Have you ever noticed that prices in other countries are a lot cheaper? Housing is cheaper, food is cheaper, everything is cheaper. This includes healthcare and dentistry. Going to Costa Rica can save in excess of 70% what you might pay for similar work in the United States.
In addition to the financial reasons, Costa Rica is a wonderful place to visit. Costa Rican women are beautiful and friendly, the beaches are clean and exotic, and the country is safe.
For the most part, dentists in Costa Rica have been educated in American dental schools. Their practices offer exactly the same things as anything other dentist office would. This list includes, but is not limited to teeth whitening, composite and porcelain veneers, dental implants, bonding, bridges, tooth contouring and reshaping. If you're an older person looking for dental work, you can get denture work, fillings, crowns, caps, and of course the dreaded root canal.
No! Immediately on your arrival to Costa Rica, you will be transported safely to the dentists office in a modern taxi or shuttle. The dentist will have all types of suggestions on where to stay while you are in the country, and beaches to visit. He will make sure that you understand all the opportunities for travel that you have. In some procedures, such as dental veneers, you will have to make several visits to see the dentist, separated by time where you can travel and explore the countryside.
