Before you begin

Dental implant costs in Costa Rica.
Know what to compare.

What should a dental implant quote in Costa Rica include?

Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate that distinguishes implant placement, the abutment, and the final crown or other restoration. Confirm whether examination and imaging, any recommended extractions or bone grafting, temporary teeth, and follow-up visits are included or priced separately. Ask which implant components and restoration materials are proposed, how many visits are anticipated, and what is payable at each visit.

Your final plan is confirmed after an in-person examination and any additional imaging. Review any revised recommendation and costs before approving treatment. Keep included ground transportation separate from flights, accommodation, and other travel expenses when comparing your total budget.

Can I communicate with the team in English?

Yes. Dr. Adriana Mena and Dr. Alonso Casafont both speak fluent English, so you can discuss your goals, treatment options, and questions directly with them. Before travel, confirm your clinical contact for follow-up and request written instructions in English.

How can I review the clinicians and clinic standards?

Explore the clinical team’s specialties and qualifications on our Meet the Docs section. Confirm who will perform each part of your care. Ask the treating clinic about instrument sterilization and monitoring, infection-control practices, and the equipment and materials proposed for your case.

What should I plan for during recovery?

Ask your clinician for guidance on comfort management, eating, activity, time away from work, and when you can travel. Recovery varies with the procedure and your health. Plan the pace of your stay around those instructions; discuss any sedation needs and whether someone should accompany you before booking.

What happens if I need help after returning home?

Before traveling, confirm the clinic’s follow-up contact, how remote concerns are reviewed, and when an in-person assessment or return visit may be needed. Request written aftercare and copies of your treatment records for your dentist at home. Ask for any guarantee terms and responsibility for additional care or travel costs in writing; seek local care promptly for urgent concerns.

How many visits will I need, and how long should I stay?

Implant care may involve separate placement and restoration visits with healing between them. Your clinic confirms the number of visits, length of each stay, and any follow-up before you finalize travel. Allow room for the recommended recovery and review appointments.

Do I need to know which procedure I need?

No. Start with what is bothering you and what you hope to restore. Your clinical review helps identify the appropriate options.

Can I share a recommendation from my dentist?

Yes. Tell us whether you have an existing treatment recommendation or records. The clinic will explain how to submit them for clinical review. You do not need to attach records to begin, and you should not send X-rays, scans, or medical records through ordinary email.

Who handles treatment and payment?

Your dental treatment is provided by the clinic. Payment is due directly to the clinic when you arrive for your appointment, before treatment begins. If your plan requires multiple visits, you pay for the treatment scheduled for each visit when you arrive for that visit.

What transportation is included, and can you help plan my stay?

Your treatment price includes ground transportation for airport pickup, travel from your accommodations to dental appointments and back, and your return to the airport for departure. Flights and accommodations are booked separately.

Divergent Escapes can bring your travel plans together through an optional package, with pricing confirmed before booking. Prefer to arrange your own stay? We can recommend properties where we have established relationships.
