Dr. Lapeira and his team are very professional and are fantastic at transforming smiles. They worked miracles with my missing, cracked and crooked teeth. I never felt pressured to endure extra or excess procedures. They were always looking out for what’s best for my health and my happiness with the final results. The office and staff are very professional and up to date. The cleanliness and technology exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy I chose Dr. Lapeira. I can’t stop smiling.

Dental Tourism: A Personal Experience with Dr. Lapeira in Colombia All-on-6 dental implants in the US can be prohibitively expensive, typically ranging from $25,000 to $35,000 per jaw. This led me to explore dental tourism. While websites like "Dental Tourism" and "International Smiles" offer information, their high ratings for all dentists make it difficult to make informed choices. Furthermore, their initial quotes often overlook crucial factors that can significantly impact the final cost and treatment outcome. This uncertainty can be daunting, especially when considering the logistical challenges of traveling abroad. My experience with Dr. Carlos Lapeira in Barranquilla, Colombia, however, was markedly different. Dr. Lapeira proactively engaged with me throughout the pre-visit process, communicating frequently and requesting detailed information, including photographs. He even recommended a bone scan, which surprisingly revealed sufficient bone density despite my extensive tooth loss. This proactive approach allowed for a realistic cost estimate upfront, including potential procedures like bone grafts, which can significantly increase the overall expense. Even with travel, accommodation, and meals factored in, the total cost was significantly lower than any comparable treatment in the US. Dr. Lapeira's wife, Sylvia, was invaluable in assisting with finding affordable lodging and even sourcing pureed food for the initial post-operative period, a crucial consideration as eating can be challenging during recovery. The actual procedures were performed by a highly skilled team, including Dr. Carlos Acevedo, who demonstrated exceptional expertise and a strong commitment to patient satisfaction. When several implants failed to integrate, Dr. Acevedo promptly replaced them at no additional cost. Dr. Alicia Díaz S., a talented prosthodontist, meticulously designed my new teeth, addressing my underbite and ensuring optimal function (room for my tongue) and aesthetics. The final result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly functional, with minimal food trapping. My experience with Dr. Lapeira and his team was exceptional. I believe I received high-quality care comparable to any US-based practice, but at a fraction of the cost. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lapeira and his team to anyone considering dental implant treatment. Sincerely, Paul Madeira (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)

I cannot praise Dr. Lapeira enough. My friend and I came for extensive treatment. We were here for a month. Even before we boarded the plane they cared for us. They helped us rent an apartment less than two blocks from the clinic. There was a car and driver waiting at the airport. He and his wife treated us like family. But what really mattered was their dental care. My mouth was suffering from years of neglect. I hadn't been able to eat solid food in months. They had a team of specialists. One did cleaning. An orthodontic surgeon did the implants and removed the roots and tooth fragments from a botched extraction done in the US. Another did the root canals (I needed 23). Another designed and fitted the crowns. Every step of the way they kept us informed and asked if we were happy with each procedure. The end result was magic. WAY beyond my expectations. The end result was priceless. I am not ashamed to smile anymore. I look 10 years younger. I'm not an emotional guy but it literally brought me to tears. They got it on video. LOL.

Not only a Great doctor but an amazing person!!! After consulting with many doctors in the USA and Colombia, I was very impressed with Dr. Carlos' knowledge and confidence in treating my super difficult asymmetric bite. After 14 months of being under his care, I now have the smile I've been dreaming about. Dr. Carlos went above and beyond to make my treatment easier and smooth.
