A propos DDS Dental Costa Rica - Dr. Prada

DDS Dental Costa Rica is located in Escazu, San Jose, away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city and near attractive tourist attractions. The clinic offers a wide range of services from general dentistry to complex treatments including dental implants, full mouth restorations, and cosmetic dentistry.

DDS Dental Costa Rica adheres to the strictest national standards as well as the American Dental Association requirements in providing world-class dental care to patients. Dentists here are specialists who have been trained locally and abroad in the United States and Europe


These professionals do not perform any treatment until there is a mutual agreement between them and the patients in all phases of the treatment plan. This rule is based on DDS Dental Costa Rica's deep respect for the needs and desires of each patient. The staff listens to all concerns and answers every question that a patient may have concerning their dental problem and treatment.


DDS Dental Costa Rica provides personalized care and service for a patient from the time of arrival to departure. On arrival in Costa Rica, a patient is met by a Patient Services Coordinator who will be in charge of transportation from the airport to the patient's hotel or residence. The coordinator will also assist the patient with the entire schedule of clinic appointments. This is part of DDS Dental Costa Rica's attempt to ensure that a patient is in good hands throughout their treatment period in Costa Rica.


DDS Dental also offers hotel recommendations for foreign patients and assists in reservations if needed. When patients are free from dental appointments, the clinic also offers day tours to tourist attractions around DDS Dental Costa Rica that include white sandy beaches, lush rain forests, volcanoes, and hot springs.


At DDS Dental Costa Rica, patients will have the opportunity to finally receive the smile that they have always wanted as they enjoy all the beautiful natural attractions that Costa Rica has to offer.
