How it works
Only completed patients can review
Reviews are locked to patients who had a completed treatment conversation on this platform. A matching quote, confirmed payment, and treatment date must all align before a review submission is accepted.
Manual verification before publishing
Our team reviews every submission before the verified badge is applied. We check the conversation history, payment confirmation, and review content. Fake reviews do not pass this process.
No review removal by clinics
Clinics on this platform cannot request removal of verified reviews regardless of the rating. A 3-star review from a verified patient is more valuable than a 5-star claim from an unverified source.
Savings are patient-reported
Savings figures are voluntarily shared by patients and include the US quote they received. They reflect real scenarios: a patient who was quoted $28,000 in Miami and paid $9,200 in Costa Rica saved $18,800 on that procedure.

I came for what I thought would be a few crowns. After the comprehensive evaluation the prosthodontist showed me the full picture of what needed to be done and why. We developed a 2 trip plan. The honesty about the scope of work, delivered without pressure, is what made me commit to the full treatment.
Bone graft and implant placed simultaneously on one side, implant only on the other. My Houston oral surgeon said I would need staged procedures 6 months apart. Here they confirmed from the CT scan that simultaneous placement was viable in my case, saving me a third trip.
I had lost confidence in my smile for 10 years due to multiple failing teeth. All-on-4 upper arch with Nobel Biocare implants. I did not believe I could afford a fixed solution. This clinic made it possible at $8,500 when LA was quoting $32,000. My life genuinely changed.
My Chicago cosmetic dentist had a 3 month waiting list. I booked this clinic, flew down the following week, and had 8 e.max veneers completed in a single 6 day trip. The work is indistinguishable from what I have seen in Chicago at three times the price.
I am an attorney and I asked detailed questions about warranty, liability, and follow-up protocols before committing. Every answer was clear and in writing. The clinic operates with the same transparency I expect from professionals in any field. Implant placed, healing perfectly at 3 months.
I have been traveling here for dental work for 8 years. Three different trips across two clinics. This most recent trip completed my full mouth with the final 4 implant crowns. The continuity of care and the documentation they maintain is professional. I would not go anywhere else.
After a failed previous dentist left me with multiple failing restorations, I came here to start fresh. The prosthodontist created a comprehensive plan addressing everything in priority order. 12 days, 4 implants, 10 crowns, one bone graft. Total $15,800. Miami quote was $58,000. Transformed.
Both arches All-on-6 with zirconia finals. My Vancouver oral surgeon quoted CAD $105,000. I paid USD $26,000 here. Even with the extended travel from Vancouver and two full-service trips, the net saving was over $50,000 Canadian. There is genuinely no comparison.
My CT scan showed I was borderline for All-on-4 due to posterior bone loss. The surgeon recommended All-on-6 for my specific anatomy. The transparency of that recommendation, rather than just selling me the cheaper option, gave me complete confidence. The result is incredibly stable.
Four crowns replaced during a week in Costa Rica. Three of the four fit perfectly on first try. The fourth needed a minor adjustment which added half a day. Minor inconvenience, resolved professionally. Overall excellent value and quality. Would return for future dental work.
Implant supported bridge replacing three teeth on the lower left. The bridge was fabricated in the in-house lab and seated perfectly on the first try. No adjustments needed. My Seattle periodontist was genuinely impressed with the quality when I showed him the documentation and photos.
Ten zirconia crowns replacing amalgam fillings and failing old crowns throughout my mouth. Coordinating this in Chicago would have taken 6 months across multiple specialists. Here my prosthodontist coordinated everything and I completed the primary work in 8 days. Exceptional organization.
Six lower veneers to complete my upper set from a previous visit. The ceramist matched the shade perfectly to my uppers which were placed 18 months ago at a different clinic. That level of precision in shade matching without access to the original case details was impressive.
I was getting married and wanted a complete smile transformation. Eight upper e.max veneers completed 3 weeks before my wedding. My dentist in Houston could not fit me in for 4 months. Here I was scheduled within 2 weeks, treated in 6 days, and flew home with the smile I wanted.
Montreal dental specialist fees are as high as New York. My quote for All-on-4 was CAD $52,000. I paid USD $9,400 here. Even with business class flights from Montreal and 10 nights at a good hotel, I saved over $25,000 Canadian. The quality of care was exceptional.
I am 68 years old and traveled alone. The clinic arranged my airport transfer and checked on me daily after surgery. The hotel was walking distance from the clinic. I never once felt unsafe or unsupported. My daughters were worried about me going alone but I would do it again without hesitation.
The implant surgeon trained in Madrid. The prosthodontist trained in Miami. The team is genuinely world class. I paid $9,800 for my upper arch All-on-4. SF quotes ranged from $32,000 to $38,000. My follow-up with an SF oral surgeon at 3 months confirmed excellent integration.
I came with my husband who also needed implants. We planned it as a health trip plus a short vacation. Both of us had our implants placed on the same day by the same surgeon. We split the coordinator cost and hotel. Combining trips made the economics even better.
Good experience. Implant placed on day 2, back in Atlanta by day 5. Minor swelling for 3 days which is normal. At 5 months the implant is fully integrated and I returned for my crown. 4 stars because I had one miscommunication about the post-op medication list but it was resolved quickly.
As a nurse I had higher than average anxiety about clinical standards. I asked very direct questions about sterilization protocols, implant brand sourcing, and surgeon credentials. Every answer was satisfactory and transparent. I had my implant placed and felt completely confident in the safety of the procedure.
I am a retired engineer and I approached this the way I approach any technical decision: research, specifications, and verification. Nobel Biocare Ti-Unite surface implant, documented lot number, manufacturer warranty. My periodontist in Boston confirmed the documentation was legitimate and the placement was precise.
Coming from Vancouver I was nervous about traveling for something as significant as an implant. The clinic sent me a pre-treatment checklist, required my X-rays in advance, and had a coordinator available by WhatsApp through the whole process. Nobel Biocare implant. Professional from start to finish.
I combined a day of sightseeing with in-office whitening. Appointment was in the morning, done by noon, spent the afternoon in the city. 6 shades whiter by the time I got back to the hotel. Added to my implant trip as a bonus treatment. The price was $150 versus $650 in San Francisco.
Two root canals on premolars. I was dreading this based on past experiences in the US but it was entirely comfortable. Rotary instruments make such a difference. Combined with two crowns on the same trip, total cost $1,320 versus $5,200 in Dallas.
Emergency root canal on a molar that had been giving me problems for months. The endodontist completed the procedure in one appointment using rotary instruments. Completely painless. Had a crown placed on the same trip. Total $660 versus the $2,800 I was quoted in Miami for both.
I had 14 days here and the team managed to complete all extractions, place 8 implants with temporaries, and do 6 crowns on existing teeth in that time. Everything was staged perfectly. I flew home with a full set of provisional teeth. My Chicago family could not believe the transformation.
I was in an accident years ago that damaged multiple teeth. Rather than piecemeal treatment over 3 years, I came here for a coordinated full mouth plan executed in two extended trips. The prosthodontist managed every aspect. Result is beyond what I expected for the price.
Years of untreated grinding destroyed most of my teeth. My Toronto specialist quoted CAD $95,000 for full rehabilitation. I paid USD $16,500 here for a combination of implants, crowns, and All-on-4 for the lower arch. The treatment plan was presented in detail before I committed to anything.
My full mouth restoration involved 6 implants, 8 crowns, and a bone graft. My New York prosthodontist quoted $68,000 and 2 years. Here it took 12 days for the primary visit and I return in 5 months for the final crowns. Total cost is $18,000. The coordination between the oral surgeon and prosthodontist was seamless.
Eight crowns to replace old metalwork throughout my mouth. The in-house lab meant I could approve each crown before final cementation. Minor adjustment needed on one crown that they fixed the same afternoon. Total cost $3,040 versus $12,000 in Philadelphia. Very happy.
My molar needed a crown after a large filling failed. Back home I would have waited 3 weeks for the lab. Here they took digital impressions on Monday and I had my permanent zirconia crown by Thursday. The whole trip was 5 days and I was back in DC for the weekend.
Three unit bridge on lower left side, zirconia. My Houston dentist wanted $4,800 for this bridge. I paid $1,100 here. The work was completed in 4 days. The fit is excellent and I had a follow-up X-ray with my Houston dentist at 6 months who confirmed everything looked perfect.
Five zirconia crowns replacing old PFM crowns that were showing metal at the margins. All five done in 4 days including color matching consultation. Atlanta quote was $7,500. I paid $1,900. The precision of the fit is as good as any work I have had done in the US.
I was considering composite bonding in Dallas to save money. My coordinator here explained the longevity difference and the price gap between bonding at $6,000 and e.max veneers at $3,400 here. This was an easy decision. The craftsmanship of the ceramist is extraordinary.
Eight veneers and the result is beautiful. I gave 4 stars because my first set of temporaries was slightly too opaque and we had to go back to the lab. They resolved it quickly and the final result is exactly what I wanted. That kind of responsiveness to my concerns is actually what earned the 4 stars rather than 3.
I whitened first at home for 3 weeks to establish my target shade as the coordinator recommended. They matched the veneers exactly. Six upper e.max veneers completed in 6 days. Trip was almost a vacation. Stayed at a great hotel 10 minutes from the clinic, saw the country for a day.
10 upper veneers. I had the temporaries for two days before approving the finals. They let me request three adjustments to the shape before bonding. That level of attention to detail is what you pay $20,000 for in Chicago. I paid $4,300. Impossible to distinguish from natural teeth.
As someone in entertainment in LA I was terrified to trust my smile to anyone outside of my Beverly Hills dentist. The digital smile design preview completely changed my mind. I approved every detail before they touched my teeth. The in-house ceramist is genuinely exceptional. My LA colleagues think I went to the best cosmetic dentist in the city.
8 e.max veneers. The ceramist spent an entire day on color matching and adjustments before the final bonding. My Upper East Side cosmetic dentist quoted $18,400 for the same 8 veneers. I paid $3,400. Two years later they look identical to the day they were placed. Not one chip, not one shade change.
I came for a single implant and ended up having two crowns replaced while I was here because the price difference was so significant. Total treatment cost $2,200. Seattle quotes for the same work totaled $8,900. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the hotel I chose was a bit far from the clinic.
I had been putting off an implant for three years because of the cost. $950 plus flights and hotel for a long weekend is genuinely affordable in a way that $5,000 in Denver is not. The procedure was completely comfortable under local anesthesia. Back home within 5 days.
Nobel Biocare implant. I specifically asked for Nobel because I knew my Boston dentist could service it. They documented everything and gave me a physical warranty card. Six months later my Boston dentist placed the crown and said the placement was textbook. He asked who did it.
Four implants placed in one surgical session. The efficiency was impressive. My periodontist in Philadelphia was going to stage these over 18 months to manage healing. Here they placed all four with appropriate temporary coverage in a single 90 minute session. All four are fully integrated at the 4 month mark.
I needed two implants and a sinus lift on one side. The surgeon was honest that the sinus lift adds complexity and cost. Total for both implants including the sinus lift was $3,100. In Phoenix I was quoted $12,000. The extra procedure was explained clearly before surgery and there were no surprises.
Single Straumann implant with zirconia crown. The entire procedure from initial visit to final crown was handled in two trips each under a week. I saved $4,200 compared to my LA quote just on this one tooth. When I factor in that I also had two crowns placed on the same trip, total savings were over $7,000.
Three Nobel Biocare implants. Each one placed in a single surgery session on day two of my trip. I was back in Miami on day five. The implant documentation they gave me had the brand, model, lot number, and warranty card. My Miami dentist confirmed everything was placed correctly at my follow-up six weeks later.
I brought my complete dental records, three years of X-rays, and a video consultation request. The coordinator answered every question in detail before I booked anything. That level of communication before I spent a dollar told me everything I needed to know about the operation. Surgical result was flawless.
My dentist in Dallas said I needed bone grafting which would have added another $8,000 and 6 more months of waiting. The surgeon here reviewed my CT scan and said the All-on-4 angled placement technique eliminates the need for grafting in my case. She was right. No grafting, immediate temporaries, wonderful result.
As a Canadian the savings are even more dramatic. My Toronto specialist quoted CAD $48,000 per arch. I paid USD $9,500 for my upper arch here. Flights from Toronto were $580 round trip. The dental district in Escazu is like being in a North American suburb. Everything is modern, clean, and professional.
Great experience overall. The surgeon was excellent and my temporaries look natural. Only minor issue was that scheduling communication could have been faster, but the clinical result is outstanding. I am 6 months out now and just got my final zirconia arch placed on my return visit. Worth every penny of the trip.
Both arches, Nobel Biocare implants, acrylic temporaries in one surgical session. Six hours in surgery, woke up with teeth. The anesthesiologist was there the whole time which gave me confidence. Total cost for both arches was $16,400. My Houston quote was $54,000. This is a no-brainer for anyone facing full arch replacement.
I researched for two years before pulling the trigger. The CT scan on day one showed I was a good All-on-4 candidate with no grafting needed. Surgery was Wednesday morning, temporaries by 4pm same day. I ate soup in my hotel room that evening. Back in New York within 10 days. Cannot say enough about the professionalism.
I was quoted $32,000 in Miami for All-on-4. I paid $9,200 here including my temporary prosthetics. The surgeon was trained in Spain and the anesthesiologist was present throughout. My temporaries were placed the same day. I am 4 months post-surgery and integration is perfect. Flying back next month for my finals.

FAQ
All reviews on this platform are submitted through a post-treatment verification flow. We confirm the patient had an active conversation with the clinic through our platform, a quote was accepted, and the treatment date is consistent with the review. Reviews submitted without a verified booking are rejected. Verified reviews display a cyan verification badge.
No. Clinics cannot modify, hide, or request removal of verified reviews. A clinic can respond publicly, but the original review remains visible regardless of the rating. This is a core part of our trust standard and why verified reviews on this platform carry more weight than reviews on general platforms.
Patients voluntarily share their US quote and Costa Rica cost to help future patients calibrate realistic expectations. Savings shown are self-reported by the patient. They are not independently verified but are submitted alongside treatment documentation that we review before verification.
Look for reviews that mention specific procedures, describe the communication process before and during travel, note the quality of follow-up care, and reference actual savings versus US prices. Reviews from patients who had complex procedures like All-on-4 or full mouth restoration are particularly valuable because they cover the entire journey including the second visit for final restorations.
No. Reviews are only accepted from patients who completed treatment through a verified conversation on this platform. This is what makes the verification meaningful. If you had a great experience at a Costa Rica clinic and want it listed on our platform, the clinic can apply to join through our clinic partnership page.
You will receive a review request email 30 days after treatment completion and again at 6 months. The 6-month review is particularly valuable for implant and All-on-4 patients as it reflects the outcome after full osseointegration. Both review periods can be submitted. The review link in the email is personal to your account and expires after 30 days.
