All-on-4 Dental Implants San José

I had a full mouth restoration of upper and lower teeth. Dr. Urzola was great! He went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. The Clinic was awesome and helped with various local things such as finding a Hotel. When we had arrived we could not find the office and he gave us directions and even flagged us down. Of course, the clinic does offer pickup and drop off but I wanted to explore. I had X rays done and found out I still had an Impacted wisdom tooth under my gums we talked about my X-Ray and I asked if he could get rid of that as well and he said he would. The surgery went great just about painless and he stitched everything up for form and to reduce bleeding. He immediately got started on fitting the new teeth after surgery. They took another X-Ray afterwards, no bone fragments no infections just the posts and jawbones. After surgery care, they made sure that my recovery was smooth he even made sure I had aftercare products like a jaw ice pack, water pik, and oral care products and prescribed medication to prevent infection swelling and pain. It took a couple of days to make the teeth with several aesthetic trials but they prioritize making sure that everything fits well and that you have a proper bite and take input colour as well. But most of all they were very friendly and really care about their patients.

I couldn't be more pleased with Star Dental, friendly and accommodating and above all Dr Carolina Cespedes is a perfectionist. They picked me up at the airport, I had a great apartment at a 4-star hotel at a great rate. Provided a driver for all appointments who went out of his way to accommodate me, stopping by the store etc. I had an "All on 4" for a lot less than a U.S. price, done by bank draft that was prearranged with my bank. It was not done until I called to initiate it from the office in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Star Dental and feel I had the greatest care in the world. Dr Carolina Cespedes.

I had a wonderful experience at Clear Choice Costa Rica. I worked through Gabriel and he was so patient, helpful, and kind. He handled booking my room, getting me through the airport, to and from the airport, to and from the appointments. It’s not easy to have full extractions and implants but they make the process as easy as possible. I will return in 6 weeks for my permanents. (6 months after the temporaries) I would recommend using them if you’re considering implants.

I went for porcelain veneers, however, after I got there he also took all the metal fillings out and replaced with white(6). Put a post and crown in an old root canal, bleached the bottoms and replaced my bonding with the porcelain veneers. They did it all in 4 days. He has several dentists working in different areas. Transportation was provided in both ways. The clinic was clean and the equipment very advanced. The dentist all spoke English, the rest of the staff tried. San Jose on the side we were on is a very run down area. Bars and night time security. However, we felt safe but we did not wander. Prices on everything is higher than the States except the dental work. Price was about 1/8 of what I was quoted in the USA.

I had great treatment. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Had everything done within the time frame I set. They care about you and your smile and do everything in their power to make it the best possible one, even if that means sending 2 crowns back to the lab because they weren't fitting right. I had 4 crowns and 2 nerve treatments done and I am very happy with the results. Definitely recommend them.

I have had my All-On-4 for a YEAR as of today! I waited to do the review because something as major/expensive / life-changing as an ALL-ON-4 isn't something that can honestly be reviewed after just a few days. I was born with Enamel Hypoplasia; that is, my adult teeth didn't have any enamel. I was told when I was a teenager that I would be wearing dentures by the time I was 25. I decided to do my best to take care of what I had - I brushed after every meal, I flossed, etc. My teeth lasted until I was 56! I tried several times to get my teeth fixed in the US (starting in 1989) and the price / procedure kept changing including the first time I started in 1989 and I had already paid the dentist over $5k (in 1989 $). Any how, I visited a few more dentists up here in Texas throughout the years and never got a good feeling for they were going to do for me (price was all the way to $100k with a WHOLE year of warranty). I first reached out to Goodness Dental in 2016 and they were very informative and had me send down a panoramic x-ray of my teeth. I was told that if my gums were in good shape (they are), they recommended an ALL-ON-4 and it would take two trips to Costa Rica 6 months apart. Covid19 finally allowed me the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica in December of 2020 - they yanked all my TEETH!!! For the first couple of days, I was thinking WTF did I just do. They screwed by bottom temporaries in and gave me a set of removeable upper CLOWN teeth (I only wore them for the minimum recommended 1 hour a day as I couldn't talk/chew with them). My family and I travelled back to Costa Rica in June/July 2021 for the permanent teeth. They told me for most it would take a couple of months to get used to it - since I was used to having no teeth for the previous 6 months, it only took me a few days. The procedure has been life changing as I finally have teeth that are super sensitive to things like lemons and other acidic fruits, I can chew without shifting food around from side to side in my mouth, etc. The only thing I would ding Goodness Dental for it there has been no follow-up since I left to see how was I adjusting to my new teeth. Since I haven't had any issues, this hasn't been a big deal to me - but I know others who need the follow up.

My husband had bone repair & dental implants. We both had porcelain caps put in. Amazingly, there was no pain involved. Could not have gone more smoothly. The dental team were very good with their skills. They were competent & thorough and really aimed to please. Would recommend them highly.
