Fluoride Therapy San José

Going to a foreign country to get extensive, complicated dental work can be very daunting and stressful. The idea was suggested to me by a man on Facebook. At first, I thought "are you crazy" but then when faced with the enormous cost of having the work done here in the States I knew we had to do something. My husband has M.S. and the medications he is on have wreaked havoc on his teeth. The cost of doing the necessary work in the U.S. would run in the 30K to 50K range. We are on a fixed income with only a small retirement account. What to do. I researched for over two months. I talked with the M.S. society. They referred me to someone for a loan. I talked with Washington State University Dental and their criteria were complicated with no guarantee he would be seen. If they did see him it wouldn't be before 2019. We needed the work done soon to avoid further damage to his gums and bone. We researched Mexico and found the crime rate concerning, and the reviews warned us the dentist there will try to talk you into more work than necessary. Their warranty ran two years. I contacted 10 dental offices in Costa Rica, sent them my husband's panoramic x-rays and asked for estimates and plans of care they thought would be necessary. The estimates varied in costs and the contact follow up of some were lacking. I read literally hundreds of reviews and talked with people who had dental work done in CR. I even joined an ex-pat Costa Rica Facebook page to talk with people who live there. After weeks of research, I had two finalists. Both had the right answers to what we were looking for but one had a better price. These were the important things to us: The doctor's education and years in practice. Quality of materials used. Was the lab on site? A pharmacy was next door. Medical attention was available. Was the doctor comfortable with working on an M.S. patient? What was their warranty? How long would we be in the country? Geovanna is the contact. She is thorough, high energy and fun to work with. Dr. Cesar Salas looks very young but is well qualified and experienced. He made sure my husband understood every step of the way what was happening and why. Francisco is an artist in the lab. He takes pride in his work and well should. Jose, the driver they have to pick you up and take you to appointments, was a true pleasure. We spent time with him on tours of the country. We did not need a car and I would not have wanted to drive in Costa Rica's crazy traffic. So how much did we save? The avenue of reconstruction they choose for my husband would have cost no less than 50K in the states. We paid less than 15K. Thank you Costa Rica Dental Clinic Lab!! We could not have been more pleased. From the minute we saw our driver with his big friendly smile to the dentist and his obvious caring concern about our needs to the incredible artistry of the teeth made by the lab. You cannot go wrong with Costa Rica Dental Clinic Lab.

I would highly recommend Costa Rica Dental Services. The doctor was very friendly and forthright with his treatment plan and cost.

15 - 20 mins waiting time (not bad). Simple, straight forward and accurate with the panoramic x ray. (in 3 minutes!) Received a print out and e mail of the x ray. Fee was reasonable. Overall was prompt and well processed and friendly. No complaints!!
