Root Canals Costa Rica

I lost most of my teeth many years ago except for 5 on the bottom. I had a set of dentures on the top and partial dentures on the bottom that I got used to wearing. I hated the look of my face though, the shallow old man look and my wife was constantly complaining that I was sucking my teeth. However, I got a new set of dentures that fitted me perfectly and I was really happy. I kept thinking though about getting implants and how it would feel to be able to feel my palate again at the top while I was eating, especially at times when the dentures because loose and needed to be re-glued. Over the past 5 years I had done a lot of research into implants. Clicking on the links that offered free flights and hotel and luxury cars etc. I looked at everywhere except of the UK and Ireland where the prices were very high. I looked at Turkey, Hungary, Croatia, Costa Rica and even India. They all promised to place various numbers of implants in my mouth and various types of teeth on the implants at various prices. Turkey seemed to be the cheapest. I had more than a dozen detailed quotes and I chose Turkey. I went to Antalya with the cash in my pocket but after a last minute phone call from my wife who had read about some implant horror story, I chickened out and spent the money on fake watches and handbags for the family. I was quite happy with my new dentures anyway. A year passed and I was now in the USA where I received a nice email from Christina at Urzola Dentistry, asking how I was getting on with my implant search. I told her that I was still looking and she convinced me to get a panoramic x-ray to show to Dr. Urzola. I went to another famous and very expensive dentist in Florida for the x-ray, his opinion on what was needed and a quote. His opinion was that the bone in my upper jaw was far too thin to hold implants and that I was need a special fitting that screwed on the side of the bone to hold new teeth. The bottom was ok. The quote was $50,000+. I sent this x-ray to Dr. Uzola who told me that he was sure there was enough bone in the upper jaw for the implants and more than enough in the bottom. The price was a lot cheaper for the whole thing. I would have to go there for an examination to be sure. I took the plunge and went to Costa Rica after researching other Costa Rica dentists and finding that they were at least 50% more than Dr. Urzola. It also helped to know that one of Dr. Urzola's patients was President Biden's brother. I was still very apprehensive. I shouldn't have been. Dr. Urzola is extremely professional as is his staff. His surgery is modern and clean. I went under general surgery and woke up a few hours later with 9 implants including 4 on the top where the other guy said couldn't be done. I was fitted with really nice temporary teeth and they look brilliant. Feel natural. I go back in a couple of months for the final zirconium teeth and a Hollywood smile. It's really tough finding the right implant surgeon. They are doing it all over the world and promise you the earth but Dr. Urzola is the real thing. Great work, great price. 5 stars. See you soon for my final fitting and thank you.

If you're ever in need of a fantastic dentist, I highly recommend coming to San Jose, Costa Rica! After losing my front teeth and neighboring tooth in an accident at age 11, I've undergone numerous operations and tried almost every possible dental treatment by age 37. I've had to replace my front teeth every 10 years or so, especially during my younger years when I was still growing. I've been with Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for a couple of years now, and he's the first dentist who not only does a technically great job but also considers aesthetics - which is super rare, believe me! Highly recommend Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for professional and cosmetic treatment - he's one of the best dentists I've ever experienced!!

The clinic and staff were wonderful. The staff took the time to explain everything before working on me. They were so thorough and kind. They made me feel very comfortable. they were very helpful helping me make all the arrangements to get there. I will come back to do my dental work.

Dr. Gadea Ramirez is an exceptionally talented dentist. From my initial consultation and smile analysis, he explained corrective procedures in detail with absolutely no pressure as to what he can do and for how much. I had two implants, three crowns and seven veneers done. My smile wasn't bad to begin with, but now it is amazing. He is an exceptional detail orientated dentist, he wants your teeth to look and feel like perfect teeth. He uses only the best materials available in the USA. His office has the very best and newest dental imaging, x-ray and procedural equipment and his staff are all very friendly and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Gadea to anyone needing or wanting a nice smile or dental surgery completed. I saved so much money over what this would have cost me in the US (and my son is a Dentist !!). Costa Rica is an incredibly beautiful country once you get outside of San Jose. My wife and I spent over two and half weeks and fell in love with the country. We can't wait to go back and we will most likely spend a month there. Pura Vida !!

Dr. Josef Cordero and his wife, Dr. Telma Rubinstein, bring nearly half of century of experience to their dental practice. Their daughter, Dr. Nadine Cordero contributes unstoppable energy to the team. They are supported by other dedicated members, including Dr. Coraline Nunes, Dr. Roberto Hernandes and Dr. Alejandro Montero. What truly sets this team apart is their passion for their work, which goes beyond financial motivation. In our opinion, this is one of the best dental family businesses in the world. With modern equipment and dental lab inside what can be done in U.S. for years, in Dr. Cordero's office can be done in days with better quality and around a half of the U.S. crazy prices. My wife and I highly recommend them. Our review is based not only on our own opinion, but also on the options of other patients who we interacted with while getting treatment there for one week in April 2025.

Dr. Diego is the BEST! Been going to him for over 10 years now! June
