Dental Implants Playa De Coco

Due to a long story, I don't need to go into, I needed extensive dental work. I had an appointment and evaluation with Dr. Lopez in February 2018. At that time I decided to begin my work. I just returned (June) from the completion of my work, which included a bottom All on Four ( five in my case) and upper root canals, crowns and veneers. The results are amazing. Dr. Lopez and the entire staff are kind, gentle, compassionate and explain every step of the way. The entire cost was a small fraction of what the same would have cost in the US. Even with travel expenses, the price was incredible. Not to mention, a great place to recover from any work. I cannot recommend highly enough. Top rating!

Dr was able to see me right away. Fixed my issue promptly and continued with exceptional service as more visits were required.

Two dentists in Canada recommended dental implants in place of my lower teeth. I was on vacation in Costa Rica and decided to get another opinion. I first approached another dentist in Coco but was turned off by his manner. I then sent my file to Dr. Ballestero. From that moment it was clear that Dr. B was different! He phoned me in Canada to discuss the recommendations and ultimately he recommended I do not go the full implant route. Not only was the cost less than 1/4 of the quotes I received in Canada - but the time, and care, and concern were far superior to what I had been receiving or have ever received from a dentist. I had the work done in March 2018 and the experience was amazing. Dr. Ballestero's professionalism coupled with his caring manner are unmatched. If there was a way to give him more than 5 stars I would! I would happily recommend Dr. Ballestero to anyone considering any level of dental treatment.

Dr. Diego is the BEST! Been going to him for over 10 years now! June

The entire staff at Costa Rica Dental Lab could not have been more professional and welcoming. From the attentive and low key driver Sergio to the brilliant senior lab technician Francisco Geovanna has this place running like clockwork. Geovanna will most likely be you Main contact and she is a delight. Dr Cesar has extremely modern and sophisticated equipment in this office. I originally called to talk about all on fours but after consulting with Dr Cesar but they came up with a much cheaper alternative for me. I am absolutely pleased with my entire experience there. I highly recommend this full service clinic and you should do yourself a favor and book an appointment with them right away you won’t be disappointed.

From the moment I arrived in Costa Rica, the Urzola team cared for me very well. A driver greeted me at the airport and took me to the hotel the team recommended. It was near their clinic, very clean with an excellent restaurant. The Urzola clinic itself had all the latest dentistry equipment and an on-site lab where crowns were rapidly made. Dr. Urzola gave excellent care to my need for implants, even finding a way to insert an implant that other dentists told me lacked adequate bone. Urzola’s bone-grafting technique solved that problem. Post operative meds were sent to the clinic. A thorough explanation of post-op procedures and care were given. English was spoken by the attendants at the clinic which made my limited Spanish unnecessary. I highly recommend this implant clinic, especially for those wanting to save thousands of dollars on the implanting procedure.

I have had my All-On-4 for a YEAR as of today! I waited to do the review because something as major/expensive / life-changing as an ALL-ON-4 isn't something that can honestly be reviewed after just a few days. I was born with Enamel Hypoplasia; that is, my adult teeth didn't have any enamel. I was told when I was a teenager that I would be wearing dentures by the time I was 25. I decided to do my best to take care of what I had - I brushed after every meal, I flossed, etc. My teeth lasted until I was 56! I tried several times to get my teeth fixed in the US (starting in 1989) and the price / procedure kept changing including the first time I started in 1989 and I had already paid the dentist over $5k (in 1989 $). Any how, I visited a few more dentists up here in Texas throughout the years and never got a good feeling for they were going to do for me (price was all the way to $100k with a WHOLE year of warranty). I first reached out to Goodness Dental in 2016 and they were very informative and had me send down a panoramic x-ray of my teeth. I was told that if my gums were in good shape (they are), they recommended an ALL-ON-4 and it would take two trips to Costa Rica 6 months apart. Covid19 finally allowed me the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica in December of 2020 - they yanked all my TEETH!!! For the first couple of days, I was thinking WTF did I just do. They screwed by bottom temporaries in and gave me a set of removeable upper CLOWN teeth (I only wore them for the minimum recommended 1 hour a day as I couldn't talk/chew with them). My family and I travelled back to Costa Rica in June/July 2021 for the permanent teeth. They told me for most it would take a couple of months to get used to it - since I was used to having no teeth for the previous 6 months, it only took me a few days. The procedure has been life changing as I finally have teeth that are super sensitive to things like lemons and other acidic fruits, I can chew without shifting food around from side to side in my mouth, etc. The only thing I would ding Goodness Dental for it there has been no follow-up since I left to see how was I adjusting to my new teeth. Since I haven't had any issues, this hasn't been a big deal to me - but I know others who need the follow up.

My son received dental treatment at the clinic and was very satisfied. I recommended it.
