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.


Verified patient experiences from individuals who traveled to Costa Rica for dental consultations and treatment planning.

Many patients report that overall treatment costs in Costa Rica are often lower than in the U.S. or Canada, while using the same internationally recognized materials and clinical standards.
Patients frequently share that they felt confident in the quality of care and materials used throughout their treatment experience.

Most procedures are performed using local anesthesia, similar to standard dental care in the U.S., allowing patients to remain awake while minimizing discomfort.
For longer procedures or for patients who feel anxious, sedation options may be available, depending on medical suitability. All sedation is administered and monitored by trained professionals following established clinical protocols.

Recovery varies by procedure, but many patients report temporary swelling and mild to moderate discomfort in the days following treatment.
Your care team will provide clear post-treatment instructions, guidance on diet and activity, and ongoing support during recovery.
We also coordinate aftercare and follow-up, including communication with your local dentist when appropriate, to ensure continuity of care once you return home.

Yes. If you have a recent panoramic X-ray or 3D scan (CBCT), you’re welcome to share it before your consultation.
In some cases, smile photos or dental images can also be helpful to support an initial clinical review and treatment planning.
Providing recent images may allow our specialists to prepare a more efficient and accurate evaluation before you arrive.
If you don’t have recent scans or photos, that’s completely fine — we can complete all necessary imaging here using advanced diagnostic technology.

Our specialists follow recognized international standards of care and use accredited implant systems. Treatment suitability and timeline are personalized based on clinical assessment.
