Star Dental Implant Center

I was very happy with my dealings with Star Dental Clinic. For connections out of their office I dealt almost entirely with Melissa (based in Seattle); for dealings in the Clinic I dealt with both the dental practitioners and their support staff. I found the facilities as good as any I have used at home in Canada, and better than some. Personnel were knowledgeable and friendly, treatment was conducted quickly and efficiently, everyone spoke English which compensated for my inability to speak Spanish. They run a highly professional operation.

As a Canadian, the only hesitation I would have is with respect to currency exchange - I estimate I saved about $1,000.00 even after allowing for hotel, food and travel costs, and would have saved substantially more if I had needed more work done. Not only would I recommend Star Dental to others, but I actually did so - a friend of mine who needed more extensive dental work arranged to travel with me for his own treatment. I spoke with him the day before completing this review and I've been advised by him that he is also very happy with the service he has received. I now need a little more work but can't justify the cost of another trip to Costa Rica for it - I wish Star Dental was much closer.

I would definitely go to them again.

I chose Star Dental Implant Center because the Doctors were degreed in the states. I am very happy with my choice. I had four implants and crowns placed and everything was handled professionally with attention to all the details necessary for overseas travel. I received expert care and value for my money.

World-class. My experience with Star Dental is the entire staff is extraordinarily sensitive, smart /professional and even fun. It's as if they read my mind and anticipated my fears from beginning to end. Basically, they get it: You are going to another country to spend a lot of money and put yourself at the mercy of people you haven't met.

All I can say is I got 3 implants, 4 crowns, 4 root canals, 2 BONE graft surgeries, and 3 cavities when I arrived. After 3 visits I left with a new smile and teeth I could rely on. Even after the hotel, flight, food-, etc. I still saved thousands compared to USA dental quotes. I did this without sacrificing an ounce of expertise. I fact I believe Star Dental is better than average high-end dental offices in USA.

I wouldn't hesitate to come back to Costa Rica to see them even for a check-up instead of a USA dentist. . I have been recommending them to anyone who asks, and a bunch of people have asked how I did it! There were no unpleasant or significant surprises from my perspective. This is key because a decision this big is all about trust right? It is for me. Their process starts addressing this long before you get there. In my view, they get full credit for having created an affordable and effective solution to my complicated dental mess that I was too scared to deal with for years.

I am extremely pleased with the results of the dental work performed at Star Dental. From my first contact with the US patient coordinator who helped with flights and lodging to the absolute professionalism of the Doctors and staff, every step of the process was transparent and honest. In terms of cost the savings were substantial. The price I was quoted at the start was the exact price I paid. Throughout the process all my questions and concerns were answered and explained. Most importantly the doctors and staff cared deeply about my outcome. I could not be more pleased with how things turned out. To anyone considering implant surgery I urge you to contact Star Dental.

I couldn't be more pleased with Star Dental, friendly and accommodating and above all Dr Carolina Cespedes is a perfectionist. They picked me up at the airport, I had a great apartment at a 4-star hotel at a great rate. Provided a driver for all appointments who went out of his way to accommodate me, stopping by the store etc. I had an "All on 4" for a lot less than a U.S. price, done by bank draft that was prearranged with my bank. It was not done until I called to initiate it from the office in Costa Rica. I highly recommend Star Dental and feel I had the greatest care in the world. Dr Carolina Cespedes.

In September 2019, I had two new crowns placed by Dr Sevilla. Although the lab had to rework one of the crowns, Dr Sevilla did a careful and conscientious job of ensuring that the crowns fit properly. The clinic was clean and was well organized. On my next visit to Costa Rica, I expect to do more dental work at Star Clinic and recommend Dr Sevilla without reservation.

52. I am from Lady Lake, FL and I would like to tell you all about my wonderful experience with Star Dental. I am a retired senior citizen, and even though I did have enough money for implants here in the US, I also have quite a bit of time on my hands that my wife and I like to use for travelling. So I told her we should go to Costa Rica, visit with some family, and then take time off to get some “work done”. My wife went ahead and did a facelift, and by the way, she looks fabulous. While I, on the other hand, got my mouth worked on by Dr Sevilla. I got implants and crowns, cavities fixed, deep cleaning, the whole deal. I had a treatment plan before we vacationed. Our trip was well planned out. We rested, enjoyed ourselves and came back home happier than ever.

Very professional, and kind. I found the staff to be very accommodating to my needs. I didn’t even have a passport, to begin with. They helped me pick a hotel, and provided transportation. I even got to do some sightseeing while I was there. Costa Ricans are very hospitable people, and their food is great. Overall, it was a great experience, I highly recommend it.

I was very embarrassed by the way my mouth looked, and now that I got my implants done I reckon I look as pretty as a peach! Thank you, Dr Sevilla, you and your team are changing people’s lives!

Dr Sevilla and his dental team are the best, they were able to get me eating my favourite foods, and not be embarrassed about the way I smile anymore. Bless their hearts

I visited Star Dental a few weeks ago, I am very happy and pleased with my implants. I would recommend it to anyone needing to get implants done.

My experience at Star Dental Implant Center has exceeded my expectations. As someone coming from the US who does not speak Spanish, I have had so much assistance from Laura and Andrea with making difficult travel and transportation arrangements. Their knowledge of key places to visit, to stay and to eat has made this a special experience. However, the most important part of this journey has been discovering the skill and care with which this team of dentists and oral surgeons have taken on my case, which was complicated by underlying type 1 diabetes. They considered all the risks, both short and long term and clearly laid out my options. I was able to make an informed choice and immediately proceed with the plan. The budget was clearly discussed as we went over the itemized charges. I was already aware of many of these costs procedures so I estimated a savings of one half to two-thirds of that in the States. The travel here or portions of it are included in that as well.

I was amazed at the speed and expertise Dr Guillen and Dr Feoli completed the first phase. They explained in excellent English my aftercare and prepared me well for phase 2 with the Oral Surgeon Dr Gonzalez who, several days later completed phase 2. After which I was fitted with a beautifully made prosthesis. In four months I'll continue with the final phases of treatment and realise my hope and this capable teams promise of a healthy mouth and much better general health. The country’s motto is very fitting as it applies to me and my complete experience so far. Star Dental Implant Center and Costa Rica have truly offered me a taste of ''Pura Vida''.

I came to Star Dental clinic for extraction of two molars and replacement with implants. My experience has been very good. On this trip I had the extractions done and will return for bone graft and other work in the future.
