Ok, as a starting point you will save a ton of money on your dental work in Costa Rica but let me give you other reasons as well. Costa Rica has been nominated the ‘happiest country in the world’ and there are many reasons for this.

First the Costa Rican people, called ‘Ticos’, are a sweet, peaceful and humble people that are generally shy and reserved. Costa Rica is a small country of some 4 million people that has developed a reputation as a land of tranquility and peace. Costa Rica does NOT have a army.

Costa Rica is the oldest democracy in Central America and has become the most advanced and forward thinking country in the region. Costa Rica is a country that is considered the ‘greenest’ country on earth as it has set aside almost a quarter of its land as National Parks.

To the point, Costa Rica is a country that prizes education and has developed a medical system that is the envy of many first world countries,(I’m thinking Greece and Italy here). State-of-the art medical care and a highly educated population has led many US corporations to locate offices here.

Speaking of Mexico, the major crime rate in Costa Rica per capita is extremely low and generally non-violent as gun ownership is not part of the culture. The police force is modern, well-equipped and has a high, but discrete presence. Life here is quiet, peaceful and for the most part, uneventful in the best sense.

Now for the bottom-line. Besides all the great reasons to visit Costa Rica perhaps the most important reason for individual living with poor dental health are lower dental costs. Prices for dental work in the US do not generally reflect or take into account the tremendous daily struggle we as Americans are undergoing financially.

US doctors (in most cases) are not going to see their quality of life affected because you don’t have cash on hand, a healthy on your credit card or a good credit score to finance a five-figure dental bill. There is no charity in a doctor’s office. You probably have seen the sign posted next to the receptionists window that says, “Payment due upon receipt of services.”

Many people need an alternative to US prices for medical care. Is that you?

As a result of the financial burden facing people needing advanced and specialized medical care the idea of going to another country for all types of surgery to save a great deal of money is no longer something unthinkable.

The growth of dental  tourism in the past decade has soared as advanced dental care in other countries, at substantially lower prices, has become a viable alternative. Costa Rica has become a dental tourism destination for all types of dental procedures that are financially out of reach in the US .

The cost of doctors in the US has motivated individuals, some whom have never left the state where they were born, to hop on a plane and fly to Costa Rica to receive state-of-the-art dental care with a minimum 40% savings in all dental specialties from permanent dentures to braces. Even better Dr. Mario has been educated and trained at the University of Miami School of Medicine and did his internship at Jackson-Memorial Hospital in Miami.

His state-of-the-art facilities are located in the “Manhattan” of San Jose, Escazu including his own dental lab which permits quick turn-around times. His staff also speaks fluent English which is a critical factor in receiving the best medical outcome.

So, besides world-class medical work at affordable pricing you will have the opportunity to spend time in a beautiful, exotic country that is a must-see destination.
