Costa Rica, a country with no standing army, boasts 5% of the world’s species in its forests along with its 800 miles of coastline. An affordable dental vacation in this tropical paradise is a boon to many.

Why choose Costa Rica?

When clinics spend considerably less on salaries, insurance, and dental supplies, this savings allows them to offer rates that are much less than the same dental care in the USA.

• It is much cheaper to get bridges, crowns, and dental implants in Costa Rica than in the United States. Even after spending money on plane tickets and hotel stay, most people still save quite a bit of money.
• Dentists in Costa Rica are highly educated and will astound you with their professionalism. As per PROMED, nearly 80 percent of the physicians have received their education in the US or in Europe.
• They also continue to further their education by conducting researches and attending international conferences and trainings.
• Dental clinics in Costa Rica are equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Is Dental Work Safe in Costa Rica?

Promed states ” Many dental clinics in Costa Rica that cater to international patients are accredited by American-based accreditation organizations such as the Joint Commission International (JCI), the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care International (AAAHCI) or the American Association for Accreditation for Ambulatory Surgery Facilities International (AAAASFI). “

Still, we suggest, you should do thorough research about the clinic and the treating dentist.

• Find out the qualifications of the dentist. The dentist could be Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and may have done specialization in any field or a Fellowship program.
• They should be accredited with Colegio de Dentistas Cirujanos and licensed by the Ministry of Health.
• A bilingual dentist is recommended. If that is not possible, always ask for an interpreter.
• Check if the clinic has an in-house dental lab. In-house labs quicken the prosthesis turnover and maintain higher quality standards. The dentist is able to give inputs immediately.
• Sterilization is of extreme importance. The dental clinic must meet the set international standards.
