Question about dentist: does anyone have a great dentist they can recommend that speaks English? How was your experience compared to in your home country? Pricing?...

Chris Poindexter Right now we're in Los Yoses, but we have a car. Also headed to the Pacific coast so we could see one there too. Does your dentist speak English?
Chris P. replied:
She's absolutely fluent and was educated at Baylor University. She is great. She did a bridge for someone I know and it was done beautifully and at half the price the person had paid in Miami. Her number is 2231 5263.

Dr. Hutchison, in town, works also with a lady dentist. Phone 2750-0558.
Michele S. replied:
I had X-rays and an extraction....trying to remember how much I paid - think the X-rays were 10,000.00 colones, and the extraction, with 4 shots of novocaine (I am a tough old bird) was 20,000.00 colones. I think Dr. Hutchinson is great - gentle, well spoken, knowledgeable. Call him up and ask him for a quote. 2750-0558

Two weeks ago, my husband chipped his front tooth. He needed two crowns put on. He walked into a very modern dental office across Ruta 27 from the Plaza Cariari Real mall and next to the Double Tree Hotel. Dr. Josue Chaves Alfaro speaks English. He showed my husband x-rays of why he needed crowns instead of filling it for the 3 rd time. In the U.S. we have paid $800 for one crown. He charged $400 for each, so it was half price. We were really impressed with how modern and professional he was. It's called 32 Whites Aesthetic Dental Center. His number is 506-2293-5927, cell is 506-6055-5650 and email is josue.chaves.alfaro@gmail.com. The address on his business card says: 150 m sur del Hotel Double Tree en Belen, Plaza Cariari Local 33.

I go to Dr. Christian Gonzales in Grecia. He has done crowns, fillings, and provides a periodontal practitioner as well. The treatments are a fraction of US prices.

I just had my implants done by Nova dental. Not the cheapest but one of the best dentist http://www.novadentalcr.com/ Dr Louis Obando is one of the best dentist in CR and went to US to study dentistry. His english is really fluent. Another top one is Dr Mario Garita but the price that he quoted me is a bit higher that i would like. You cant go wrong with either one of these dentists. I am going back to Nova Dental on Nov 4 th to get my final crown. yay.

Antoinette C. replied:
Not sure if San Isidro is close by for you? I have an excellent dentist, Laura Valverde. She removed 3 old fillings. Used the dental dam. But, also had me double up on vitamin C for almost 30 days, before she removed them. To build up my immunities. Never had a dentist in the States do this. She's very knowledgable and speaks English. The best dentist I've ever had.

Nova Dental. Arrived with a 7K estimate from my American dentist and was told I didn't need half of the things on the list. And, had my teeth cleaned by the dentist himself. Sorry I can't remember his name. Great service, helpful staff. Beautiful new, clean facility. Will be returning next year to finish.
