Why Choose Colombia?


If you’re looking for an exciting vacation destination that ticks all the boxes for culture, history, outdoor pursuits and all the other pastimes associated with a holiday, then Colombia is a great option.

After decades of civil unrest and other troubles, the country has finally come out of the other side. Its cities are now dynamic, lively and engaging destinations that can compete with any other modern city in the world. Plus, its terrain, which includes the Amazon Rainforest, Caribbean Coast and the Andes Mountains, provides a plethora of opportunities for outdoor adventure, whether it’s diving in coral reefs, soaking up the sun on a beach or trekking through jungles and mountains. Plus, it is also one of the world’s 17 megadiverse countries, which means it has rich ecosystems that lovers of wildlife will find irresistible.

How Can I Be Certain of Finding a Good Dentist in Colombia?


Anybody traveling abroad for dental care for the first time will, naturally, be apprehensive. However, there are always ways of mitigating any risk and that goes for choosing a dentist at home, as well as abroad. Sub-standard dental care can happen anywhere—even at home—but the difference at home is that you are likely to find that out from friends, family and neighbors, which isn’t a luxury you’ll have when choosing a dentist abroad.

This is where Dental Departures comes in. We personally conduct background checks to make sure that you will be seen at a reliable facility where the credentials stack up. Our checks include legal/criminal checks and onsite visits, as well as verifying dentist qualifications and professional memberships. We also collect real patient reviews that are published on our site, along with clinic photos, maps and prices.

What Type of Dentures Will I Need?

? You will need a full denture if you have no teeth at all in either your upper or lower jaw.

? If you have several gaps in your teeth due to tooth loss, you will need partial dentures.

? If you have recently had extractions, you will need to have a lighter denture to give your mouth time to heal. This is known as an immediate or healing denture.

What is the Procedure for Dentures? How does Long Will It Take?


The process to receive your new dentures in Colombia should take between five and seven days.

During your first visit to the dentist in Colombia, a thorough history, examination and x-rays or other diagnostic scans will be taken. The dentist will take impressions of your mouth, which are sent to a laboratory so they can make your dentures to fit. Once the dentist has received your dentures back from the lab, you can return to have them fitted. After your dentist has made any minor adjustments, you can be on your way to enjoying the rest of your holiday.

If your dentist has the latest CAD/CAM equipment (now becoming common at clinics everywhere), you may be able to shorten the waiting time to a couple of days.

Dr Napong is a fantastic dentist. An excellent communicator who gives you all the facts doesn't try to rush the process, and outlines the options in a manner that is easy to understand. Having a great dentist certainly means you are less inclined to 'delay' the inevitable

Dr Porntip is the best. I’m so lucky to have met her in my life. She always takes her time and makes sure she does a good job never rushing or anything. I have always felt that she works because she wants to help others not for money. I find that her rates are relatively higher than others but totally worth it. Thank you, dr Pontip.

Great experience. Being able to attend appointments at weekends was a big win for me. Also, I'm a nervous and anxious patient - I really appreciate the kindness shown during my visits! I'm delighted to have discovered this dentist.

Great service and very professional. Dr Som made the entire experience easy and was very patient with me. I had to go in for a wisdom tooth surgery and was a little scared. Made it very comforting. I will be back for my general check-up in 6 months time.

Dr Apichaya is an amazing dentist. I have been seeing her for dental care and wisdom teeth removal. She is been very patient reviewing my oral, she has done an amazing job professionally every time! I feel so grateful to have her be my dentist! She gained my trust 100% The staff at the clinic are very polite and professional as well. Thanks, Apichaya and the staff at the clinic!

The reason I chose this clinic is that I can schedule an appointment that fits my roster and not have to be attached to one dentist. They have several dentists in this clinic - all that are very knowledgeable and skilled so if one dentist is fully booked, there may still be a spot for you to see a different dentist in this clinic.

My wisdom tooth was inflamed and the doctor was very responsible, cleaned all my mouth, and told me about how to maintain my inflamed gums daily. She advised me to have my wisdom teeth extracted after the swelling went down. It was a very good experience

Very friendly staff. For me, this was my first time with a dentist in Thailand (I'm from Sweden) and honestly it was slightly better than I'm used to. The dentist was very professional, she fixed my tooth perfectly and was also extremely fast (switching equipment and all that). My overall experience was really good 10/10
