We offer advanced treatments to control periodontal disease, regenerate tissues, and restore the health of your smile with modern, minimally invasive techniques.
Why Is Periodontal Health Important?
Your gums provide essential support for your teeth. Detecting and treating these signs early is key to avoiding major complications. When bacteria cause inflammation or bone loss, problems may appear such as:
-
Bleeding during brushing
-
Swollen or receding gums
-
Persistent bad breath
-
Tooth mobility
-
Pain or sensitivity
-
Tooth loss in advanced cases

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. El Dr. Ricardo Valdez y todo el personal fueron fantásticos, el doctor siempre estuvo pendiente de mi recuperación y de que el resultado fuera excelente, y todo el equipo me atendió muy bien. Se siente una preocupacion genuina por sus pacientes. Tienen toda mi confianza. Por mi parte, completamente recomendados. Les aseguro que estarán en excelentes manos. ¡¡¡ Gracias Ricardo !!! 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.
