Cosmetic Dentist Consultation San José

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.

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 !!

Everything about this experience was perfect. The facilities were clean, modern and everything u would expect. This experience was amazing. People were beyond professional. I would go back anytime.

I have been to many dentists across different continents, but my experience with Costa Rica Dental Team was the most amazing I have ever had. I had a lot of work done—five crowns, an old root canal cleaned out, a metal filling removed and replaced with a white filling, and a piece of an old extraction removed. I was in the chair for four and a half hours with zero pain, and believe me, I have a phobia of needles. Dr. Jessica Mora was the best dentist I have ever seen. Four days later, I had my crowns fitted with no adjustments needed. Her meticulous approach to setting the crowns was incredible. Jessica literally X-rayed my crowns more than 25 times in just 15 minutes to ensure every crown was perfect—she wouldn’t settle for anything less than absolute perfection. I will never have major dental work done in the USA again. I have already recommended Costa Rica Dental Team to friends and family, and believe me, it's worth the trip—the cost in the USA would have been astronomical. Thank you for the great service.

Excellent excellent excellent and did I say excellent? Friendly and pain free.
