Can you believe I saved over $28K on my dental work by hopping on a plane to beautiful Costa Rica? What started as a search for affordable implants turned into one of the most amazing adventures of my life! From the moment I landed in San Jose, everything was perfect, staying at the gorgeous Alta Las Palomas hotel, being driven everywhere by the wonderful Nova Dental team, and working with Dr. Obando who treated me like family. Instead of the $40K quote I got in Hawaii, my EIGHT implants cost a around $12K total!

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants in Costa Rica are significantly more affordable than in many other countries. The average cost for a single-tooth implant is approximately $800, which is about half of what you'd expect to pay in the United States. Full-mouth restorations typically range from $20,000 to $25,000, offering substantial savings compared to U.S. prices.
Yes, Costa Rica is considered a safe destination for dental tourism. The country boasts excellent healthcare standards and a robust tourism industry. Many dental clinics are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly trained professionals. However, it's essential to conduct thorough research on potential clinics, including reviews, accreditations, and dentist credentials, to ensure a safe and satisfactory experience.
To ensure you're receiving care from a qualified professional, verify that the dentist is properly licensed by Costa Rica's Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas (College of Dental Surgeons). Additionally, you can check for board certifications and memberships in international dental organizations. Many reputable clinics provide information about their dentists' credentials on their websites

- Post-Procedure Care: Understand the aftercare requirements and ensure you have access to necessary medications or follow-up consultations before returning home.
