DDS Dental Costa Rica - Dr. Prada

I had my teeth done here about 3 years ago. The quality of work, staff, and communication was all top-notch. A little more expensive than other places but more than worth it as I have had no problems. Dr Prada takes his time and consults with his other doctors to make the perfect decision. After all, this wasn't investment for me, I wanted the best. And that's what I got.

I would highly recommend Dr. Prada for dental treatment. I consulted Dr. Prada in connection with a full mouth reconstruction consisting of crowns on substantially all of my teeth and included raising my rear molars to correct my bite. The procedures were conducted over a period of a little over two weeks. Dr. Prada was excellent - I could not be happier. Dr. Prada is an extremely professional, communicative and patient prosthodontist. He took a great deal of time and care with my treatments and the results are better than I could have hoped for. His integrity is impeccable. Dr. Prada and every one of the other dentists that assisted, including Drs. Marin and Gonzalez, were also excellent and caring. Each member of staff speaks excellent English, including Karol, the patient coordinator. The clinic has the most up to date technologies and is very modern. The clinic is located in Escazu, a nice neighborhood. One huge advantage is that Dr. Prada has a laboratory at the same facility where they make, among other things, dental implants and crowns for Dr. Prada's own practice and other dental practices in Costa Rica. The quality of the crowns is exceptional. Also, a further advantage of the clinic is that it has dentists in-house from multiple specialties, all of whom are very capable in their own fields. Of course, the cost of all of my treatments was substantially lower than the estimate I received in the U.S.; however, I intend returning to DDS primarily because of their high level of professionalism and customer care.

DDS was absolutely professional all the way! From pick up by the driver from the airport to the final day. I had to have several procedures(implants, deep cleaning and gum surgery) over the course of a week and half and . Dr. Prada and Dr. Gonzales were skillful and patient, Karol the patient coordinator and the entire clinical staff was very professional and friendly, the facility was very clean and comfortable. Best dental experience I've had. I would highly recommend this practice for dental work. The prices were unbeatable!! although not the cheapest in town but quality of work is superb.

I have been going to Dr Prada and his colleagues at DDS Dental for two years. I had one dental implant and efforts were made to do another. Unfortunately, the other one did not take, despite three tries by Dr. Gonzalez, the dental surgeon who works there. It seems to be a problem of my body rejecting the implant. So they proposed a small device with a modelled tooth attached, so that there would not be a nasty space between my teeth. I was hesitant at first, but it seemed the only option. Truly professional, they crafted the device, and I adjusted to it within hours. While I was charged (reasonably)for the first implant and preparations for the second, they did not charge me for the device because the other procedures had failed. I was and am truly amazed at this gesture and have nothing but praise for DDS Dental!

Due to deteriorating dental health conditions, I decided to follow an All-on-Four replacement procedure. After interviewing dental companies in the United States and Costa Rica, I chose DDS Dental in large part because I trusted Dr. Prada. I was also comforted by the number of All-on-Four procedures that his office performs in a year. And they were clear with me that I should understand that four on four can be a challenging procedure, for a variety of reasons. About a year later, I decided to follow the All-on-Four procedure and chose DDS. In fact, we faced challenges because of my upper jaw bone condition. Completing the procedure took longer than expected and required follow-up work. DDS never wavered in its commitment to me to achieve a successful outcome. It took a few visits and a significant commitment from DDS - they kept their promise! I am completely happy with the end result. DDS staff treated me like family. I invited them to visit me and my family in New Mexico and be our guest. You rarely find this level of commitment and competence in any field. I am pleased that I decided to follow an All-on-Four procedure. And I am very happy that I chose to do the work in Costa Rica and for DDS.
