Dental care in Costa Rica & Mexico
Dental implants, All-on-4 and crowns—with a plan you can understand.
Explore implant and restorative treatment options, prepare the records needed for a useful review, and request a personalized quote with coordinated travel and follow-up support.
Find the dental pathway that matches your need.
These options solve different problems. The right pathway depends on your remaining teeth, bone, oral health, bite, general health and imaging—not only the treatment name.
One or more teeth
Single dental implants
An implant-supported replacement may be considered for a missing tooth or several separate gaps. The review should address implant placement, abutment, crown, grafting and timing.
Full arch
All-on-4 or All-on-6 zirconia implants
A fixed zirconia full-arch restoration may be supported by four or six implants. Implant count, material and treatment sequence require imaging and a qualified dental evaluation.
Restore damaged teeth
Zirconia crowns & bridges
Crowns may restore heavily damaged teeth, while bridges may replace a gap using neighboring support. Material, preparation and long-term maintainability should be discussed.
Full-mouth restoration
A coordinated plan may combine crowns, implants, bridges and other treatment across the mouth. Ask for a tooth-by-tooth plan and the sequence of care.
Veneers and cosmetic dentistry
Veneers may address selected cosmetic concerns but are not the right answer for every bite or damaged tooth. Conservative alternatives should be reviewed first.
Bone grafting and preparatory care
Some cases require periodontal treatment, extractions, grafting or healing before final restoration. These steps can change both the schedule and quote.
Biological & Holistic Dentistry
A whole-body approach to dental care.
Biological or holistic dentistry takes a broader approach to oral health by considering how the teeth, gums, dental materials, infections and treatments may relate to a patient's overall health and well-being.
Care coordination in Costa Rica
For international patients seeking this approach in Costa Rica, we can help coordinate an evaluation with a dentist whose practice incorporates biological or holistic principles alongside conventional dental diagnosis and treatment.
Every recommendation should reflect your individual dental condition, medical history, diagnostic findings and the clinical judgment of a licensed dentist.
Services & protocols may include
- 3D CBCT imaging to evaluate teeth, bone, roots, sinuses and areas of concern
- Comprehensive dental and medical history review
- Evaluation for hidden or chronic dental infections
- Periodontal and gum-health assessment
- Biocompatible and metal-free restorative options, when clinically appropriate
- Ceramic or zirconia restorative options
- Evaluation of existing crowns, root canals, implants and other dental work
- Mercury-amalgam removal using additional protective protocols, when indicated
- Minimally invasive treatment approaches when possible
- Personalized treatment planning based on the patient's individual dental condition
- Coordination with other healthcare professionals when appropriate
Our process
Initial case review
Send us your dental history, concerns, current X-rays or CBCT scan, and any previous treatment recommendations.
Dentist review & consultation
We coordinate your case with the appropriate dental professional for an initial assessment.
Diagnostic evaluation
When necessary, updated imaging—including a 3D CBCT scan—and an in-person examination are completed.
Personalized treatment plan
The dentist explains the findings, treatment options, recommended materials, estimated timeline and costs.
Treatment & patient coordination
We can assist international patients with scheduling, appointments, accommodations, transportation and other aspects of the dental journey.
Looking for a biological dentist in Costa Rica?
Whether you are seeking a second opinion, want to review previous dental work or are interested in a more biocompatibility-focused approach to dentistry, we can help you explore your options in Costa Rica.
Important: “Biological,” “holistic” and “biocompatible dentistry” generally describe an approach to dental care and are not recognized dental specialties in the same way as oral surgery, periodontics or endodontics. Treatment recommendations should be based on an individual clinical evaluation by a licensed dentist.
What should a useful dental quote explain?
Compare the clinical plan, materials and support—not just one total number.
| Ask about | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Diagnosis and treatment sequence | Clarifies why each step is proposed and whether multiple trips or healing periods may be needed. |
| Implant system and restoration material | Identifies what is proposed and supports future maintenance conversations. |
| Included and excluded services | Surfaces imaging, sedation, extractions, grafting, temporary teeth, medicines and follow-up. |
| Provider and facility credentials | Lets you verify who performs each part of care and where it occurs. |
| Aftercare and complication pathway | Explains whom to contact, what follow-up is planned and how urgent concerns are handled. |

Dental implant travel questions
Am I a candidate for All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-on-X?
Only a qualified dental professional can determine candidacy after reviewing your oral health, imaging, bone, bite, remaining teeth, medical history and treatment goals.
Can I receive an exact quote from photos alone?
Photos can help describe your concern, but a dependable treatment plan commonly requires diagnostic imaging and a clinical evaluation. A preliminary estimate may change when new findings appear.
How many trips will treatment require?
It depends on the procedure, whether preparatory care is needed, the healing plan and the final restoration. Ask for a written visit-by-visit timeline before making travel arrangements.
Is the least expensive quote the best choice?
Price is one factor. Also compare diagnosis, provider credentials, materials, facility standards, inclusions, aftercare and how complications would be handled.
Does Green Healthcare provide the dental treatment?
Green Healthcare is a care-coordination platform. Independent licensed providers are responsible for clinical evaluation, advice and treatment.
Important: This page is general educational information, not dental advice, diagnosis or a guarantee of candidacy, outcome, timing or price. A licensed dental professional must evaluate your individual case.
