What patients say
“Calm and Gentle, absolutely AMAZING specialist dentist/dental surgeon”
I cannot recommend Barquero Dental Care highly enough! Having lived in the UK, USA, Canada and South Africa and enjoyed world class dental care in all of these countries, I was most apprehensive (to say the least!) about needing emergency dental surgery for a cracked tooth and filling, while travelling in Central America.

This dental surgery in Costa Rica was highly, highly recommended to me as they have state of the art equipment, speak great English, treat many international clients and are highly specialised/qualified/experienced for various advanced and complex dental treatments. I honestly have never enjoyed such excellent care and aftercare.
I have recommended Barquero Dental to all my friends and family. For future treatments, my husband and I will travel to this excellent dental centre - best in the world! My surgery was complicated and not something a regular dentist would have been able to carry out.
I have waited a few months before posting this review as I wanted to make sure there were no complications with the bone, molar roots etc post surgery. Everything has been optimal and I am so grateful and very happy to finally post my review.
