I went to DentalVac in January and July of 2024 for full mouth implants after visiting a few clinics in the states. I choose DentalVac based on a recommendation from a friend whom had his implants done there. Even though I talked with my friend and he explained the procedure in detail, you never really know how the experience is going to go. I was impressed from the moment I landed in Costa Rica by the professionalism of DentalVac and it's empoyee's. We were picked up at the airport and driven to our hotel by Juan, who is great! He was our chauffeur during our time in country. Dr. Baez explained the procedure and was sure to answer all my questions. To be sure, the procedure was NOT a vacation but Dr. Baez's entire team made sure I was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Acosta was great and Nico, the person that actually made my implants, explained all that went into making the teeth and fitted and refitted the implants until they were as perfect as can be. And Hazel, what can I say about her? She was my personal assistant during our stay. She scheduled my pickups with Juan, let me know what's going each day and what time. She was the one that recommended a few of the hotels to stay at before we even arrived so we could make reservations. And Rosy! She was the lady that had the most important task of making sure we paid. I think I scared her once when my credit card was declined and I think she was ready to check with Dr. Baez. But all turned out well, as my credit card was approved after I authorized it. And I must mention Dr. Carr, the person that inserted the posts. I don't remember much of that procedure, but after being convinced to use IV sedation, it went well. All in all, the team did a great job and took care of me. And beyond the people mentioned above, all the girls in the office, x-ray, assistants, hygienist, front desk and any title I forgot were great!! Oh, one last thing, the price was roughly half of the quotes I got in the states!

Fantastic experience. They picked me up from the airport, picked me up for my appointments, and did a great job on my cavities. Very kind and helpful staff too! They are like a family - very comfortable all around. Thank you all ☀️

I was researching dental services in San Jose and found Dentavac. I called and Hazel was so efficient on providing information. I needed a root canal and she answered all my questions. The best part was that I kept texting and calling and Hazel was answering all my questions making me feel comfortable. I visited from Florida and the team was friendly, caring and did my root canal for an inexpensive price. Will be going back for continued work needed. Thank you!

Dentavac has been my primary dentist for about 15 years even though I live in the United States. They've made me comfortable from the beginning helping me to find a place to stay, their warmth in the office & gentle yet thorough dental care. From cleaning to simple cavities & veneers & caps & implants I have high regard for their performance.

From the moment Juan, the DentaVac driver picked me up from the airport, to the moment he dropped me back again 10 days later, I had the most extraordinary experience with the DentaVac team and can’t possibly say enough good things about them. I needed a huge amount of dental work done, and the cost was prohibitive where I live in the USA. A friend recommended DentaVac so I contacted them and set up a time to get all my work done. In the space of 3 days, I got cavities filled, a root canal, wisdom teeth extracted, implants and more. It was SO much work and was done so expertly and with so much care. I had never been to Costa Rica before, and was nervous about all of it. Hazel, the patient coordinator, was on hand to provide me with so much info and support - before I arrived and while I was in country. The dental team was equally impressive and the care exceeded any level of dental care I’ve ever received in the USA. The dentist explained everything to me in great detail - I didn’t feel rushed or dismissed. Even the view from the dentist’s chair was stunning! (See pic attached). What was very different from dental care in the USA is that the specialists come to you, instead of you going to the specialists. I needed to see an endodontist and an oral surgeon - both of whom work at multiple practices but came to DentaVac to do my work. It was a one-stop-shop! And an affordable one. The work I had done would’ve cost me over $20,000 in the USA. In total, I’ll spend around $7,000 in Costa Rica. They even threw in a teeth cleaning for free! I added on some time to be on the coast during my recovery, which was quite literally a tropical paradise. I spent 3-4 days in Cahuita and so appreciated being in a warm and beautiful environment while my mouth recovered. As a single woman traveler, I felt safe at all times, and in all it was a seamless and enjoyable experience - something I never expected to say about dental surgery in a foreign country! I 1000% recommend DentaVac to anyone needing dental work done. I’ll be back for a followup visit in July 2025 and can’t wait to be back! A HUGE thank you to the DentaVac team!!!
