    Dr. Simon Flikier has over 20 years of experience treating international patients. He is a Boston-trained prosthodontist specializing in full mouth implants.

    He is also a member of the American College of Prosthodontics and a member of Costa Rica’s Prosthodontist association.

    All of his team members also have decades of experience in their specializations.

    The good news is - all this expertise comes at a discount because of Costa Rica’s low cost of living.

    For example, dental implants in Costa Rica cost $750 to $2,400 per tooth, which is 50% - 86% less than in the US and Canada.

    All-on-4 dental implants in Costa Rica cost $9,500 per arch. That is 62% less than the US cost of $25,000.

    Don’t worry, you get the quality any American would promise. How? Because Dr. Simon used only the global brands like Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Zimmer Biomet.

    And if safety is your concern, know that Costa Rica has a Tourist Police Force with specially trained, bilingual officers. Plus, whichever clinic we send you to, you get a pickup and dropoff facility from the airport or the border, so no worries there.

    Most of our all-inclusive dental tourism packages in Costa Rica also include your hotel stay. It is very near the clinic for your convenience.

    You obviously may have more questions, so feel free to ask them in the comments.
