Single Implant San José

I received better care at Urzola Dentistry than in my 42 years of twice-a-year dental visits in the United States. From my first interaction with Beatrize at the front desk, to Jose who handled airport transportation, to the dental assistants and Dr. Urzola himself, every part of the experience was exceptional. The team was prompt, organized and extremely thorough. From the initial quote to hotel arrangements and airport pickup, everything happened exactly as planned. Dr. Urzola spent about 40 minutes with me in his office—not in the dental chair—clearly explaining my options and the details of each procedure. He welcomed questions, listened carefully, and has impeccable bedside manner. I appreciated that other specialists, including an endodontist, were on staff that day. I had three implant screws placed and a tooth extracted, yet experienced minimal pain or inflammation the following day. The entire experience was impeccable—and the cost, being about one-quarter of what I was quoted in the U.S. was simply icing on the cake.

I have been to a lot of dentists in my life and I have to say that Costa Rica Dental Clinic is by far the best. You will not find more professional staff that really do everything possible to make a normally unpleasant process much more bearable.

If you're ever in need of a fantastic dentist, I highly recommend coming to San Jose, Costa Rica! After losing my front teeth and neighboring tooth in an accident at age 11, I've undergone numerous operations and tried almost every possible dental treatment by age 37. I've had to replace my front teeth every 10 years or so, especially during my younger years when I was still growing. I've been with Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for a couple of years now, and he's the first dentist who not only does a technically great job but also considers aesthetics - which is super rare, believe me! Highly recommend Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for professional and cosmetic treatment - he's one of the best dentists I've ever experienced!!

I had extensive implant work done, and started with another dentist. Dr. Vargas REPAIRED the poor work I had done before and spent an HOUR perfecting the look of a front tooth. He also caught periodontal work that was needed. I had forgotten to mention it in the stress of dealing with the bad work from the other dentist office. Patient and kind. Their work is first class.

We learned of Prisma Dental through International Living during one of their conferences in Costa Rica. They gave a presentation and I spoke with one of their representatives at their table during the conference. My husband and I both needed dental work. His was going to be extremely expensive in the US, so we took the leap and made an appointment online with Luis at Prisma Dental and traveled back to Costa Rica. My husband was extremely apprehensive and wanted complete sedation, but Dr Nadine Rubinstein was so gentle that she was able to remove 13 tooth roots with just numbing. He had no pain during the procedure or that evening. By the next day they had his very natural looking dentures ready! He will be back in 6 months for implants. I needed bonding on my lower front teeth and a cracked back molar fixed. I, too, was apprehensive, but with a mild sedative, Dr. Carolina Nunez built up the back molar and bonded nine lower teeth - all painlessly. The next day, she permanently cemented the new back molar. One can't even tell I had any work done - each bonding is seamless. From arranging for the appointment with Luis to being incredibly kind when we walked in the front door - topped off with the terrific work they did, it was a great experience - and the cost was a fraction of what we would have paid in the US.
