Suggestions flor a dentist for a root canal in the SJ and/or Nicoya área. Prices would also be helpful! Thanks

I went to see Dr. Chan in Nicoya 2 weeks ago for a root canal. It was $260. She didn't personally do it, but had a compatriot do it. My tooth ended up being split, so after all the drilling he didn't do it, and cost me nothing. Very good experience, and I liked going there better than all the Canadian Army dentists I've spent my life visiting lol.

I did 5 years of research mainly on Dental Tourism a few years ago when i had my guest house & first off - ONLY go to someone that SPECIALIZES in Root Canals as they can be VERY tricky. Having had numerous ones over the years, trust me - on this!! 85% of them had to have SOMETHING redone. Also, MAKE SURE YOU GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE - especially with one company mentioned above as are well know for prices not ending up what they initially qouoted you. Elizabeth Meza I have heard over & over that she’s THE BEST dentist in the COUNTRY for ROOT CANALS & that has THE BEST equipment specifically for this. I'll call tomorrow to double check as a few years ago when we talked she was sounding like she was thinking of closing. LOCATION: San Jose - 100 mts. East and 40 South of the Toyota Dealer / 50mts South of Quiznos on Paseo Colon in the Elizabeth Building (same building as Delta Airlines) 2-257-2006 / DraEMeza@hotmail.com) Dr. Irene in Dr. Castro & Anglada’s office & EVERYONE I know that's gone to her/sent to her had ONLY AWESOME comments about her!! Dr. Eduardo Castro’s office - InterDent (2-290-2121 / 2-232-1872 / http://InterDentCR.com / CastroDental@gmail.com)

never EVER go to a dentist and let a "compatriot" do the work. Boy did I learn the hard way and so did Jim. I ended up in surgery at CIMA after a botched job and 3 months of pain. I suggest Prisma Dental in SJ. To find out who I suggest staying away from, PM me

Several years ago we had fairly extensive dental work - bone grafts, implants, bridges, crowns - done by a USA trained Tico dentist, Dr. Gil. The work was flawless and reasonable price. US dental insurance paid 50%. His office is modern and located across RT27 from Cima Hospital.http://www.gildentalclinic.com/
