What drives the price
Case complexity
The starting price covers a straightforward case. Cases needing preparatory treatment, more units or additional procedures cost more, and a clinic can only tell you which one yours is after seeing your records and a scan.
Materials and brand
Verified clinics use the same materials and implant systems as US practices. Higher-tier options cost more and are quoted separately rather than assumed, so ask which one your quote is based on.
Number of visits
Some treatments finish in one trip and others need a healing period between stages. That changes travel cost rather than treatment cost, and it should be settled before you book flights.

FAQ
It starts at $150 at verified clinics, against $600 and up in the United States. The table above breaks the price down by what is being treated. Your own number comes from a written quote after a clinic reviews your records.
Operating costs, salaries and insurance overheads are lower in Costa Rica, and clinics there do not carry the administrative load of the US insurance system. The materials and implant systems are the same ones used in North America.
It is the starting price for a straightforward case, not a quote. What you pay depends on what your scan and examination show, which is why verified clinics quote in writing and itemize each stage rather than giving one number up front.
