Odonto Smile Boquete: Premier Dental Tourism Destination for Expats and International Patients

Dr. Dagmar Rios brings nearly five years of specialized experience to the Boquete dental community as the head dentist and owner of Odonto Smile. With advanced training in general dentistry from Panama City and ongoing specialization in dental implants from Brazil, Dr. Rios provides comprehensive care ranging from routine fillings and crowns to advanced cosmetic procedures.

His expertise particularly shines in veneer applications, where precision and aesthetic sensibility create transformative results for patients. The clinic's commitment to continuing education ensures patients receive care using the latest international dental standards and techniques.

Odonto Smile offers a full spectrum of dental services tailored to meet diverse patient needs. The clinic features state-of-the-art scanning technology that eliminates traditional dental impressions, providing faster and more accurate treatment planning.

Services include routine cleanings and preventive care, cosmetic veneers for smile enhancement, durable crowns and bridges, dental implants for permanent tooth replacement, and emergency dental services. According to Panama's Ministry of Health, the country maintains high dental care standards with over 2,000 licensed dentists nationwide.

Boquete's appeal extends beyond its renowned perfect climate and stunning mountain scenery. The town hosts over 3,000 North American expats, creating a supportive English-speaking environment for international dental patients. According to International Living's 2024 Global Retirement Index, Panama ranks #4 worldwide for healthcare quality and affordability.

Patients can combine dental treatments with Boquete's attractions including coffee farm tours, hiking in Chiriquí National Park, and exploring the town's vibrant expat community. The cost savings are substantial – a full set of porcelain veneers that might cost $15,000-20,000 in the US typically runs $4,000-6,000 in Panama, representing savings of 60-70%.

Odonto Smile's excellence has earned recognition in Edition 28 of The Restaurant Magazine 2025, highlighting the clinic's role in Boquete's growing healthcare and wellness tourism sector. This recognition reflects the clinic's commitment to maintaining international standards while serving both local residents and visiting patients.

The clinic maintains flexible scheduling to accommodate international patients, offering online consultations for treatment planning and emergency services. Panama's healthcare system ranks 95th globally according to the World Health Organization, with dental care being a particular strength due to modern equipment and internationally trained practitioners.
