Armenta Dental Studio

My visit to Dr Armenta’s office was in May of 2024, following a disappointing experience with my regular dentist in California. I visit Puerto Vallarta twice a year and have had my teeth cleaned at a dental office in town. So I did some extensive research about dental care in Mexico and then specifically in PV. My friend from Aspen recommended Dr. Armenta as she had been to him and was very happy.

I called Dr Armenta’s office from California and made an appointment for a Monday. (I was anticipating a root canal) I arrived in PV on Sunday. My evaluation was with a wonderful dentist (not Dr Armenta, and shamefully I do not remember her name). She did an excellent job of taking my history and evaluation, including 3 X-rays. She conferred with the Endodontist and I was given an appointment on Thurs for a root Canal. At the time I was quoted 5300 pecos (Approximately $300-350 US dollars). At my Thurs appointment, I was given an extensive explanation of my situation. There was a chance I would need a tooth extraction. I was shocked and not ready for that. Options were given and we decided on the root canal. She was able to drill through my current new crown for the root canal. However, the root in that tooth had a blockage at the bifurcation. She was able to complete the root canal but requested I return in 4-6 months for a follow-up x-ray. When I checked out I was only charged 4000 pesos per the direction of the Endodontist. My credit card showed $233 for the entire 2 visits.

My tooth was great for the first 2 months, but I will be calling back for an appointment to probably have my tooth extracted. As she suspected, and now so do I, the tooth under the crown is probably fractured. Originally it was a crown replacement and that is not uncommon.
I am so thankful for her extensive explanation of what was happening with my crown replacement and for giving me an option. I am much more prepared for the extraction now. I will obviously be returning to Dr Armenta’s office for the procedure without any hesitation.

By the way, my visit to Dr Armenta’s office in PV, including airfare, hotel, and the cost of the root canal was less money than the quoted price of an evaluation of my tooth in CA, which was $2160. And I had a wonderful week in PV and a thorough explanation of my tooth situation.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at Dr. Armenta’s office.

I have been going to this dental office for 4 years. The staff is so caring and pleasant to deal with. Dr Benjamin is absolutely the best dentist anywhere. He has done crowns, extractions and implants on myself and hubby. Always attentive and accommodating to my time in PV. He never tries to push dental work that doesn’t need to be done. Very honest!! My teeth are cleaned and checked by the hygienist every year with no issues. Highly recommend this office. Will be back in a few weeks for my cleaning and ckup.

There are not enough words to describe the most amazing and wonderful experience that I have ever had in any dental office or in dealing with any dental surgeon, as my experience with Dr. Armenta. I have had dental issues since I was a child, been to many dentists and surgeons in various countries. In 2017 I was told that I had to have all of my teeth taken out. Being in my '50's I was not prepared to have dentures. Living in Canada, I could not afford to do all implants. And so began our research and quest for someone in Mexico. My husband and I went to Puerto Vallarta and saw several surgeons and dentists, Dr. Armenta being the last one of the day.

After having a scan done and talking to Dr Armenta for a couple of hours, both my husband and I said that there was no one else that we would use. By the time the consultation was done, I knew that it did not matter whether I had 20 million dollars or 2,000 dollars. He was the only one that I would ever trust to do the extensive work that was required. The only person that I would trust to do something that could alter my facial appearance.

I returned in 2018. I had an 11 hour surgery where Dr. Armenta's office pretty much turned into an operating room. The most amazing anesthesiologist was there, Dr. Felipe Robles. From the time that I sat in that chair for the surgery, I don't think that I have ever felt any safer than I felt that day. And trust me, I have had so many oral surgeries that I have lost count.

all of my teeth were removed. I had 15 implants in total put in top and bottom, bone grafting done both top and bottom and sinus lift surgery on both sides. I was stitched from one side of my mouth to the other, again top and bottom. Dr Felipe was the one who gave me the required medication. When my eyes opened, as of that time on, not one drop of blood came out of my mouth. I was prescribed strong pain killers should I need them, but I can honestly tell you, that i never took one of the strong painkillers.

Dr. Armenta worked tirelessly with me. I was there for a month. When Dr. Armenta said that if need be, he would be working with me into the night, he was not kidding. There was no "its 5 p.m. and time to go home". There were some late nights and he looked exhausted, but he would not leave until he had it just perfect.

I had not been able to chew a steak in over 30 years. Before I returned home, I chewed my first steak with my temporary prosthesis and for the first time in many years, I realised why I had the digestive issues that I had. I was able to chew a piece of meat into almost nothing. I no longer have migraines, my digestive issues have almost disappeared and for the first time in so many years, I no longer put my hand in front of my mouth to cover my smile or my laughter.

After the surgery in 2018, when I came back to Canada, people that knew me could not believe the difference in my face. People were telling me and still tell me that I looked / look 10 years younger. I went back for the second part of the procedure, which was to put in the final prosthesis in 2019. Today, I look at photos of 2017 and the photos of today and I am SO proud of my smile and my face as it looks now. Between Dr. Felipe who was so incredibly amazing, knowledgeable and again, gave me the perfect combination of medications (I would never do any kind of surgery, especially dental like this without anesthesia) and Dr. Armenta, who is very much a perfectionist as I came to learn after hours of sitting in his chair and am so greatful for, I honestly don't have enough words to express my gratitude. I will never be able to describe in words the difference that he has made in my life.

It is now 2023, I have had zero issues, been for some check ups with dentists in Canada who have all remarked that they have not seen work like this very often.
Dr. Armenta, I say it every time that I come and see you and I am saying it again, you honestly gave me an amazing gift and I will never, ever forget all that you did and continue to do for me.

Highest grade for Armenta. They not only did top-notch work on our teeth, they were continually juggling their schedules to accommodate our needs as they were determined by our examinations and work in progress. Highly recommended. We'll likely be back for further work if and as needed.

Both my husband and I have had quite a few treatments done…bridge and inserts, root canal, crown, deep cleaning and fillings. They have the most competent and qualified group of dental assistants, receptionist, hygienist.

Dr. Benjamin Armenia is so accommodating and professional. We have been going to this dental office for a couple of years, and have never had an issue. 100% recommend.

I had my teeth cleaned on Jan. 29 2022 at Armenta Dental Studio. So pleased with the procedure. The staff were very professional, prompt and I was so pleased with the result.

I highly recommend Armenta Dental Clinic for Americans in Puerto Vallarta. It is very modern and DDS Armenta was the best. My spouse and I did consult. DDS Armenta took the time to discuss options and costs. I went thinking I wanted veneers. He explained why that was not a good option and what the better options were. He does not try to “up-sell” but offered options with costs.

I went to have two lower front teeth crowned, Benjamin had already quoted for the work.
It worked out I needed the same treatment for three teeth.
My original estimate was approximately $400 per tooth my new estimate came in at $325 per tooth.

This is my second trip to see Dr. Armenta so I knew I was in expert hands, he did a dental implant 4 years ago and had no issues.
My new porcelain crowns match perfectly in color and natural appearance.

I went to Dr Armenta for implants. He performed an oral surgery that included extracting teeth, bone graft, and installing implants.
Dr Armenta's standard of practice and equipment was no different than a dentist in Canada, only his fee was half of what it would have cost me in Canada. He patiently explained to me details of his surgery. My recovery was completely pain-free.

I highly recommend Dr Armenta to anyone visiting Mexico for dental treatments.

Dr. Armenta was very detailed and competent. He gave me his assessment of my work that has been from another dentist and he gave me a thorough cleaning.

I plan to use this dentist from here on.

Had full mouth restoration in less than a month (and by full mouth i mean every crown on every tooth) , i wont lie it is not pleasant as every tooth is involved but Dr Armenta made it as pleasant as this thing can be. Very detail oriented, always communicating and explaining every detail. You can see he is an expert in his field. He spent full days including some weekends working on my mouth for up to 9 hours a day....

Very clean, Hi End atmosphere, you always have at least two people taking care of your needs at all times, people speak both english and spanish fluently,Make sure to schedule ahead of time as he does have alot of patients.

The dental work that I had done by Dr. Benjamin is wonderful. He worked so hard to make my teeth as beautiful as possible. I had a complicated situation and it took longer to complete, but this was because Benjamin is such a perfectionist! I've recommended him to several people and will be going back for routine maintenance. The staff and Benjamin's wife (also a dentist) couldn't have been more accomplished and kind. Staying in Puerta Vallarta made it an all around good experience!

This clinic was chosen because the ratings were all high and the fact that Dr. Benjamin phoned me, I felt that we were acquainted before I arrived. He is a very nice man, young and up to date with all the new procedures.

The amount of work I needed was simply out of reach for me financially, as a retired single senior, living in Canada. A friend told me about the growing dental tourism industry in Mexico and suggested I take a much needed vacation and have the work done there.

I was sceptical at first, but once I saw Dr. Armenta's website I was convinced. The work I required was 12 crowns, a bridge and a partial plate and was accomplished in just 5 appointments, over a two week period.

I have never seen such a pristinely clean, state of the art office. Very impressive!

The staff were wonderful. Professional, friendly and they offered me the ultimate in care and quality of work.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Armenta!
