English-Speaking Dentist for Expats & Tourists

Credentials

Certified to U.S. dental board standards

Dr. Meta has passed both parts of the National Board Dental Examination administered in the United States — Part I in 2007 and Part II in 2021 — the same standardized examination U.S.-trained dentists are required to pass. That formal credentialing is paired with three years spent living and training in Columbus, Ohio (2004–2007) as a graduate researcher at The Ohio State University, which means he understands not only the clinical standards American patients expect, but how they prefer to be communicated with.

Recognition

Recommended by the U.S. Embassy since 2008

Dr. Meta is the suggested dentist of the U.S. Embassy in Argentina for U.S. citizens and Foreign Service personnel stationed in the country, and also treats patients from multinational companies and long-term expatriate residents of Buenos Aires.

Practical notes for visitors to Buenos Aires

Where the practice is located

The office is in Palermo, Buenos Aires (CABA) — a central, walkable neighborhood well served by taxis and rideshare apps, convenient for both residents and short-term visitors staying nearby.

Emergency & urgent visits

Tourists and short-term visitors with dental pain, a broken tooth or a lost restoration can typically be seen on short notice — contact the office directly to describe the issue.

Planning treatment around a trip

For visitors combining dental work with travel, treatment plans are sequenced around your itinerary where clinically appropriate, with clear guidance on what can be completed in one visit versus what requires a follow-up trip.
