What is Gum Surgery?

Gum surgery is a surgical procedure to treat periodontal gum diseases. There are two types of gum surgery.

. One can't even tell I had any work done - each bonding is seamlessPage, Costa Rica, 12 08 23

We learned of Prisma Dental through International Living during one of their conferences in Costa Rica. They gave a presentation and I spoke with one of their representatives at their table during the conference. My husband and I both needed dental work. His was going to be extremely expensive in the US, so we took the leap and made an appointment online with Luis at Prisma Dental and traveled back to Costa Rica. My husband was extremely apprehensive and wanted complete sedation, but Dr Nadine Rubinstein was so gentle that she was able to remove 13 tooth roots with just numbing. He had no pain during the procedure or that evening. By the next day they had his very natural looking dentures ready! He will be back in 6 months for implants. I needed bonding on my lower front teeth and a cracked back molar fixed. I, too, was apprehensive, but with a mild sedative, Dr. Carolina Nunez built up the back molar and bonded nine lower teeth - all painlessly. The next day, she permanently cemented the new back molar. One can't even tell I had any work done - each bonding is seamless. From arranging for the appointment with Luis to being incredibly kind when we walked in the front door - topped off with the terrific work they did, it was a great experience - and the cost was a fraction of what we would have paid in the US.

Saw this very well equipped clinic with very friendly and professional staffGrace, Canada, 22 01 21

Myself and my husband, we had some dental work to be done and we found out about Dr Cavallinis clinic. We came to SAN Jose Costa Rica and saw this very well equipped clinic with very friendly and professional staff. We had done implants, crowns, bone grafting and some teeth restoration within one week. We stayed in a very clean Casa Marko hotel next to the clinic, which was very convenient. Thank you, Dr Marco Cavallini, Dr Mora and all doctors and dental assistants and all the staff.

I have been visiting this dental clinic for years now, whenever the need arosePierre, Costa Rica, 17 11 23

AMAZING!!! I have just had another very satisfactory experience with Dr. Aura Nuñez at Premier Dental Clinic in Jaco, Costa Rica. The clinic is spotless, the staff is friendly, and the dental work is done with world-class professionalism. I am Canadian, and I have been visiting this dental clinic for years now, whenever the need arose. For many reasons, not the least of which being the prices, I sincerely recommend Dr. Aura and the rest of the kind staff at Premier Dental.
