Permanent Bridge San José

I met with Dr Gadea of Costa Rica Dental Services after doing an online review of several dentists in the San Jose area. This particular surgery had not been on my short list of dentists; it just caught my eye as I walked by and I decided to pay an exploratory visit. I’m glad I did! The cleanliness of the place, the sophistication of the equipment, and the professionalism of both Dr Gadea, who is perfectly fluent in English, and his staff, were impressive. I knew right away that I was in good hands. On my first appointment, Dr. Gadea made a thorough visual examination of my teeth while his assistant took written notes of his findings. Next, his assistant took x-rays of my upper and lower jaws, which a computer-compiled into a three-dimensional on-screen image. I was shown the x-rays and kept fully informed throughout all the procedures. My dental work required the extraction of an abscessed tooth, a bone graft (since the abscess had resulted in bone loss) and a total three implants and associated crowns. Dr Gadea’s skill was exemplary. As a result of his good work, I now have a full set of pearly whites and can smile again without embarrassment, all at a fraction of the cost of the same dental surgery in the United States. I do not hesitate to highly recommend him.

Before selecting Dr. Marco/Cavallini Clinic, I did considerable online research reading reviews and educational backgrounds of personnel. After narrowing the possible clinics down to 5 or 6, I sent copies of my x-rays. Each responded with price estimates. Dr. Marco/Cavallini was not the cheapest nor most expensive, but he differentiated himself by providing far more information regarding the procedure, timing, materials, etc. and answering all questions. I had 1 implant, 2 caps, and 2 teeth removed. The initial consultation at the Clinic and first tooth extraction for the implant was done by Dr. Marco although subsequent work was done by his colleagues, each of whom was extremely professional and personable. After my initial extraction, Dr. Marco made it clear not to hesitate to call should I have too much discomfort. The equipment is state of the art. The work required a total of 3 trips to Costa Rica. The only negative were the long waits since precise appointments were not possible. However, this did improve considerably between my first and last visit. As for responsiveness, Dr. Marco is amazing on this. Any inquiry would be answered by him personally within 24 hours. Everyone at the clinic couldn't be nicer nor more professional. This is an extremely well-managed operation. Highly recommend without hesitation.
