Dental Crowns San Pedro, Costa Rica

Got four crowns. Fit perfectly the first time and no readjustments like they do at home. Whitening made my smile best ever. Noted for not trying to sell you service you don't need. Fair prices. Good service, complimentary rides from/to airport and clinic. Easy to set up. Just tell them when your plane lands in CR and they'll do the rest.

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.

I got a (painless!) Root canal and crown, buildup and post, scaling and planing, and zoom whitening here in may 2018. I cannot recommend this team enough. My teeth came out perfect! Their office has everything my dentist at home (NC USA) has and more. Everything was clean and sterilized there were absolutely no worries. One of the best experiences I have ever had with a dentist and I am a person who has a lot of anxiety about the dentist. I showed up to my appointment ridiculously early (like before they were even open) and Geovanna actually called the team of specialists and they came in early for me. Everyone working on every aspect of my care made me feel at ease the whole time. The lovely miss Geovanna helped me through everything including getting an Uber to the office. I took a leap of faith and it definitely paid off. My dentist in the US wanted over $3500 for the work had done and he is one of the least expensive dentists in my relatively large city. The price for all that work at Costa Rica Dental Clinic: $1200.00! I got my work done and an amazing vacation for half the price of seeing my dentist at home. If you are on the fence or unsure I would say to you: Do it! You will not regret it. I am more than satisfied with my results. In fact, I am bringing my wife back for an implant in a couple of months.

Four implants, four root canals, bone augmentation, sinus lift, fourteen crowns. I sent my info and X-rays, etc. to Dr. Meza who is UCLA trained and accredited by two US accreditation programs. I have never had a dentist call me before and talk to me on the phone for ten minutes about my teeth and what he thinks should be done. He speaks better English than I do! Then I corresponded by email with Howard, who has an MBA from Johns Hopkins and was a dental tourist ten years ago and just liked Costa Rica and stayed. He was great setting me up with the time and helping me with the lodging, etc. So now to the costs. What would have cost me 55-60K up in the US ended up costing me 18K down there! I am sixty years old and have had extensive dental work in my past here in the US, but have never encountered the professionalism and artistry that Dr. Meza and his staff provided. Their attention to detail was amazing. Dr. Irene Castro is a phenomenon! And the other assistant is a dentist as well (Dr. Santa Maria)! At times, I had three dentists all in the same room working on my teeth (Dr. Meza was my primary dentist with Dr. Castro doing some of the other work). Amazing! I am not a shill or a marketing person. I am a real-life medical professional with thirty-seven years of experience and a business entrepreneur. I did not have to wait more than five minutes to be called back and they went right to work. I had oral surgery to remove a tooth, sinus augmentation, had four implants, and thirteen crowns replaced, four root canals, and more. Excellent in all aspects! Had a great vacation in Manuel Antonio too!
