Smiles at Vallarta Puerto Vallarta - Mexico

WHO ARE WE?

Smiles at Vallarta is a dental office located at the heart of old town Puerto Vallarta- on the side of Banderios Bay. In Smiles at Vallarta we want to give the best dental service we can provide, so that you and your family obtain major safety on having smiled.

Our mission is to treat from the root cause of discomfort by detecting and preventing illnesses of the mouth, and to provide affordable and quality personal care that meet each individual’s needs.

My main objective is patient satisfaction. My patients smile reflects the results of my work. My other objective is to eliminate pain by discovering the source that originated it for my patient.

 

OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:
  • Odontological treatments that range from care of the gums,
  • prosthetics,
  • cosmetic,
  •  aesthetics to oral rehabilitation including anti-snoring and makeover therapies,
  • dental bleaching with the professional system ZOOM!

 
Zoom is a well recognized system for bleaching known in dental care. We pride ourselves in using new technology - beams and computerized X-exploration, as well as painless anaesthesia.

For all these reasons, I believe you will have a happy and healthy smile when you leave my dental office.

You can even come down to get your teeth fixed and spend few days at our beatifuls beaches for almost the same price spent with your local dentist.

Bridge US$11 ~ US$20 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 5 per month.
If you are calculating the price of a bridge, include the teeth that will be anchoring the bridge as well in your count. Multiply all the units by $400usd. for each crown. The bridge fabrication is included in the cost of the crowns.

Crowns US$440 ~ US$551 Show Details

Guarantee 3 year(s). » Typically Performs 10 per month. Takes 4-6 days
One-Price for Porcelain over Metal Crowns including x-rays, temporaries, and build-ups if necessary. Because porcelain crowns cover your entire tooth, they often provide good solutions for severe problems i.e. a bad fracture, a large filling, a tooth that has had root canal treatment, and in situations where one or several teeth are missing. When teeth cannot be saved, dental implants and bridges are a great option to replace missing teeth.As with other techniques, crowns can correct a wide range of problems. They are durable and strong, so replacements are needed less often. The difference between crowns and laminates (or porcelain inlays) is that more tooth structure is removed. This is required to allow adequate space for the restorative material to have appropriate strength, esthetics… and healthy gum contour. The types of crowns that are commonly used are:1.Porcelain fused to metal quality. 2.Porcelain jacket crown 3.100% Porcelain and Art Glass.Porcelain

Dentures US$1401 ~ US$1401 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 3 per month.
Partials: Traditional: (Depending on # of units) $650usd - $1,400. (for a bi-lateral) Val Plast or Teflon both w/o metal parts): (Depending on # of units) $800 - $1,500 (bi-lateral) A partial denture is a removable dental appliance supported by your natural teeth. It may be required where there are one or more missing teeth. Many options are available and often a partial denture is prescribed. A crown or bridge may be the preferred treatment and the Dentist will advise you on the best treatment for you. Partials can be uni-lateral or bi-lateral. They can be made traditionally with metal base, or with acrylic teeth and metal wires. They newest procedure is the Val Plast or Teflon which has the quality of being elastic and adjustable without the involvement of any metal parts. These are more aesthetically pleasing and of benefit to patients who resist having metal in their mouths.

Filling US$100 ~ US$100 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 15 per month.
Tooth color matching resin fillings of cavities are up to $100. regardless of which tooth or the number of surfaces.

Filling - White Fillings Price on Request Show Details

We use the latest technology for our cavity fillings. This "White filling" is technically called a Composite Resin. You may have heard of it as Bonding. Composites are made up of a quartz resin and usually contain a light sensitive agent. These light cured composites are extremely cosmetic and most often bonded into place. They can be used in both the front of the mouth as well as in your back teeth. In order to bond a filling material to your tooth it is first necessary to remove the decay, prepare the tooth and then to condition the enamel and dentin. Once conditioned, a thin resin is applied which bonds to the etched surface. The bond strength of these fillings is incredible. Bonding increases the strength of these restorations far beyond those of only a short time ago.

Implants US$801 ~ US$1000 Show Details

Guarantee 10 year(s). » Typically Performs 8 per month. » Takes 2 days , each session lasting 2-3 hours
If you are missing a tooth but you are in good general health, with healthy gums and a jawbone that can support an implant, implant treatment may be an option for you. (However, keep in mind that in many cases, third molars called "wisdom teeth" do not require replacement.)Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.Health is more a factor than is your age. For example, chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after surgery.And if you use tobacco, you are at greater risk of experiencing gum disease, which can weaken the bone and tissues needed to support the implant.Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

Inlay or Onlay US$440 ~ US$551 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 7 per month. » Takes 3-5 days , each session lasting 1 hours
An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place. An onlay is a more extensive reconstruction that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays are indicated in situations where a substantial reconstruction is required. However, more of the tooth structure can be conserved compared to the placement of a crown

Root Canal US$200 ~ US$300 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 7 per month. » Requires 2 visits
The Dentist offers a One-Price for Root Canal which is $150 each (including x-rays) regardless of which tooth or number of roots in canal, $200 for two canals and $250 for three or four canals. Fiberglass posts for core buildups (if needed) run $120. including the build-up.

Veneers US$440 ~ US$551 Show Details

Guarantee 3 year(s). » Typically Performs 4 per month. » Requires 2 visits, over 3-7 days
Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment, or spacing and chips or cracks. Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past.
The position of the affected teeth, and conditions of surounding teeth has a bearing on the complexity of the procedure.

Whitening US$250 ~ US$351 Show Details

Guarantee 1 year(s). » Typically Performs 10 per month. » Requires 1 visits
We use the Zoom laser whitening process. It’s the Wolrds #1 latest and most advanced whitening process available (Discus dental). This method treats individuals who want immediate results (without the trouble of home bleaching) In some cases, resistant tooth discoloration can only be corrected using a combination of the In-Office and At-Home bleaching techniques, to effectively whiten teeth. Patients usually see a dramatic shade improvement in less than 60 minutes and generally 60% of the tooth sensitivity that is sometimes associated with the at-home tooth bleaching is decreased. The quick, comfortable and effective method is also the safest, because of new advanced laser light system that is used. Our price is up to $400usd.Non Zoom Laser whitening is also available for: $250 (Takes 1 hour)

Were you pleased with the treatment? Most everything I had done was excellent, but there was a small problem with the color of two veneers.

Would you recommend the clinic? Dr. Hernandez was very personable and professional. His English is excellent and he does excellent work. His office is very small, but extremely clean and modern. I highly recommend Smiles at Vallarta!

Would you return for further treatment? Absolutely yes!
