    Big smiles leaving PV!
    Brian K.

    Let me start with a little background. I live in Dallas & have spent a small fortune with my dentist at home over the last 5 years when I started the process for the "perfect smile". I was less than fortunate when it came to good teeth genes. To no fault of my dentist at home; a tooth with a veneer on it broke a month ago. I panicked, ran to his office and was disheartened to learn the tooth couldn't be salvaged and I needed an implant. I was quoted $5900 USD. Between what I had already spent in my mouth and the anxiety of shelling out another $6,000; I called a friend of mine who suggested I find a dentist in Mexico. I don't know why I had never even thought of doing that. I've been vacationing in PV for over 10 years and felt most comfortable coming here. The search began & I ran across Smile Vallarta and read the reviews on Dr. Sanchez. I emailed his office immediately & we communicated back and forth probably 10 times where I was not only assured he could help me, but I was also quoted a price over email, which you would never get in the US. The price quoted was about 75% LESS than I was quoted at home. I'm lucky to travel weekly for work so I used points for a flight and booked a cheap hotel in the Romantic Zone and came in for 3 days for what I thought would just be a consultation. After doing X-rays; Dr. Sanchez advised against even needing an implant and said removing the K9 should be a last option resort and since my tooth broke below the gum line it was salvageable. We ended up doing a post & a temporary crown the same day. Not only that, his lab was closing in 10 min and no longer delivering the supplies he needed for my crown. He left, got in his own car and drove over there himself to pick up the items needed so he could get all this done for me in 2 days. He stayed until 7:30 last night working on my temp crown so that I would have a tooth for ONE night. He took my old crown to match the color perfectly for my new permanent crown that he put on today before my flight. Yes, the lab charged a little more for the rush job, but I was happy to pay the extra rush fee. He could have certainly completed the implant for our agreed upon price; which was $1,000 more than the service he ended up suggesting and going with; so I got a mini vacation, met a wonderful doctor, leaving PV with a permanent crown that's beautiful & a treatment plan to finish out the 8 teeth I have left without veneers on them - saving about $8,000 from what I was quoted at home . He did say to book a 5 day vacation next time as he can't do 8 teeth overnight. LOL. Words can't express how thankful I am for Dr. Sanchez. If you are on the fence or nervous about going to Mexico for dental work, don't think twice about setting up a consult with him.

    Competent and friendly dentistry. Listened to me and did exactly what I wanted. No pain. Great…read morevalue.

    US native, here. This will be a long review, but I think they deserve all of the recognition. I…read morerecently took a trip to Puerto Vallarta with my husband for our anniversary. Prior to taking the trip, I visited a dentist in the US and was told that I needed 6 root canals,etc etc. Even with my insurance I was quoted at 16k. I started doing a lot of research and realized that US dental insurance is not worth it at all and began learning about medical tourism. I started calling around and eventually found White Smile studio and Ari from their office answered the phone. She spoke fluent English, was so incredibly nice and answered every question I might have. I sent over my X-rays and treatment plan and a few hours later Dr.Gustavo had reviewed them and made a tentative treatment plan (pending his own examination of course as he wanted to see me in person to be sure) and gave estimated pricing. His opinion was that I only needed 1 root canal, 6 fillings/some inlays/restoration/etc. I continued emailing with Ari and sent off my X-rays to some other dentists just to see why I was getting differing opinions from my US Doctor just to compare other dentists recommendations. I had a great feeling about White Smile from the start. After talking with Ari, she offered to let me do a video call with Dr. Gustavo so I could get to know him and let him answer any other questions. Dr. Gustavo met with my husband and I and explained everything with great patience and kindness. After this call I went ahead and booked my first appointment immediately. Dr. Gustavo took time out of his own day to talk with me for half an hour at no extra charge. Upon arriving, the office was clean, modern and everything I expected. Dr. Gustavo did his own exam, compared my X-ray, and told me that he now thought I needed two root canals along with the fillings/etc but that one of the other things I needed wasn't necessary after looking and offered to do my cleaning for free! The price ended up being cheaper than he initially thought. I ended up paying less than 3k out of pocket and am waiting on my insurance to reimburse whatever little they will do. They are in this practice to take care of their customers and make sure they are 100percent healthy without trying to upsell. He brought in his own root canal specialist (I regret not recalling his name) and Dra. Tania to do the crowns, fillings, inlays, restorations, etc.He checked in on the work as it was being done also. All of the staff was so gentle, kind, and patient with me during my visit. They took time to make sure I was comfortable and not in any pain and did not hesitate to take more time if I needed them to re-explain something or to make sure everything was as perfect as it possibly could be. I will send anyone I know to this establishment and should I ever need dental work in the future outside of a cleaning, I'll probably plan to visit the absolutely beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta and come to them directly. The last thing I wanted to do was get extensive dental work done on vacation, but I would 100percent do it all over again. Ari is still communicating with me via email to this day assisting me with paperwork needed for insurance (we've probably sent close to 100 emails since this all began and she has been so kind and helpful every step of the way) if you have ANY questions, call and speak to them. The customer service is better than any dental establishment I have ever worked with in my 31 years on this Earth. My sincerest thanks to the entire team at White Smile Studio!

    Just a fair warning DO NOT got to Just Smiles dentist in puerto vallarta…read more Go to mexico city is a third of the price here. I got 3 root canals and 3 crowns done here a couple months ago and they charged me $2700 USD. Now im back in the states and as im burshing my teeth one of the crowns chipped off. Absolutely terrible. My friend said he got a crown done in mexico city for 3700pesos while this place charged me 9000pesos and for a much higher price this place still messed it up. Personally i think they should have to pay for my plane ticket back and hotel and everything and fix this problem. Althought they may just mess it up again. I paid a lot of money to get this done and its sad to see the poor level of workmanship. I told my friend about it and he asked his friend if he knew if anyone can help and look at this screenshot of the reply. Somebody else had a bad experience too. Dont go here.

I checked with others as well in the area and their reputation was very good. English is spoken and email communication was very easy and quotes prices never changed. Had an implant, bone graft, root canal and tooth buildup all done for about 1/4 of the cost in the US. I have had zero issues in the nearly one year since having my work done and waited this long on purpose to write the review so I could include my long term outcome. Highly recommend. Office is right on a Main Street and modern.

Melisa Meneses by a family member who along with her husband were both patients. I worked closely with Regina to determine a course of treatment, time frames and quotes. I received quotes for full mouth implants which were quoted at approximately 66% lower than the costs quoted to me here in the states. All my communications via email were professional and concise. Estimates and time frames for completion of the treatment were agreed to and completed prior to my departure. Upon arrival at the Dentalestetic office, I found a modern, clean, professional and friendly environment. I found Dra. Melisa to be very professional as well as direct with her treatment plan. During my several visits to the office, I found the entire staff to be incredibly friendly and professional. My implants have changed my health, my appearance and my life. I highly recommend Dentalestetic and specifically Dra. Melisa Meneses for any dental procedure.

Not like the quick fix some Canadian dentists, especially in British Columbia. My Canadian Dentist did a MISDIAGNOSIS [a very serious one at that!] - and Dr. Meneses saw that quickly and had a safer idea to solve the issue. She explained it clearly and made perfect sense. The cost is less by taking the long term view. I am planning another visit again. Very satisfied with her professionalism and her staff, especially Erika who helped before arriving. I met about 16 people during my several visits to her office: 8 Americans-who have returned to her for over 6 years now. And I met 6 Canadians who were returning customers and obviously ALL very satisfied with her work. Thank you for providing professional and patient service Dra. Melissa Menesis. --Don K.
