All-on-4 Dental Implants San Pedro, Costa Rica

I can’t overstate how much both the experience and the end results with Gabriel & Clear Choice Dental with the doctors and staff of Pinares Dental Solutions exceeded my expectations. The way that the two work together from the moment I arrived until Gabriel took us back to the airport is a marvel of service and ease. I came to get affordable dental care, but I had no idea just how much more was included. Gabriel and the clinic staff are consummate professionals. Patients’ needs and comforts are their highest priority. From the compassionate and gentle excellence of the dental work itself to Gabriel’s anticipation and fulfilment of even the smallest personal needs, everything about the process was phenomonal. And I am uniquely over-qualified to judge, due to the sheer number of dental providers I have had to see in my lifetime! My needs coming into this visit were extensive, whole mouth renewal essentially. I required 8 teeth extracted, multiple root canals, 8 implants and several crowns and temporary appliances. The large amount of work meant many appointments during two separate trips 6+ months apart. The care provided by the doctors and staff was the best I've ever experienced anywhere, bar none. But it was the services above and beyond dental work that were the wonderful surprise! Gabriel’s mission was to ensure that visitors have the same excellent experience outside the dental office as in. Gabriel in his actions and words connected us to the flow and pace of Costa Rica and what makes the country and life there truly special. With his help, what has always been a stressful ordeal at home became two genuinely happy experiences. He took care of logistics and details seamlessly, but seeing Costa Rica through his eyes was a true extra gift. He is the very personification of Costa Rica’s national motto “¡Pura Vida!” —Jodi My name is Eric. I’m Jodi’s husband and I accompanied her as caregiver on her second trip. I have worked and traveled in many parts of Latin America, and I would agree with her assessment. Costa Rica is a special place and Gabriel makes it more so! I also really want to honor Drs. Saenz and Gutierrez. They practice care to the highest technical and safety standards and their results are self-evident, but beyond that their doctor-patient manner was what impressed me. Needing as much extensive invasive work as she did, Jodi faced real physical and emotional challenges. Everyone at the clinic was incredibly kind, patient, flexible, and supportive. Seeing my wife able to truly relax and smile without a care for the first time in years is happiness beyond words. Gabriel put us all together and made this all happen. It’s almost as an afterthought that I think of what it cost. But I want to highlight that both trips with a caregiver along (my son once and myself once) plus a few tourist attractions and day trips PLUS the cost of treatment still added up to well under half of what we were told the dental work alone would have cost in our country, even with what passes for ‘good’ dental insurance here. We are beyond satisfied with the entire experience!

Dr. Gadea Ramirez is an exceptionally talented dentist. From my initial consultation and smile analysis, he explained corrective procedures in detail with absolutely no pressure as to what he can do and for how much. I had two implants, three crowns and seven veneers done. My smile wasn't bad to begin with, but now it is amazing. He is an exceptional detail orientated dentist, he wants your teeth to look and feel like perfect teeth. He uses only the best materials available in the USA. His office has the very best and newest dental imaging, x-ray and procedural equipment and his staff are all very friendly and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Gadea to anyone needing or wanting a nice smile or dental surgery completed. I saved so much money over what this would have cost me in the US (and my son is a Dentist !!). Costa Rica is an incredibly beautiful country once you get outside of San Jose. My wife and I spent over two and half weeks and fell in love with the country. We can't wait to go back and we will most likely spend a month there. Pura Vida !!

I went to their clinic in early February. They did a great job an no editing around like most dental clinics. I ended getting a dry sicket which messed my schedule up but they went out of their way to get me back and going. The work was excellent and I highly recommend them. They are professional and accommodating.

I had such a grat experience with Dr. Andrea and her entire staff. She was truly concerned about my well being, comfort and satisfaction with every aspect of my treatment. I felt completely relaxed and confident I was in good hands with Dr. Andrea and her assistant Daniela. I have always had a nervous uneasy experience going to the dentist in the past. But have a hole different feeling going to the dentist now. I look forward to seeing her. I love my new smile and I love this place. Truly feels like family. Pura Vida.
