Boca Oficina Dental

I had a wonderful experience today with this dental office. It’s very small, but very modern and clean. I had a regular cleaning which went well; however, the best part about my experience with this dental office was that I originally thought I needed a deep cleaning, which requires anesthesia and multiple visits. In fact, my dentist in the US had recently told me that that’s what I need. Upon seeing my x-rays, the dentist at Boca said that he actually thought what I really needed was just a thorough, but regular, cleaning and that I didn’t have to spend the extra money on a deeper cleaning. I appreciated his honesty and his superb work on my teeth!

Excellent experience! Modern office and equipment. Great work with my wife and I for our cleanings. $40 each and very well worth it. Did not try to upsell us on anything. Speaks good English. Sound dental opinions and advice. Very honest and professional!

Excellent service, professionalism and a gentle touch! I’m so pleased with my dental cleaning and grateful for the helpful suggestions to take good care of my smile. Thank you so much! 😁✨

Dental Excellence, at a reasonable price. This review will take a minute, but if you are considering dental work, take a moment with me here. What can I say about Boca Dental? - Professional. - Responsive. - Masterful work. - Reasonably priced (even 'inexpensive' by western standards). - Trustworthy - Gentle Touch - Private Room - Sanitary and CLEAN! Basically, everything you would want from a dental experience. I'll tell you about my personal experience, and I'll try to 'bring you with me'. Earlier in the year I chipped my front tooth on an old piece of fishing line (my mother always told me... and I admit she was right) and as it wasn't anything severe or painful, I simply looked like the guy from Dumb and Dumber for the springtime, no big deal. Searching Google Maps for local dentists my girlfriend and I found Boca Oficina Dental had (at the time of this review) 30 reviews, all 5 stars, others dont come close, so we decided to give Boca Dental a try. We scheduled cleanings (on the same day) via the Google Maps "contact" chat function. Dr Torres was responsive and offered Spanish or English (He's also learning French btw) support. At our appointment, we were greeted, by an ultra-modern front room. AC was blasting, chill music on the playlist, low lighting, comfortable chairs, security cams and some literature. If it wasn't a Dentist office, it was a lounge to a speakeasy. Dr Torres took my girlfriend back first, and before beginning they discussed her desire for Invisaline or braces, options, costs, and pros/cons for about 20 minutes. Although Dr Torres doesn't do "invisaline" products, he was very helpful in examining, recommending, and explaining the other pros and cons to all the products on the market. Knowledgeable, and honest is the best combination. As my girlfriend returned from her cleaning, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up. My turn. Dr Torres asks me for 5 minutes to clean and reset his work space. Then, I enter the back room to see Dr Torres changing out his work gloves, mask and a FULL BODY SUIT. He wads them up and throws them away. Suits up 100% for me, pulls out a new set of tools, then opens them from their sealed plastic and lays them out on his work desk. Invites me to sit down, and begins working. Confidence? 100% As I am laying there I notice all the small details that make this Dentist office... enjoyable? He's got: - Back-lit ceiling lights that light the room in RGB colors (mood lighting) no bulbs are visible and its well lit without being harsh. - A very modern and spaceship like dental chair with all the bells and whistles. This is isn't your father's dentist. - A hanging television from the ceiling with a movie (on mute, with spanish subs) running in the background. - A great playlist running quietly in the background. Its vocal acoustic covers or some relaxed version of dance music. Think "coffee shop" or "dinner with friends" playlist on spotify. Im in heaven. The cleaning was thorough and easy. No bloody gums or 'hot spots'. I never tasted blood or felt anxious. Just a smooth and quiet procedure, with a nice polishing at the end that I love to feel afterwards. We discussed my chipped front tooth, and also a whitening (I thought, hell, since Im here already and this guy is great, what else do I want?) as possible next steps. This is where Dr. Torres shines: When I asked about whitening (25 years of daily coffee, and I'd never done it before), he said that he does NOT recommend tooth whitening. He listed a lot of reasons not to get it done, and then he said something important: "I am focused on the health of your teeth, and since whitening damages them, I do not recommend that. I'll do it, but only if you insist." He tried to talk me out of it. Ever hear of a Dentist do that? Cleaning (800p/45 USD ) Whitening (2100p/95 USD) Chipped front tooth (900p/45 USD) I'll leave you with this: If you can spot the repair in my front tooth, go to another dentists. If you cant, Dr. Torres at Boca Dental is your new dentist in PV. Highly recommended. Thank you Dr Torres!

For the past 3 years since my old dentist in the U.S. retired, I've been searching for a new dentist. I've gathered quite a few recommendations for dentists in Puerto Vallarta, and decided to give dental tourism a try. I admit that, with experience, I became more careful about whom I let drill into my teeth; from my dentist I demand skill, communication, reliability, and patience. I've seen a handful of dentists in Puerto Vallarta before getting to Dr. Federico Torres, who met all my requirements. To start, I contacted him via email. He responded quickly, in perfect English, and I got an appointment right away. His office is conveniently located in the Marina, has a clean and lovely decor, and a calming, spa-like atmosphere. I showed up a little early, but Dr. Torres was already waiting for me with a welcoming smile. He patiently answered my many questions about his qualifications, the treatment I needed, etc., and did not act annoyed when I told him I needed every step explained before proceeding. Dr. Torres has a gentle and careful touch, and he took his time to execute the procedure correctly. His prices are also more than fair. He made the whole experience seem like a spa treatment, and I am so glad my quest for a dentist is finally over! I am whole-heartedly recommending Dr. Torres to all my friends and family members because he deserves it.
