About M&V Dental Services
A New Way to Understand General Dentistry
General dentistry is the foundation of your oral health, and we believe it should feel like a positive experience from the very first moment. At Mora & Valdez Dentistry, you are the priority. We listen to your goals, use advanced technology to give you diagnostic clarity, and ensure your comfort at every stage—from reception to the dental chair.
This is preventive, modern dentistry designed with you in mind.
Care That Thinks Ahead
Our philosophy is simple: we care for the smile you have today and protect it for life. We take a truly preventive approach, detecting and treating small issues before they become bigger problems. As part of this vision, during your first evaluation we perform panoramic X-rays, a CT scan, or a cephalometric X-ray when the doctor deems it necessary—either due to warning signs or as part of routine monitoring.
With this precise information, we elevate the standard of your oral health and overall well-being, allowing you to spend less time in the clinic and more time enjoying life.
Our General Dentistry Services Include:
Questions about appointments
Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.
General dentistry focuses on preventive and routine care, including dental cleanings,
exams, digital X-rays, fillings, and oral health education to keep your teeth and gums
healthy.
Most patients should visit every 6 months for routine check-ups and cleanings. Some
patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health.
Dental cleanings are usually comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we can
adjust the technique to ensure a gentle experience.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Improves the health, function, and beauty of your smile. People with severe dental problems are candidates for crowns, dentures, veneers, and implants. It involves a series of procedures using different prosthetics to give the appearance and task of your natural teeth. If you have had a lot of tooth loss, you are a candidate.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown is used to cover a damaged tooth and to anchor a bridge. It can strengthen the existing tooth. Crowns are also attached to implants. They are made to match the color of your natural teeth. Bridges are used to replace missing teeth and are attached to the tooth or implant.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This not only improves their appearance, but also the way the teeth bite together, while also making them easier to clean.

Mon conjoint s’est cassé une dent en vacances et il a été pris en charge de façon exceptionnelle, radiographies, scan et extraction faits. En plus, Dr Valdez parle français ce qui a beaucoup aidé mon conjoint. Dennis MacaulayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After more than 40 years as a dentist myself in the US I can say unequivocally that Drs Mora and Valdez are absolutely wonderful dentists! Dr Valdez recemented an older porcelain onlay on my tooth and made it better, stronger and smoother than it was originally! He is simply a SUPERB dentist using the most advanced technics and materials - and their new office in Uvita is beautiful, modern, and set in the spectacular rainforest of the Ballena coast of Costa Rica!

Sinceramente, no podría recomendar un mejor dentista. La atención del Dr. Valdez es excepcional. Es muy profesional y tiene un conocimiento increíble. Tiene experiencia y mucha formación, lo que inspira confianza y seguridad a la hora de los procedimientos. Siempre se tomó el tiempo para explicar todo a fondo, respondiendo a todas mis preguntas. Además, es el dentista más empático y delicado que he conocido! La clínica es moderna y cuenta con las últimas tecnologías. Todo el personal es muy amable y estupendo. Acabo de terminar mi restauracion. Los implantes que me colocó quedaron de maravilla y me siento muy feliz con mi sonrisa !. Los procedimientos no me han dolido, el servicio es realmente muy muy bueno. Estoy completamente convencida de que no pude elegir mejor profesional.

JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called this morning to have a molar extracted in emergency, as there was an infection with it and my face was swollen. They took me in the afternoon! The service was amazing from the reception, the assistants and the dentist! Price was also very fair! Definitely recommend, and muchas gracias de nuevo! 🙏🏽 Rebekah HavrillaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had to have an emergency surgical tooth extraction done and everyone here was amazing. I emailed them on Sunday, had an assessment with a doc on Tuesday morning who walked me through EVERYTHING and showed me all my X-rays and pictures and the process that would happen and then had the procedure scheduled on Wednesday that included a bone graft and stitches. I had a stitch fall out early and they got me in within 24 hours to check everything and make sure all was well. The office is beautiful and bright and the staff were top notch. I’ll be coming back here in the spring when it’s time to do my implant. Sara SalehiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This clinic is incredible. I was so impressed by their efficiency and work ethic. Both my 5 year old and myself went in for check up after having tooth pain. Dr. Patricia took care of my daughter, extracted her tooth and the whole process was amazing. As for me, I had an extraction back in Canada that got infected, while on Holidays in Costa Rica. Dr. Valdez was just incredible. He took an Xray and explained the whole procedure to me. There was a piece of bone stuck in the socket. The procedure was some serious dental surgery, I got stitches, before and after photos, Xrays and all the post dental care medication necessary. I was blown away by Dr Valdez’s professionalism and proficiency. Highly recommend this clinic. Also, the space is impeccable with the most scenic views. Kelvin MastersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You just have to be a patient patient. Dr. Valdez completely re-made my mouth and I am very happy with the results. I went to Dr. Valdez with a failing lower horseshoe denture that was done in the States. He not only replaced the piece, he reshaped it so that it would fit with and work with a brand new upper denture as well. It was a long and sometimes frustrating process - it took over a year - but the results are worth it. I recommend Dr. Valdez and his excellent team for your dental needs, especially if they are as extensive as my own. Just be patient.
