Why patients choose Costa Rica Dental

Your plan is made by specialists, not a generalist

Complex implant cases involve surgery, bite design and sometimes saving natural teeth. Our prosthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon and endodontist review your case together, so the final teeth — not just the surgery — drive the plan.

Clear answers before you book a flight

From your X-rays or a panoramic image, we explain what can be estimated remotely and what must be confirmed in person. You get a preliminary plan, an estimated cost and the number of trips before you travel.

Bilingual from the first message

Every conversation can happen in English or Spanish — by phone from the US (+1 303-529-1848), by email or in person.

Digital planning and 3D imaging

Implant positions are planned from 3D imaging, which helps protect nerves and sinuses and place implants where the final teeth need them.

Care that continues after you fly home

We stay in contact after treatment, schedule your follow-up and coordinate with your home dentist for routine maintenance.
