Smile Makeover San José

I came across Urzola Dentistry from a blog about dental tourism. I didn't even know it was a thing. Spent a couple of months researching before I started reaching out to clinics. I considered Mexico, Turkey, Costa Rica, and some others. Ultimately, I chose Costa due to the 5-hour flight, roughly the same time zone and the thousands of positive reviews on various practices and the large number of expats there. Out of the 6 places I reached out to in Costa, Urzola was the only provider that wanted to restore the natural teeth instead of replacing everything. Everywhere else just quoted a price and asked when I would like to come. The Doctor himself reached out, and we discussed what I was wanting and went over a few scenarios. That is what sold me on his office. They were not the cheapest(which I wasn't going for), nor were they the most expensive. I value quality over price any day. And they provided it. I booked my trip for February and sent the itinerary. They handled the room and airport transport to/from. I went down for my first of two visits, and everything went perfectly. Flew in on Sunday and back home on Saturday. Spent the week drinking smoothies and ice cream at the hotel directly behind the clinic. It couldn't have been easier to get there. 2-minute walk. Excellent pho spot on the first floor of the plaza and plenty of places nearby to eat or drink. Went home with a perfect smile for the temporary phase and had them for 4-5 months. Went back in July for the second phase for permanents and was able to spend some time in the city exploring museums and the local sites and food during the week I was there. I brought up a concern about the temps being too white for me, and the next shade darker was too yellow for my liking. So their excellent techs in the lab worked up something for me. I was extremely happy with the colour. The permanents have already changed my life. The care from the team can not be matched. From the International patient coordinator, who is a pure delight to talk to. Not sure how she remembers all the patients they have. To Beatriz at the desk, reaching out and coordinating appointments each day, doing X-rays upon arrival and being the point person at the office. I can not speak enough about each individual person that was part of my treatment team and how excellent they were. They worked to make sure my bite was perfect and comfortable before I left to come home. I plan on going back yearly for checkups and cleaning. I had an amazing experience with the Urzola team and recommend them to anyone looking to have any amount of dental work done.

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!!

Excellent customer service, advanced dental equipment, very sterile environment. All employees are very professional. Dr Marco is very caring and concerned about your health. The hotel rooms are cleaner than most American hotels. Food at sky cafe excellent. I give this clinic a 10
