Lumineers™ Costa Rica

We learned of Prisma Dental through International Living during one of their conferences in Costa Rica. They gave a presentation and I spoke with one of their representatives at their table during the conference. My husband and I both needed dental work. His was going to be extremely expensive in the US, so we took the leap and made an appointment online with Luis at Prisma Dental and traveled back to Costa Rica. My husband was extremely apprehensive and wanted complete sedation, but Dr Nadine Rubinstein was so gentle that she was able to remove 13 tooth roots with just numbing. He had no pain during the procedure or that evening. By the next day they had his very natural looking dentures ready! He will be back in 6 months for implants. I needed bonding on my lower front teeth and a cracked back molar fixed. I, too, was apprehensive, but with a mild sedative, Dr. Carolina Nunez built up the back molar and bonded nine lower teeth - all painlessly. The next day, she permanently cemented the new back molar. One can't even tell I had any work done - each bonding is seamless. From arranging for the appointment with Luis to being incredibly kind when we walked in the front door - topped off with the terrific work they did, it was a great experience - and the cost was a fraction of what we would have paid in the US.

Nice service, clean and pretty office. Well-informed dentist; fluent in English.

I had a 1 on 4 lower implants done and I am ecstatic with the results. Dr Oriana was fantastic, very calming demeanour and explained every procedure thoroughly. She and her staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout the experience. I had a consult for same procedure here in Portland and did not get the same vibe from that office. It seemed that it was more cash-centric than patient-centric and it would have been just shy of 3 times the cost to have it done here in the Portland area. Hard to argue with great service from a very talented and professional office while relaxing in a beautiful country without blowing the bank. I will definitely come back if any future dental needs arise. Even with covid adding an extra 6 months to the timeline, I still give Dr Oriana and all her staff a 10 on a scale of 5.
