From local families in San Cristóbal and Mixco to patients flying in from Miami, Texas, and California — these are real results from real people who trusted San Cristóbal Dental Studio with their smiles.
Patient Origin: Miami, Florida, USA | Treatment Duration: 8 Days in Guatemala + Follow-up Visit
Mark R. (age 57) from Miami, Florida, arrived with severely deteriorated dentition — multiple missing teeth, failing bridges, and significant bone loss. He had received quotes in Miami ranging from $38,000–$44,000 USD for full-arch implant restoration. After a WhatsApp consultation, we provided a written fixed-price plan for 6 Straumann® titanium implants across both arches with fixed zirconia bridges for a total of $13,300 USD — saving over $25,000 compared to his US quotes.
“I added 3 days for a trip to Antigua Guatemala and Lake Atitlán during my healing time. The clinic coordinated my hotel and made everything completely seamless. I left with a brand new smile and thousands of dollars still in my pocket.” — Mark R., Miami FL
Patient Origin: Ciudad San Cristóbal, Mixco, Guatemala | Treatment Duration: 5 Days Total
Andrea M. (age 29) from Balcones de San Cristóbal came to us 6 weeks before her wedding with a goal: a perfectly symmetrical, brilliantly white smile for her big day. She was self-conscious about uneven tooth length and natural tooth color. Dr. Morales designed a Digital Smile Design mockup, performed laser gum contouring, and placed 10 ultra-thin E-max® porcelain veneers — completely transforming her smile in just 5 days.
“I cried when I saw my smile in the mirror for the first time. It was exactly what I had dreamed of — even better than the digital simulation. Every single person at my wedding asked me if I had done something different.” — Andrea M., Balcones de San Cristóbal
Patient Origin: Carretera Interamericana / San Lucas Sacatepéquez | Duration: 1 Afternoon
Fernando S. (age 44) arrived at 10:30 AM in extreme dental pain — unable to sleep for 2 nights due to a dental abscess. Another dentist had told him the tooth needed extraction. Our endodontist performed a 3D tomography evaluation confirming the tooth was saveable. A single-visit root canal was completed using The Wand® computerized anesthesia (zero pain reported), followed by a fiberglass post and same-day provisional crown. Fernando left pain-free by 3:00 PM. His permanent zirconia crown was delivered the following week.
“I came in barely able to talk from the pain. Two hours later I was sitting comfortably watching them work on my tooth and feeling absolutely nothing. I left that afternoon pain-free with a temporary crown already in place. This clinic literally saved my tooth.” — Fernando S., San Lucas Sacatepéquez

“I flew from Los Angeles specifically for 8 porcelain veneers. The digital simulation was spot-on — my final result was even better. The team speaks perfect English and made me feel completely at ease. I saved over $10,000 and got a beautiful vacation too.”
“My family has been patients here for 4 years — handling everything from my son's braces to my husband's implant to my daughter's whitening. The service is always impeccable, the staff is warm and kind, and the location in Plaza Médica San Cristóbal is so convenient for us.”
“I'm a Guatemalan living in Dallas, Texas and I come back every year for my dental care. All-on-4 implants were completed on my first trip — I saved about $15,000. Dr. Morales is absolutely brilliant and the whole process was communicated in perfect English. Highly, highly recommended.”
“I was terrified of dentists my entire life. The team here completely changed my experience. They explained every step, the computerized anesthesia was completely painless — and now I actually look forward to my dental cleanings. I've referred my entire office here.”
“I came from Florida for 3 dental implants and 3 zirconia crowns. I saved approximately $9,500 versus my US dentist's quote. The clinic is incredibly clean and the team is fully bilingual. They even helped me find a great hotel in Antigua Guatemala. Best decision for my health and my wallet.”
“My 8-year-old daughter had severe dental anxiety and refused previous visits elsewhere. Dr. Ana was absolutely incredible — patient, playful, and so gentle. My daughter left with a big smile and actually asked to come back next month. This team truly understands children. Cannot recommend them enough.”
