Training can begin as early as age 17 or 18 when they leave secondary school &#8211; younger than in the UK. However, the longer training time offers more practical clinical experience so graduates are fully equipped to start practising independently.<\/p>    <p>Any dentists wanting to specialise in a certain practice must complete another 2-3 years of training. Many travel to Europe and North America to complete this training, so not only do they gain access to the latest equipment, but they also speak excellent English.<\/p>    <p>There is no continuing education requirement, but the <strong>best dentists in Costa Rica<\/strong> will take the initiative to stay up-to-date with the latest industry standards anyway. Ask your dentist for evidence of regular training so you know they haven&#8217;t fallen behind.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industry regulation<\/h3>    <p>All qualified dentists in Costa Rica must register with the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.colegiodentistas.org\" target=\"_blank\">Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas de Costa Rica<\/a> (College of Dental Surgeons of Costa Rica). On their website, you can view a full list of the general dentists and specialists authorised to practice, as well as those who have been suspended. The website is all in Spanish but you can translate it within your web browser.<\/p>    <p>Interestingly, the College sets minimum tariffs for dentists to charge for each type of treatment. If you find a dentist charging below these minimum rates, that itself should act as a warning sign. You can view these rates by navigating to Departments &gt; Prosecutor &gt; Minimum Rates on the website.<\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ll find that some clinics hold accreditations with international health organisations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jointcommissioninternational.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JCI<\/a> (Joint Commission International). This shows the facility meets certain standards for training and equipment, but it is no guarantee of patient satisfaction.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-treatments-do-people-get-on-a-costa-rica-dental-vacation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What treatments do people get on a Costa Rica dental vacation?<\/h2>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-5133\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"costa rica dental veneers\" class=\"wp-image-5133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-65x43.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-358x239.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-675x450.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_73356887_m-2015.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">How much dental work do you need?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Simply put, the most common treatments are the ones where people can save the most money. Patients typically travel to <strong>Costa Rica for teeth implants<\/strong>, veneers, crowns, and some other cosmetic dentistry and restorative work.<\/p>    <p>A filling might be \u00a380 cheaper in Costa Rica but that saving alone won&#8217;t cover the cost of your flights and travel expenses. That said, you can still bundle smaller treatments like fillings, cleanings, and extractions to make the trip financially worthwhile.<\/p>    <p>Here you&#8217;ll find information on some of the most popular treatments for dental tourists. Following this, you can get an idea of Costa Rica dental prices.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental implants<\/h3>    <p>Implants are by far the most expensive way to get replacement teeth, but they are also the longest-lasting. Even if you just need one implant you could save money by travelling to Costa Rica, but if you need several or even a full-mouth restoration, the savings become even greater.<\/p>    <p>The following news report follows one lady who was quoted $55,000 (\u00a342,000) to fix her teeth in Florida. In the end, <strong>Costa Rica dental implants<\/strong> cost just $22,000 (\u00a317,000).<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" >  <div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-jjn6jobcolc\" class=\"arve\"> \t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;ch-ua &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts &#039;none&#039;;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-jjn6jobcolc\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/JjN6JoBCOlc?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/JjN6JoBCOlc?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t \t\t<\/div> \t\t \t<\/div> \t \t \t <\/div> <\/div><\/figure>    <p>Remember that it takes two or three visits over several months to have implants fitted. You&#8217;ll need to factor in the cost of multiple visits when working out if it&#8217;s worth travelling overseas.<\/p>    <p>If you are getting <strong>dental implants in Costa Rica<\/strong>, check that you&#8217;re being treated by a qualified prosthodontist. This specialism involves several years&#8217; extra training during which the dentist focuses on replacement teeth and restorations to the mouth and jaw. Not all dentists who advertise their services for implants carry this qualification, so it&#8217;s best not to make any assumptions.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All-on-4<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/all-on-4-image.svg\" alt=\"All-on-4 implants costa rica\" class=\"wp-image-18780\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All-on-4 implants replace all your upper or lower teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>A quicker alternative to traditional implants is All-on-4 implants. These replace a full arch of teeth using just four or six implants supporting a set of dentures. Temporary dentures can be placed at the first visit, earning them the name &#8220;teeth in a day&#8221;. You then return a few months later for your permanent teeth.<\/p>    <p>Getting All-on-4 in Costa Rica means one less visit to the dentist than traditional implants, plus the treatment itself is cheaper because it involves fewer implants, and Costa Rica is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/teeth-implants-cost\/cheapest-all-on-4\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"38051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cheapest places to get All-on-4 dental implants<\/a>. <\/p>    <p>However, you should still research the pros and cons of this treatment rather than acting on price and convenience alone.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veneers<\/h3>    <p>If your teeth are healthy but you don&#8217;t like the way they look, you might be considering veneers.

Composite veneers are less expensive than porcelain but they don&#8217;t last as long.

Did you know that&#8217;s because dentists often order dental prostheses from labs overseas? However, some dentists use 3D printing technology to make crowns while you wait.<\/p>    <p>Other types of cosmetic dentistry offered in Costa Rica include laser teeth whitening and smile makeovers.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"costa-rica-dental-prices\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costa Rica dental prices<\/h2>    <p>The table below shows the <strong>average cost of dental implants in Costa Rica<\/strong>, as well as other common procedures.

This means that dentists and clinics that want to stay ahead must offer great service and prices while maintaining high standards of care and hygiene.<\/p>    <p>The lower cost of dental work in Costa Rica is not a reflection of lower quality, but more the lower cost of living.&nbsp;If dentists have reduced costs in terms of building rental, wages, taxes and other overheads then they can afford to offer their services for less. These economic factors mean they also earn much smaller salaries than dentists in the UK.<\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ll find that many clinics are equipped with the same cutting-edge technology and equipment used by UK dentists.<\/p>    <p>In fact, one dental hygienist says the clinic her husband visited in San Jose was &#8220;nicer than any office I have ever worked for in the US and that\u2019s saying a lot&#8221;.

If you want to spend some time by the beach either before or after visiting the dentist, it&#8217;s easy enough to get around by air or over land since Costa Rica is a fairly small country.<\/p>    <p>Driving in San Jose can be quite stressful so you may want to ditch any plans to hire a car. Instead, find out whether your clinic offers free transport &#8211; many will pick you up from the airport and transport you to and from your hotel at no extra cost.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading section-hero-header-subtitle\">Guanacaste Province<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-5153\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"dental implants costa rica cost\" class=\"wp-image-5153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-65x43.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-220x147.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-358x239.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-675x450.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach-765x510.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/CR-beach.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Would you rather recover here?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>If you&#8217;d rather feel like you&#8217;re on holiday for your entire trip, head to Guanacaste Province in the northwest of the country. The small city of Liberia has a cluster of clinics that cater to foreigners and is just a few miles from the beach.<\/p>    <p>Alternatively, you could stay in one of the nearby resort towns of Playas del Coco or Tamarindo and get your teeth done just a few steps from the ocean.<\/p>    <p>Dentists here are accustomed to treating tourists so usually speak excellent English. However, you may also find their prices are slightly higher than in San Jose. It&#8217;s a good idea to shop around and consider your options to work out the best solution for you.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"choosing-a-costa-rica-dentist\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing a Costa Rica dentist<\/h2>    <p>Finding the <strong>best dentist in Costa Rica<\/strong> for your needs is a big decision. Especially if it&#8217;s your first time getting dental work overseas, it&#8217;s natural to have some reservations. The best advice we can give is to do as much research as possible into the dentist, clinic and treatment you&#8217;re considering.<\/p>    <p>To get a rounded view of the clinic&#8217;s services, search online for reviews and testimonials from past patients. When you&#8217;re thousands of miles away, word of mouth can be one of the most reliable ways to judge a place.<\/p>   \t<div class=\"form_wrapper\"> \t\t<div class=\"form_wrapper-overlay\">

If you feel uncomfortable for any reason, don&#8217;t feel like you have any obligation to go ahead with treatment.<\/p>    <p>If possible, speak directly to the dentist who will be treating you so you can get an idea of his or her English level. It&#8217;s good to have the reassurance that you&#8217;ll be able to communicate clearly before, during, and after your procedure.<\/p>    <p>Here are some questions to ask as you do your research:<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-3625\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"dental implants price costa rica\" class=\"wp-image-3625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-111x150.jpg 111w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-48x65.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-162x220.jpg 162w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-74x100.jpg 74w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-295x400.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-332x450.jpg 332w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist-376x510.jpg 376w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/05\/relaxing-dentist.jpg 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Try to find some impartial reviews<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>What training does the dentist have (including continuing education) and can you see evidence of this?<\/li>    <li>How many times have they carried out this procedure?<\/li>    <li>What materials will be used?<\/li>    <li>Can you see some before and after photos and speak to a former patient?<\/li>    <li>Is the dentist or clinic accredited nationally or internationally?<\/li>    <li>How long is the work guaranteed for?<\/li>    <li>What insurance does the clinic provide for international visitors?<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Looking at unbiased reviews of the clinic will also help you get a feel for the quality of their work and standard of service.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complications<\/h3>    <p>As mentioned earlier, complications can arise regardless of the quality and expertise of the work carried out. For example, dental implant problems may include:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Infection following surgery<\/li>    <li>Damage to nerves or sinuses<\/li>    <li>Poor placement of implant<\/li>    <li>Insufficient time for implant to fuse with bone before placement of crown<\/li>    <li>Lack of bone<\/li>    <li>Loosening of implant<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Fortunately, these are relatively rare, but it&#8217;s still worth being aware of how the clinic would handle any complications (whatever procedure you have). Some problems are apparent almost immediately after the implant has been placed but others can take months or years to show. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to know how long your work is guaranteed.<\/p>    <p>Also, think about any extra costs you might occur. If you had to stay a few extra nights for additional work and had to pay to reschedule your flights, who would cover these expenses?<\/p>    <p>Your travel insurance company? Probably not, as they rarely cover costs associated with medical work you have elected to have overseas (only emergency treatment).<\/p>    <p>What about your clinic?

If you&#8217;re having an intensive course of treatment, you likely won&#8217;t feel like doing much in your free time.<\/p>    <p>It can help to book a hotel close to your dental clinic to minimise any travel time. Alternatively, opt for a clinic that provides accommodation on-site. This can be particularly beneficial if you are having oral surgery and your condition needs to be monitored.<\/p>    <p>Consider bringing a friend with you on your trip to take care of you while you recover. Even catching a taxi can be hard when your mouth is still numb. Your travel buddy can also step in to help if you do experience any problems with your treatment.<\/p>    <p>Finally, even if you&#8217;re not planning to turn your trip into a major holiday, it can be worth giving yourself a couple of days extra after your planned treatment is finished.

If you want to see a particular dentist, be sure to request them by name.<\/li>    <li>Check how much experience your chosen dentist has with the procedure you need. Good training is only half of the picture.<\/li>    <li>It helps if you can provide a treatment plan and x-rays from your home dentist when you first contact the clinic.<\/li>    <li>Generally speaking, in-house dental labs aren&#8217;t as good as external ones.<\/li>    <li>Whatever dental work you need, try to see a specialist for that type of work (e.g. prosthodontist, endodontist, periodontist).<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental work in Costa Rica: reviews summary<\/h3>    <p>Perhaps the most important piece of advice to take from these reviews is to do plenty of research to find a dentist and clinic to suit you. Don&#8217;t base the decision purely on price; also check the dentist&#8217;s qualifications, ongoing training, specialism, and clinical experience.<\/p>    <p>It seems that dental clinics in Costa Rica &#8211; even those which cater mainly to tourists &#8211; operate on a fairly laid-back schedule. Don&#8217;t be surprised if you have to wait a while for your appointment.<\/p>    <p>Finally, because your dental trip to Costa Rica will involve costs for flights, accommodation, food, and travel, be sure to factor in all these expenses when working out how much you&#8217;ll actually save overall.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our tips for avoiding fake Costa Rica dental reviews<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-5178\"> <figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"dental costa\" class=\"wp-image-5178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-65x49.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-133x100.jpg 133w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-358x269.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-533x400.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015-680x510.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_44969563_m-2015.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carefully research your chosen clinic and dentist<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>The Costa Rican dental tourism industry is heavily reliant on positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations. Unfortunately, this means some dentists and clinics resort to dishonest tactics to boost their online reputation.<\/p>    <p>How can you tell if the Costa Rica dentist reviews you&#8217;re reading are genuine?<\/p>    <p>Well, it certainly helps to look further than the clinic&#8217;s own website and YouTube channel. No doubt you&#8217;ll find plenty of good testimonials there, but it&#8217;s easy for them to cherry-pick the happiest patients and discard any negative comments.<\/p>    <p>Look on forums and independent review sites to get an idea of other peoples&#8217; experiences. However, be aware that clinics may incentivise people to post rave reviews or add positive comments to any reviews that seem negative. These comments can even come from staff and their friends rather than real patients.<\/p>    <p>You&#8217;ll probably find the most impartial reviews on independent blogs (such as those featured here). Of course, it&#8217;s still possible the writer received a small discount to mention the dentist or clinic, but most just want to share the information with others. Do be wary of any reviews that seem 100% positive and don&#8217;t mention any downsides at all.<\/p>    <p>As you read information from a variety of sources you should build up a fairly accurate picture of what to expect.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"other-dental-tourism-destinations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other dental tourism destinations<\/h2>    <p>If you decide Costa Rica isn&#8217;t right for you, there are still other places offering dental work much cheaper than in the UK. If you&#8217;re looking to get work done closer to home and save more cash on the flights, consider a dental tourism hub in Europe.<\/p>    <p>Turkey has some excellent dental clinics in Istanbul, as well as in coastal locations like Antalya, Side and Kusadasi. This makes it a great choice for a dental holiday, and the money you save on your dental costs may well be enough to cover a two-week break in the sun.

Both have well-established dental tourism industries thanks to their internationally renowned dental schools and state-of-the-art facilities. Flights to most major cities take around two and half hours so it&#8217;s convenient to visit for just a day or two.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dentalygo.co.uk\/?utm_source=dentaly&amp;utm_campaign=dental-implants-costa-rica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ded1ca\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ded1ca;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/image-8-1024x297.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60619 has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/image-8-1024x297.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/image-8-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/image-8-768x223.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/image-8.png 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dental-implants-abroad\/dental-implants-hungary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dentists in Hungary<\/a> are mainly located in Budapest and some border towns, while Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk are the main destinations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dental-implants-abroad\/dental-implants-poland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dentistry in Poland<\/a>.
