I am a dual citizen holding passports from Europe (Italy) and the USA. I am clinically diagnosed with TMJ and have had gum surgery in 5 states, 2 in England, and 2 in Italy.
I have a degree in healthcare and was diligent to select my dental professionals. From the moment I contacted the New Smile Dental Group in Costa Rica for the first time in 50 years I was comfortable…yes nervous but not scared. The quality of the Work in NEW SMILE is only surpassed by the staff who have been kind, compassionate, showed empathy, and actually listen. They are led by Dr. Mario Bonilla who is gentle, kind, trustworthy and has as good a bedside manner as his dedication to providing state-of-the-art professional dental procedures.
I traveled from the USA, was picked up from the Airport escorted thru immigration and customs to my apartment, all dental appointments (there and back), and return to the airport feeling like a rock star probably smiling from ear to ear. They advertise their prices are 70% less than the States. My treatment including ALL costs (air hotel, food, all rides) financially is less than 70% in dollars but priceless for how I feel about myself and I’m no longer scared of going to my dentist and his beautiful (inside and out) team members.
