About Dental Costa Rica
Located in one of the most exclusive areas in San Jose, Dental Costa Rica has been dedicated to providing oral and dental health services to both local and international patients from North America for the past decade.
The clinic’s promise is to stand apart from other competitors in the Costa Rican capital by providing genuine quality, effective management and personalized attention to each of their patients, creating new, healthier smiles and thus helping them achieve a better overall quality of life.
As well as dental care, the clinic’s esthetics department also offers a number of face and neck surgeries, such as rhinoplasty (“nose job”) and blepharoplasty (eyelid work).
Dental Costa Rica works with an experienced team of experts who utilize some of the latest technology for effective diagnosis and evaluations, as well as the design and production of various prosthetic devices to restore smile function and esthetics. The warm, friendly environment has been created to help patients coming from far and wide feel at home here in Costa Rica.
The clinic is specialized and focused in complete dental rehabilitations, which includes full-arch restorations on multiple implants (such as All-on-4), as well as smile makeovers with the application of high-quality, durable crowns or veneers–depending on the esthetic goals of each patient.
With both national and international recognitions, the team here works together to provide services encompassing odontology, general dentistry, orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, implantology, endodontics and temporo-mandibular joint treatment.
