The crazy dream that became a reality

Los Algodones, Mexico, is known for its dental services. But we knew this could be done better.

Listening to patient experiences, we’re sad to know that quite a lot of them weremistreated: instead of going through a human-centered, empathetic, and devotedexperience, they lived what they defined as a “dental factory”.

By then, a vision was traced. Something needed to be done, and it had to be done quickly.

With an entrepreneurial spirit, years of experience amassed, and a crazy dream to offer something extraordinary in a land dominated by well-known “get it done quick”dentists, Rose Dental Studio was born.

Now, we bring you this effort that promises exceptional patient service — one you’ll have a hard time not bragging about to your friends and family.
