Dental Tourism Colombia (Cartagena, Dr. Julio Oliver)

My experience with dental tourism Colombia was a good one. I recently had a crown replacement done in Cartagena with Dr. Oliver & the quality of work was on par with any service I’ve had done in the United States. I was expecting the crown to come from the lab & be replaced on my first visit, but did have to wait a few days for the crown to be fabricated. Other than that, I would just recommend brushing up a bit on Spanish for ease of communication during your appointment. I would recommend dental tourism Colombia to anyone in North America looking for quality dental work at a fraction of the cost.

Good experience with dental cleaning and laser whitening. I did have to wait for over 1 hour past my appointment time but they are very professional, attentive and caring. The Dental Technician spoke english and was extremely competent. I feel they did a very good job that was equivalent to anything in the United States for a much lower price.

I just want to say this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had and I’ve had numerous dental encounters. They are attentive, they respond quickly and the work is amazing. Not only is your dental experience great but from pick up at the airport to drop off you are taken care of. My favorite part is they always ask me to text them when my flight lands safely. Dr Oliver and his team did an amazing job on my teeth and gave me not only my smile back but my confidence back. P.S. I got a implanted bridge on my upper front teeth. I was missing 4-5 teeth.

Dr. Oliver is an excellent dentist, caring and professional. I got veneers and an implant. I’m very happy with my new smile. I highly recommend Dr. Oliver.

I had a great experience dealing with Dr Julio Oliver and his team in Cartagena Colombia office. I pretty much got all my teeth worked on from putting crowns and veneers to teeth extraction. Dr Julio was straight forward with what needed to be done and costs. It was a relief to find a dentist with Integrity. The whole team, totally professional and friendly.I can write chapters on the fantastic experience I had, from the time of booking the appointment with Jose, communication, airport pick, procedure and dropping me back to the airport. Keep up the good job Dr Julio.Tuve una gran experiencia tratando con el Dr. Julio Oliver y su equipo en la oficina de Cartagena Colombia. Prácticamente trabajé todos mis dientes, desde poner coronas y carillas hasta la extracción de dientes. El Dr. Julio fue sencillo con lo que se necesitaba hacer y los costos. Fue un alivio encontrar un dentista con integridad. Todo el equipo, totalmente profesional y amable.Puedo escribir capítulos sobre la fantástica experiencia que tuve, desde el momento de reservar la cita con José, la comunicación, la recogida en el aeropuerto, el trámite y el regreso al aeropuerto. Siga con el buen trabajo Dr. Julio.

This is going to be a long review. I'm on a budget and needed dental implants and didn't feel like taking a second mortage out on my house to get it done in the States so I started to look for dentists overseas. I looked everywhere: eastern Europe, Korea, Thailand, Turkey, India, and Latin America. About half of the places I contacted NEVER responded at all. Because of the high cost of air fare I quickly narrowed in on Latin America. Also, many overseas clinics couldn't figure out that the whole object of going overseas was to save money. You'd think that would be obvious but it wasnt. MANY clinics were as much or more than the high priced clinics here in the US that I was trying to avoid.Almost went with a couple of clinics in Costa Rica but twice they came back with hidden fees at the last minute, just before I was about to book my reservations and who knows what the final cost would have been once I got there and they had me over a barrel.By chance, I happened to read a New York Post article about Dr Julio Oliver Gonzales and thought I would give him a try. One thing that impressed me from the outset was that they didn't want a dime's payment until AFTER the operation was overI . Many outfits demand at least a down payment before they will give you a reservation.I needed dental implants and a chipped tooth fixed. The chipped tooth in particular made me look like the guy from Deliverance. Had to get that fixed. So I rolled the dice and waited to see what would happen..A driver met me at the airport on a national holiday which i greatly appeciated and gave him a generous tip for and he drove me to my hotel. In fact, the driver drove me to all of my appointments, took me for a quick grocery shopping trip, and drove me back to the airport when my trip was done.Now for the Drs. I am a HUGE gagger and I can't control it. Im REALLY hard to work on. I saw a few videos on what actually went into a tooth transplant. The more I saw, the less I wanted to know. To this day I don't know how you drill a straight vertical hole into someone's gums without lurching off to the side and messing the whole thing up, but he didn't. The procedure was completely painless - the cleaning hurt more and within a day I had no need for pain pills at all. The pain the first day was very mild and but I am coward and I didnt want to chance it. then they whitened my teeth so they looked MUCH better and filled in the chip. Amazingly they got the color of the chip to exactly match the color my newly whiten teeth. I didn't have that two-tone effect you so often see that looks like someone stuck Elmer's glue on your tooth. Honestly, it looks totally natural.It was all very affordable and the equipment was all very modern and professional. One thing in particular I appreciated was the fact that they had an orbital X ray machine. I gag like the dickens EVERY time they put those short little X ray films in my mouth and have to fight to keep from swallowing them.The staff was extremely friendly and gentle and professional. Now let me tell you what they didn't do. They didn't try to rush me back for a quick follow visit three months later so they could help their cash flow. No. They said I had to wait six months to let the bone heal completely and so the work would be PERFECT. I almost cried. And that's their attitude in a nutshell. YOU come first. Always.I have to come back in six months to have the crowns attached to the screws and am looking forward to that and to seeing Cartagena again. Unless I grow a second head in the next few months as a result of the surgery, I would have to give this clinic a solid A+++. These guys are literally world-class. DEFINITELY I would recommend them!

We recently traveled to Cartagena to seek Dr. Oliver’s opinion for my husband’s dental needs. We were somewhat hesitant travelers, as we had never ventured outside of the US for any type of medical care, but the cost of dental care in the US has simply become unbearable. After our experience we can say without hesitation that Dr. Oliver and his entire staff, including Carlos, our driver, are top notch professionals. The cost of dental care in Colombia is remarkably lower, and yet the quality of care is not compromised. If you are hesitating, hesitate no more!

Dr Julio Oliver is very talented and really cares about his patients. He spent a lot of time with me and was extremely patient. My results were amazing! I would definitely recommend him! He is bilingual and his staff as well.His office staff are very professional and friendly. His office is beautiful, immaculate and all equipment is state of the art. I highly recommend him.

Great experience! I was seen right at my appointment time, they did a check up and confirmed no cavities and did a through cleaning. Office was clean and sanitary practices appeared above and beyond what you would find in the US. The Dr also cleaned off some stains I’ve had since I got my braces off as a kid for no extra cost.I currently do not need anything but would certainly consider flying back for future work.
