Let me give you the truth and, remember I have over 200 witnesses!

It has been three years since I began working with Dr. Mario and his outstanding staff here in San Jose, Costa Rica. In that time I have had hundreds of clients come here to Costa Rica looking for their idea of dental salvation.

Now that may sound like an extreme way to describe what they were looking for but, faced with the alternatives back in the US, that is exactly what they found.

Do you still want the truth?

The truth is is that you can have dental work as good as ANYWHERE in the US or Canada here in San Jose, Costa Rica. You want proof? Visit the Costa Rica Dentist section on WeLoveCostaRica.com and read the articles written by my clients who have experienced their version of ‘dental salvation’.

Not only will you read about individuals who received expert oral surgery from Dr. Mario but also saved substantial sums of money even after hotel and travel costs and spent their time in between appointments exploring and enjoying the beauty of Costa Rica… and still saved a boatload of money.

Sounds to good to be true? Lets look at some numbers: You need four root canals. In the US it would cost you, not counting the multiple $150 office visit charges, the charge for the sterilization pack at each visit, x-ray costs etc etc plus around $4-5,000 for the root canals and most likely you are heading towards $6,000 after everything is said and done.

In Dr. Mario’s office the cost for four root canals would be $1,500 (inc office visit and x-rays) with no hidden fees. At that price you would be enjoying well over 50% savings. Even if you flew down here, lets say $600 R/T and stayed 3 days (which is all the time you would need) at $70-90 a day at a very nice B&B, the cost would be under $2,500

Lets say you felt a little wanderlust and stayed 4 days and took day trips to the volcano and waterfall or rain forest canopy adventure or horseback riding in the lucious hills and valleys surrounding San Jose at $100 per trip you still are under $3,000…

This is fun!

Lets do another one!

Lets say that you need three implants, a two tooth bridge, a simple bone graft and extract two wisdom teeth. I know prices differ somewhat in the US on certain procedures so lets play fair. Lets say implants would cost $3,500 each. That’s $10,500.A two tooth bridge would cost at $1,100 each for the 4 crown unit, thats $4,400. A simple bone graft $600 and lets not forget those pesky wisdom teeth at a sweet $1,000 each extraction. So Johnny what do we have here?……$17,500 more or less.

That makes it $7,990 lets say $8,200 with a 3D dental tomography which Dr. Mario uses with implant patients for a better diagnosis. Lets throw in $600 R/T airfare, 6 days at the B&B at $90 a day (with a great breakfast) thats $540 and a couple of day trips at $100 each another $200 thats $1,340 making a total $9,540.

And just for mad money’s sake say you went to the casino and lost a cool grand (thats $1,000 for everyone under 40) that would make it $10,540. I am sorry to say you only saved…$6,960… Oops I almost forgot… the airfare rebate…

Since your dental treatment exceeds $8,000 you would receive a $500 rebate gift for airfare from Dr. Mario so your savings would increase to $7,460.

But if you behaved yourself and skipped the casino your savings would be in the neighborhood of $8,460.

I repeat…you would save $8,460… with a great dental vacation paid for!

Now this is only approximate for US dental costs but plug in your dentists numbers and see what you get.

Dr. Mario’s numbers will not change….can you handle the truth?
