She is also a surgeon so you're not getting an actual doctor helping with treatments. I live in California and visit Rio often. I was hoping to find someone that is good locally and I'm so happy that I found her. I experimented lightly with some procedures in California and they were very expensive and I felt a bit intimidated in the offices. This was the exact opposite. The doctor takes time to explain everything and all options and the pricing was half of the states. After the procedure she was available to answer all my questions. She really wants to help her clients get the desired results. As I learned, Rio is a small community so its very important to her to always do a great job and keep local referrals coming. The results have been great and she will be a part of my travel plans when I return. Wonderful place!

This is a follow up to my original post. It has been roughly 6 months since I came to Dr. Rowan for…read moregum contorting and composite veneers. The good: - Substantially cheaper than having your teeth done in the states. - Visiting Rio was amazing. - My teeth do look quite a bit better than before but the constant discomfort I've experienced since doesn't really seem worth it. - Dr. Rowan has excellent bedside manner and the entire staff is very warm and welcoming. The not so good: - I was under the impression via our virtual consult that Dr. Rowan was the one who would be conducting both the gum contouring and veneers. This is the main reason I chose him. His credentials. I didn't realize until I arrived in Rio that he actually only oversaw both procedures. I decided to proceed anyway since I'd traveled so far. - The veneers weren't fitted properly/filed enough. The backs are very rough. My bite is off and my teeth consistently catch on each other. Within the first week of having my new smile I was eating a banana, my teeth clashed and one of the veneers broke off. -The following month another one chipped. I've gotten more used to this new normal but it doesn't feel natural or normal. - My bite is completely off. Eating was an extreme challenge for the fist few months and I was getting persistent headaches. I saw a dentist in the states to see if they could grind the backs of a few teeth so my bite would fit together like it used to but they said all they could do was replace the veneer completely due to liability which would cost 1-2k per tooth. - My gums bleed constantly. I don't know if this is common with gum contouring but it's awful. The slightest touch will make them bleed. Flossing is a bloodbath. I tried flossing less and even tried taking weeks off but nothing helps. My gums are also still very sensitive and swell often. The veneers. - If I were to go back and do it again I'd also choose porcelain veneers instead of composite for a more natural look. I would post before and after pics but while i was made to sit through multiple very uncomfortable photo sessions the photos were never shared with me.

I encountered Dr. Rowan Vilar because of a recommendation from a trusted friend. And although both…read morethe global pandemic and the impact that had on my very local wallet, prevented me from experiencing treatment under his care ... please allow me a moment to express why he would have been my first choice. I've been suffering for about a decade with poor dental health, so much so that the dental professionals in the Atlanta area would not perform regular scheduled maintenance cleanings, for fear of a malpractice suit. I don't have dental insurance and it has taken years for me to save the money needed to address my oral health. I've searched several destinations abroad and even though Dr. Vilar's wasn't the least expensive, his review of my current health status and plan to restore me to good health was and remains BY Far, the most comprehensive, the easiest to understand, the most thought out, the most focused on both the physical and mental aspects of oral health, the most attuned to my specific satisfaction and the most considerate of my specific circumstances, that stood as a challenge for me, on the road to alleviating my dental pain and improving my oral health. Here's how. I contacted his office on a weekend and received a return call before the weekend had ended. We shared 2 or 3 conversations at length, regarding my current status. In those conversations we covered everything from the problems I was experiencing, to how I felt about appearance to what had prevented me from addressing the issues until now. After gathering the information, he expressed a need for X-Rays, Pictures and I also had a topographical CD available. I sent it all to him and we scheduled a follow up ZOOM call for a few days later. I am NOT the most tech savvy senior citizen in the world and Dr. Vilar was very patient with and helpful to me as I struggled via WhatsAPP and ZOOM to connect ... but finally, when I did ... it was So Very Worth My While! Dr. Vilar had prepared a presentation using my photos and that of successful projects he'd previously completed, to detail for me exactly what needed to be done and what I could expect as a finished product. He informed me of the extractions that were needed, those teeth he'd try to save and why ... as well as, the orthodontics and implants that were required to best restore my health. He not only explained what was needed but also why it was important. He addressed the timeline and commitments and was prepared to assist me with finding accommodations during my stay. His English is flawless, pertinent because my Portuguese is non-existent! And, his communication style is very thorough. We've interacted for about a month and a half, with him checking in on my progress approximately every two weeks after our initial Zoom consultation before I realized that even though his fees were reasonable, less than half of what I was quoted in the u.S., and despite the fact that his proposed solution was by far the best ... I simply couldn't afford the best! That said, if I could have ... I most certainly would have. After having searched for nearly a decade and about a dozen countries in both europe and south of the u.S. border, Dr. Vilar's practice appears to be among the very best on the planet!
