Dental Bridges San Rafael, Costa Rica

My son received dental treatment at the clinic and was very satisfied. I recommended it.

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.

Gabriel Fallas communication skills were extremely precise; he was thoughtful and considerate of myself (the patient) and my fiancé. We were escorted from the plane through customs and to our hotel, Gabriel had everything set up promptly. Our experience in Costa Rica was great! Gabriel arranged transportation to all of the appointments; he was even available for non-appointment related excursions as a translator as well as alternate transportation. Gabriel remained humble and patient throughout the entire process. The physician was phenomenal; He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the procedure. He checked for allergies and comorbidities prior to traveling, that would interfere with anesthesia and treatment. The physician explained the post-op care and Gabriel reviewed the diet change & post-op care with my fiancé and myself prior to our arrival back to the hotel; this by far has been quite an experience and I can't wait to return in December.

I came to Costa Rica at the end of February 2023 to work with Dr. Gadea and I had a wonderful experience. I was referred to him by a number of his patients who had successful experiences with him, and they live in North Carolina. The doctor and I emailed back-and-forth since the fall. He never hesitated to get back to me as soon as possible when I had questions. As a woman on my own, traveling to Costa Rica for dental work, I felt safe and secure, I felt supported and listened to by Dr. Gadea and his lovely staff. Everyone was kind and considerate. Everyone speaks wonderful English as well. His office has state of the art equipment to help further diagnose. My treatment plan consisted of six veneers, a root canal and a crown, a deep cleaning over my six veneers as well as teeth whitening. Dr. Gadea is an artist. He did an amazing job on my six front teeth. He did a fabulous job on my teeth in general. Even the anesthesia the doctor used seemed cleaner than the products they use at my general dentist in North Carolina. I am so grateful for him and his wonderful staff. I am so relieved that I am in network with Dr. Gadea. I will be going back every year that I can because I trust him with his superior artistic skills and his exemplary technical skills.

Dr. Urzola is not just a highly trained oral surgeon he also cares. You are not just a number at Urzola Clinic. From the time you enter their office you are in excellent hands. The entire staff treat you like you are their only patient. Everyone I dealt with Cristina, Adriana and everyone else were all trained professionals that cared about your comfort. The procedure I had was all-on-6 for my lowers and I will be returning for the same procedure for my upper teeth. Compared to US prices it is worth going to Costa Rica. The bonus is you get to travel to a foreign country. My next trip to Costa Rica I will be exploring their diverse countryside. Mountains, volcanos, rain forests and beaches.

I highly recommend Dr. Jehova Rafa without reservation! I have been at dentists around the world due to an accident I had when I was 11 years old. I had a lot of operations until I was 28 years old, but there were still some things to do on my lower jaw. I was looking for a relatively pain-free and affordable treatment. A dentist in Germany suggested implanting gum from my palate to give my lower jaw more stability. Others from the U.S suggested implants or bridges. All this means destroying additional teeth that are basically still healthy. Dr. Jehova Rafa on the other hand suggested veneers and he corrected four teeth within a week. I can't tell you enough how happy that makes me. Finally, a dentist who's not just seeing a "money-making-machine" in me, but has my best interests in mind! I love the result! It gives me so much confidence and I can finally smile like a beautiful butterfly! If you're looking for a trustworthy dentist, Dr. Jehova Rafa is the way to go!
