Why I Chose Costa Rica
When I first realized I needed full mouth dental implants, I didn’t know where to start. I had quotes in the U.S. that were completely unaffordable—over $40,000 for the procedure. So, like many people do, I turned to Google and started researching affordable All-on-6 dental implants abroad.
I looked at Mexico, Colombia, and even Turkey—all popular options in the dental tourism world. But as I dug deeper, something kept drawing me back to one country: Costa Rica. And let me tell you, I’m so glad I followed that instinct.
The Price Was Important, But So Was Peace of Mind
All of the countries I considered had one thing in common: significantly lower prices than the U.S. But after reading dozens of forums, watching testimonial videos, and even contacting some clinics, I started to realize that Costa Rica wasn’t just cheaper—it was safer, better organized, and more trustworthy.
At Freer Dental Implants & Aesthetic Center in San José, I got a complete All-on-6 package for $16,300 USD—including:
- 4–6 implants per arch
- A milled titanium bar and fixed hybrid prosthesis
- Full anesthesia
- Extractions and bone grafting (if needed)
- Panoramic X-rays
- One-week stay in a luxury apartment or hotel
- Ground transportation
- One-on-one concierge service
- A 1-year warranty
🇨🇷 That’s more than 60% savings compared to U.S. prices—without compromising on quality.
My Journey to San José
I flew into Costa Rica and was picked up right at the airport by someone from the clinic. No confusion. No stress. Everything was already arranged. They even offered me a fully furnished apartment with a kitchen, balcony, and jacuzzi—or a stay at a four-star hotel with room service and a pool.
The clinic itself was spotless, modern, and staffed with doctors who trained in the U.S. and Europe. Everyone spoke fluent English. The technology they used was more advanced than some offices I’ve seen back home.
A Real Story: A Fellow Patient’s Experience
While I was there, I met another patient named Angela, whose testimonial I had seen online. She flew from the U.S. and shared how nervous she had been at first—but she emphasized how professional, clean, and warm the entire Freer Dental team was.
“They treat you like a person, not a number,” she said. “I was afraid at first, but they made me feel safe. I even had time to relax and enjoy Costa Rica a little. I got the smile I wanted, and I’m going back home confident.” — Susan Gay.
Why I Didn’t Choose Mexico, Colombia, or Turkey
- Mexico had good prices, but I read too many mixed reviews about inconsistent hygiene standards and overly rushed procedures.
- Colombia looked tempting, but I didn’t feel the same level of international support or bilingual staff.
- Turkey was simply too far. The flights were long and expensive, and I didn’t feel comfortable traveling there for a medical procedure.
Costa Rica, on the other hand, checked every box:
- ✈️ Short flights from the U.S.
- 🗣️ English-speaking, U.S.-trained doctors
- 🌿 Safe, peaceful surroundings
- 🏥 U.S.-grade technology and care
- 🏖️ A relaxing, tropical setting to recover in
Final Thoughts
If you’re considering traveling abroad for dental implants, don’t just go for the cheapest option—go for the safest, most reliable, and most comprehensive one.
Costa Rica gave me peace of mind, a first-class smile, and an experience I’d recommend to anyone. Trust me—this country is more than just a destination. It’s the best decision I ever made.
