Is it really safe to get Dental Implants in Costa Rica?
If you’re exploring affordable dental care, you’ve likely discovered the growing number of people choosing dental implants in Costa Rica. As dental prices rise across the United States and Canada, many patients are turning to international options that offer equal—if not superior—quality at a far more accessible cost. Costa Rica has earned its reputation as one of the safest, most trusted destinations for dental implant treatments thanks to its advanced clinics, experienced professionals, and consistent patient satisfaction.
Why Costa Rica Leads in Affordable Dental Implant Care
Many travelers choose dental implants in Costa Rica because local clinics offer modern medical technology and internationally trained implant specialists. The majority of dental centers use the same FDA-approved titanium implant materials recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA)

Had crowns done 7 years ago and just went back with partner to get crowns done. They are the nicest people and do a great job.Publicado en Allan CTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I had dental treatment at the CR Dental Clinic and Lab for the second time. When I first visited the office in 2019, I had a number of ceramic crowns done. They continue to be comfortable with no difficulties or surprises. In February 2024, I had a dental bridge done to repair a gap in my lower molars. This procedure was equally successful. The work was so precise that it's impossible to see that there is a bridge in place. I highly recommend this dental practice. The office has a amiable staff, and each patient is treated respectfully and professionally.Publicado en Allen WeinbergTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. the people are great and worth the trip to save lots of money, not done yet but doing good !Publicado en roger cortesTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.

Fantastic real pricing on my budget. I recommend them to everyone I know. Roge: Orlando FloridaPublicado en John SessaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I needed both a Root Canal and a Crown. Francisco, the owner, greeted me at the door and could not have been more friendly and more accommodating. I was seen exactly at the time of my appointment. No waiting. The dentist, Dr. Andrea, who is an Endodontist, spoke English, and explained what she would be doing that afternoon. She had 15+ years dental experience. She did an efficient job on my Root Canal. I had no pain. I felt very relaxed due to the sanitary and professional environment. It's a newly built office space. State-of-the-Art equipment and furnishings. As an American who expects professional service, Dr. Andrea did an excellent job. I highly recommend the Costa Rica Dental Clinic.Publicado en Jordan JohnsonTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. 10/10 would highly recommend and will be returning! 🦷✨Publicado en SauliusTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I flew in from the US, as the clinic came recommended from a friend of mine. I also did research on other clinics in Costa Rica, but this one gave better prices - plus I noticed that the other ones geared to foreigners / medical tourists - are not owned by dental professionals themselves, but by business men / marketing professionals. My upper front teeth unfortunately needed crowns (I destroyed them from all the grinding) and I wanted to take care of them before I would need implants. I came in the prior week on Monday, where my teeth were prepared for the crowns, and I was fit with temporary crowns - and then two days later on Wednesday evening I got the Zirconia crowns. The dentist and the lab technician spent many countless of hours working together. They extensively worked on my bite, to make sure that the crowns would not be abrasive and wear down the opposing teeth. After the crowns were ready and fitted - they spent many more hours patiently working on them further doing various adjustments to my preference. Now, I have a beautiful smile, and I tell people I went to the dentist, and they think I got some fillings - nobody seems to realize that my new front teeth are crowns -- and everybody I show and tell - they are impressed and tell me that it looks fantastic.
