Porcelain Crown San José

My wife and I spent no less than six or seven hours on the Internet and on the phone with various dental clinics in Costa Rica. I went through chemo and radiation about two years ago for tonsil cancer which killed my salivary glands which in turn killed my teeth. So I was shopping for 10 upper and lower crowns. I shopped prices in Florida and was floored, insane numbers! At the end of the day, after sending my x-rays to numerous dentists in Costa Rica, and having my wife speak to them in Spanish if they were not bilingual, I ended up honing in on Dental Pluss. We dealt with Gabby who was the liaison between the dental facility and the public. I really can’t put my finger on it, I simply had a good vibe dealing with this guy. No hard-sell, in fact, no sell at all! He “face timed” me through the facility and to the hotel where I would be staying across the street. He faced time me with the actual dentist and the on-site lab technician. Pretty much everyone in the entire clinic is bilingual, and, my dentist studied at NYU, and elsewhere. So after weeding through all the other clinics, I chose Dental Pluss. The reader's digest version is that this is a first class organization through and through. The dentist is a freaking perfectionist. Gabby picked up myself, my Wife and kids at the airport, arranged a great deal on a rental car, a fantastic hotel across the street at an incredible price and simply made himself available for a family out of the country on a dental excursion! So, after three visits, over the course of seven days, I have incredibly beautiful teeth. My friends and family are way impressed! As an aside, I told the staff that I wanted really white teeth but not to go over the line and have them look fake. That was a true concern. The lab technician, the Dentist, and Gabby, went through a series of photos, asked things like my height, (length of teeth!) etc. and basically explained the options in very lay terms. I learned that ridges on porcelain crowns reduce reflection, really! So there it is, I got off an aeroplane in Orlando three hours ago and I’m writing this review now because I told Gabby that I would do so, he kept up his end of the deal (excellent work) so I am doing likewise! This is by far the longest review I’ve ever written but deals with the most important issue I’ve dealt with when the provider was found on the Internet.

Dr Andrea and her colleague did an excellent job. Thank you very much, ladies! Totally satisfied with the service and quality provided. Very reasonable prices.

After doing extensive research I decided to have my dental work done at Dr. Cavallini’s office in San Jose Costa Rica. My teeth were in terrible shape! I had many cavities, broken, chipped, three missing teeth and impounded wisdom teeth. My thoughts had been I would need all teeth pulled and either implants or false. After flying to their office from Cincinnati, Oh I received a full assessment of my problems and my case was assigned to Dr Mora. Dr Mora assured me he could give me a full-mouth restoration. I was there my first trip for a week. My wisdom teeth were pulled plus two others. Three implants were put in and all my remaining teeth were ground to receive crowns at a later date. Temporary uppers and lowers were put in place until I would return in around 4 months. On my return for the completion of the restoration, I would have 26 zirconium crowns fitted and placed. Only 2 original teeth were kept in place as they were. Please understand this! When my original teeth were ground to receive crowns at a later date I was left with nerve sensation. Today I have a full mouth of beautiful teeth. I can sense pressure when chewing, my tongue touching my teeth, a finger touching them and when I use my water pic I feel the water hitting them. Dr Mora and his assistant Laura were simply amazing. The whole experience was beyond words. In my words, I must say my teeth are an absolute miracle. I want to express my greatest of gratitude for for my results! Please don’t be afraid to change your life. All my work was done with local anaesthesia and my pain was very limited. My restoration has now been completed for 1 year. They function as if they were my original teeth. Before I end this I need to complement the whole staff and office. They are kind, caring and very professional. Trust me if you are going to Costa Rica for dental your choice should start and end with Dr Cavallini’s office! PS My dental was done for a fraction of US prices!

Dr. Vargas is very professional and gentle. The staff is very accommodating and the office is very stunning and clean. I was very impressed with the care of Dr. Vargas provided. He took a lot of time, care and effort to overcome my rather difficult denture case. He was very particular and meticulous about the measurements and repeatedly took them over and over again to ensure my dentures fitted properly. He is a perfectionist. The best dentist.
