I recently had another great experience with medical services here in Costa Rica and feel I moved to report it.

Many years ago, I had a large amount crown and bridge work done in north America. This included all my upper teeth and many of the lower. Three weeks ago, I had some discomfort, checked things out and found it was time to do the maintenance.

The short version is this. I had the whole upper row of teeth in my replaced with new crowns and bridges. This involved a major session that required cutting the old enamel out and saving the posts where  everything was anchored. The lower consisted of a very tricky root canal to save an anchor tooth which resulted the use of a specialist to do the work. I ended up with the nerve in tact and 50% of the tooth for the anchor. The there was a bridge made over 3 teeth  as well. All this took just a few sessions and cost me $3750.00.  (Probably $12,000 elsewhere from what I hear.)

The amazing and gratifying experience I had was that I found how skilled and committed this Dentist is to deliver perfection. The precision he strives for in the preparation and fitting for the crowns is unbelievable.  Admittedly. his own lab on the premises is a large asset as it precludes the temptation of letting something go rather than making another appointment with the patient and sending the work back to the lab for adjustment.  He works on it until it is right and right there on the spot.  These are the little things that we don’t often care about as we are so focused on price and how good the work will be.  When you are travelling long distance to do this kind of work, the savings disappear quickly if it is faulty.  More important is the fact that you don’t have to make a return trip because of a problem later on.  I can personally recommend this office for a wide range of dental service.

Costa Rica is world famous for it fabulous health care. It is not only a growing industry (now referred to as Medical Tourism) but has always been a large industry here. 

People come from all walks of life and from all over to combine a holiday with the work they need done. This includes anything form hip replacement, major heart surgery, dental implants and anything in between.
