Dentistry Clinics & Doctors in San Jose

There are not enough adjectives in Spanish and English combined to properly express how wonderful Dr Urzola and his staff are. Even before travelling to Costa Rica, Cristina and the doctor were in personal contact with us, taking time to explain not only everything from a dental and medical aspect but everything and anything we needed to facilitate a smooth and easy trip. From the minute we arrived until the day we left Dr. Urzola went out of his way to see to our comfort. Our trip was originally just for my husband who had been without teeth for over a year. It changed his personality making him unsocial and depressed. I broke a visible tooth a week before our trip so I ended up needing work as well. I am a total coward, needing gas to get a cleaning. The procedure was a breeze. During the days to follow there was a bit of swelling and tenderness but nothing near what I feared after 3 extractions and four implants, 7 for my husband. We met other Americans who travelled for the same purpose. They did even more research on the level of medical expertise and the doctor personally. There are several other doctors doing the same thing but none that even come close to measuring up to Dr Urzola, medically and personally. If you are considering doing this...LOOK NO FURTHER! This is where you need to go. Wonderful, fabulous, professional and kind. read more

I contacted Jehovah Rapha Dental Centere after arriving in Costa Rica on vacation with my family. We had scheduled appointments with another dental facility, however, after our visit, my husband and I both agreed that it was not a good fit for our family. We began searching, and being a pastor in the U.S., I was naturally drawn to the name (Jehovah Rapha). We were able to get an appointment immediately! It was a very busy time for Dr. Coto, but he agreed to meet with me and my husband anyhow. The spirit of this man without question is remarkable! He exudes genuine humility and compassion toward his patients. His knowledge base in the area of implant surgery is expansive. We were sold at first glance. He personally drove us back to our hotel after our first visit. At my second visit, which was I believe was four days later, I received ten implants and five extractions. I chose to have IV sedation because I am the biggest chicken ever when it comes to having dental work of any type performed. Surprisingly, I never felt the IV enter my arm! First time that has ever happened! Kudos to the young man who started my IV. My apologies for not remembering his name. In addition to this, Dr. Koto did not charge me for the sedation or extractions! Now who does that? After placing my IV, I was led to the area where my surgery would be carried out. Before putting me to sleep, Dr. Coto and his staff surrounded me and began to pray. Enough said! I never felt worried or concerned about anything. I was completely at ease. It has been a week since my surgery, and I am actually looking forward to my return to have my work completed in January. I stated that my husband also had work performed. He had an abscess and was given a root canal on that tooth. He also received veneers and had approximately six old fillings removed and replaced. Our appointment times were at different times, and our hotel was not nearby because as I stated our appointment was made after having arrived in Costa Rica. However, this was no problem because Dr. Coto has an archangel in the name of Mr. Olger Gonzalez who was at our disposal, driving us to and from all appointments. Olger is a gem! He was so very helpful in calming my anxiety prior to the day of surgery. He even took me out to lunch while my husband was having his dental work completed. What else is there to say? If you are in need of dental surgery and you don't care to pay the outrageous dental cost in the US, Jehovah Rapha (Dr. Coto) should be your only choice. The team and doctor are second to none. Thanks, guys, for everything! Total bill this visit was less than $10,000. The clinic was clean with state of art dental equipment. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Every question I had, they were more than happy to answer. Simply an outstanding team of professionals. read more

I have been using this clinic for 6 years (3 visits from the US for implants, crowns and a recent check-up as I was in San Jose for other business). Dr. Castro did 8 crowns for me 4 years ago after I had had implants at the same clinic by Dr Anglada. The dental standards in CR are very high, esp. for clinics that have a large American (and Canadian) clientele, as is the case with Cleo Dental. Dr Castro's work was meticulous, the crowns look and feel like real teeth, I have had no issues with them. He also replaced my old mercury fillings. I saved thousands of dollars between the implants and crowns. Everyone speaks English. Don't throw your money away in the US on expensive work. San Jose is full of Americans getting dental (and cosmetic) work. You get a nice trip in the bargain. The arrow in the picture points to one of the crowned implants, you can't see it too well. The rest are in the back. I am happy to answer any questions about this clinic or travel, hotels, San Jose, etc. read more

Dr. Gonzalez, Dr. Ugalde, Dr. Barquero and their staff are excellent! They provided me with a full dental reconstruction, which included 2 sinus lifts, 6 dental implants with crowns, and six additional crowns, as well as anaesthesia for the procedures. I am 100% happy with the outcome and have received multiple compliments on the results. Dealing with Dr. Gonzalez, Dr. Ugalde, Dr. Barquero and their staff could not have been easier. They were always happy to answer all my questions about the procedures and promptly communicated with me via email and text. Their driver, Ronaldo, was wonderful - very prompt and reliable to pick me up for the procedures, and a wonderful tour guide for day trips. Everyone at Sonria was extremely friendly, professional and very competent, and they were knowledgeable about the latest dental developments. I cannot say enough good things about Sonria, both their personal and professional handling of my dental needs. Dr Oriana Gonzalez is not just a first-rate dentist, but she is an artist as well - because she created a smile for me that looks very natural. I am so grateful to Sonria for giving me my smile back! read more

15 years ago I had 5 periodontal surgeries done and bridges put in. The following year my husband returned to me and had 5 periodontal surgeries plus some restoration. I am looking forward to going back real soon. The doctors and staff are just wonderful people. It was the most pleasant dental experience I ever had and was 1/10 of the cost it would have been in the US. My dentist in the US said he had not seen any better work done anywhere in the US. read more
