming from the US to get work done. Just as good if not better quality of work and experience! They all speak English quite well and I had no communication issues at all which was something I wasn't sure about as my Spanish skills are decent but limited. Definitely give them a try!

I did some research on this clinic and liked what I saw. Then I did a simple Yelp and Google search on Dr. Guevara. I found out that his California dental license was revoked. The Yelp review also shows pictures of a law suit. Seems like he may have decided to head south of the border since he could no longer practice in California. I also looked more on the web site and did not see what school he actually received his dental degree from. It said something like going to Harvard for ESL and something about Tufts. Nothing that says he graduated from either dental school. Big red flags for me.

Amazing work, went with a bad tooth pain and I feel much better, they extracted the tooth and allowed me to feel much better. They are very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about my tooth, thank you so much for taking me in on short notice and helping me feel much better, from the border to the dentist and back across it took 3 hours, amazing. I will tell my family and friends. Thank you very much

The office is super fancy, the dentist is amazing. I got an implant and bone grafting done and after 4 months of waiting, I’m excited I get to come back for my new tooth.

Two years ago, my brother visited Smile Builders and had dental work done for a total of $3,300. Unfortunately, he later discovered that he had developed gum infections in all of his teeth as a result. Around the same time, my uncle also underwent implant procedures and spent $5,000, but a year later, he had to remove his implants due to an infection. Oddly enough they both got infections from this same dental office. They seem to hire new dentists that are not qualified.

I’ve been coming to smile builders for a few years now. I wanted a place that offered Invisalign. At the time it was one of the only places that I found that offer it. From the beginning they were always professional, friendly, and accommodating. They speak fluent English, It’s the perfect place to go if you cross walking, not far walk at all. Just recently finished and I’m 100% satisfied on how everything came out.

If you want affordable quality dental work in Tijuana Mexico, this is the place. My wife had full mouth implants, uppers and lowers and surgery, and I had major work also. Hilda was awesome. I deal with a bad gag reflex, and feared going to the dentist, she made it a great experience and worked with me.I can’t say enough how great this place is.

Back in 2015, I embarked on what initially seemed like a daunting dental journey, traveling from Dana Point to Tijuana to visit Dr. Alex. My first interaction was fueled by caution, opting for just one filling to test the waters. As someone venturing into Mexico for the first time, I harbored uncertainties about the quality of care I would receive. To my relief, the work exceeded expectations. On returning home, my U.S. dentist examined Dr. Alex's work and praised its quality, boosting my confidence. Encouraged by this, I became a repeat patient, each visit reinforcing my trust in Dr. Alex's expertise. Over the course of several visits from 2015 to 2017, I had multiple crowns replaced. With each procedure, my confidence in Dr. Alex's skills grew. What stood out most was his commitment to perfection, ensuring that every aspect of the dental work was faultless. Reflecting on my experiences, I realize how fortunate I was to find a dentist who not only provided top-notch dental care but also made me feel increasingly assured with each visit. Dr. Alex's professionalism, skill, and dedication to patient satisfaction turned what could have been a daunting experience into a positive and rewarding journey. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality dental care with a personal touch.

Hi, the best dentist in Baja, specially my Dr Andres Lopez, great attention and he knows about my diagnostics and treatment plan, i’m very very happy about his service. I recommended him 👌🏻

Very nice and professional personnel. The place is very clean and well equipped. Felt in good hands.

I flew to Medellin from Washington DC in order to visit this clinic. It was so so worth it! I highly recommend this place as the doctors are very knowledgeable and professional, and the cost is very very reasonable (compared to other clinics that service foreign citizens). I had Dr Carlos, who was very polite and transparent about my treatment, he did a fantastic job and I’m looking forward to visiting him again in May! Thank you guys!!

Thank you so much Johana. The clinic is super decked out - there are even some fun screens to look at while you have the procedures done! A filling, cleaning, and retainer fitting was all done in half an hour - they are super efficient! Prices are all reasonable too! Johana is also great, so friendly and calming.
