Dental Tourism in Costa Rica

Is Dental Tourism Right for Me?

While most U.S. patients save between 50% and 70% on dental treatments in Latin America, it’s important to consider travel costs and your overall health when planning a dental vacation.

The following types of patients are good candidates for dental tourism:

  • Patients seeking treatments such as All-on-4, All-on-6, All-on-8, dental implants, full-mouth reconstructions, dental veneers, and complex cosmetic procedures.

  • Patients of any age who are in good general health and able to travel.

  • Patients who enjoy traveling internationally and meeting new people and cultures.

Dental tourism may NOT be suitable if:

  • You dislike traveling outside the United States.

  • You only need minor dental treatments that would be easier to resolve locally in the U.S.

  • You suffer from uncontrolled asthma attacks. (If your asthma is controlled, please inform your dentist and send your medical history before treatment.)

  • You have heart disease or kidney failure. In these cases, it is essential to inform your dentist and obtain written clearance from your physician before traveling for dental care.
