Costa Rica Dental Care Trip

If you have considered getting your dental needs taken care of outside of the US because of the high costs but not sure where to go or who to see and you also like the idea of seeing the country and experiencing the culture while you are there, then we would like to help! We can connect you with reputable and experienced dentists so that you can communicate with them, find out the costs, and make your appointments. Once that is done, we will do the rest, from arranging your airfare, hotel, and transportation to meals and excursions or whatever you want to do. You will have your own personal tour director there with you to handle all the logistics in country - think of it as having your own personal concierge, travel planner, and local expert all rolled into one! The cost varies depending on length of stay and whether you are coming alone or with a spouse/friend/caregiver/second person/family, so please contact us so we can give you a personalized quote.

Why Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is widely recognized as a top destination for taking care of dental needs, offering high-quality dental care at significantly lower costs compared to the US and Canada, making it attractive for patients seeking affordable procedures like implants, crowns, and veneers while maintaining a high standard of care. Many clinics utilize modern technology and skilled dentists who adhere to international standards, often resulting in savings of up to 70% on dental treatments, which more than offsets the costs to go and stay there during your treatment.
