Real Patient Experiences from the U.S. & Canada
As a European I was quite skeptical, but for 17 years I am a client, and I think he is the best dentist in the world. Reasonable pricing, gives always multiple choices for solving issues. Very skilled in all matters, and super equipped in the latest technology. My dentist 🥰
I was nervous about traveling abroad for dental work, but Dr. Tabash and his team made the entire process clear, organized, and safe. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dental health.
First let me state that I am a retired dentist with past practice in several states, including with the US Navy in CA, and in Mo and UT. I saw Dr Tabash in 2023 with several problems: two lower right missing teeth that required dental implants and a missing upper incisor that needed a bridge, as well as a poorly done crown on another upper lateral incisor that needed to be replaced to match the new bridge. All this treatment was done over a period of several days in his modern Escazu facility. Since he has his own dental laboratory on site this facilitated a seamless and quick experience. The quality and fit of the upper bridge was absolutely first rate. The two implants (which were restored 6 months later) were the highest quality on the market and I was actually surprised at the absence of significant pain after the implant procedure. I should also mention that the cost was around 1/3 of the price I would have paid here in NV. As a bonus, while we were in Costa Rica, my wife and I spent five days traveling the country visiting the beaches and rainforest. I certainly highly recommend Dr Tabash and his friendly staff where, by the way, a lack of Spanish was not a problem. My veneers were completed efficiently, and I was back home in 10 days. The quality of care exceeded what I had experienced in the U.S.
