Yes, we do. However, if you want this type of anesthesia, please inform your doctor before your appointment, as most of the time, we use infiltration anesthesia like Novocaine.
Dental implants are often placed in the mouth due to their lifetime warranty, functiona.
Each patient’s stay will vary depending on their treatment. Based on our doctors’ experience, we recommend a set number of days to ensure the best results while allowing for adjustments and last-minute details without jeopardizing our patients’ departure flights.
If placing Surgical Phase Implants, allow for 7 to 9 working days.
Our Patient Coordinator will provide you with the date of your appointments. Once the date has been agreed, you can purchase your direct airplane ticket to Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica. Upon arrival, one of our duly-identified representatives will be waiting for you to take you to your hotel or accommodation of choice.
Each patient is different, and so are their tastes. We like to cater to their lodging preference, either in internationally-renowned hotels where they have felt comfortable on other occasions or in a B&B near us at more affordable prices. We have an extensive list of hotels near our facilities where we have prior arrangements to offer our patients the best rates in the market. You can find our list at https://naturesmilecr.com//about-us/why-dentistry-in-costa-rica/#travel on our website.
We closely oversee your transportation both to our office and back to your hotel. In case the hotel does not offer this service, your Patient Coordinator will be in contact with you before each appointment, to pick you up on time before your appointment. Nature Smile will be offering transportation to hotels and locations within a 4 to 7-mile radius of our offices. Outside this radius, we will coordinate your transportation either in a regular taxicab or by uber.
This type of prosthesis is installed with just 4 implants, and the entire structure is supported by these 4 implants. It is a permanent solution for patients who have used dentures for years: the types of prostheses that move inside the mouth, making it difficult to chew firmly and safely and even limit your confidence when talking.Despite being a prosthesis, ALL ON 4 is aesthetically designed to avoid covering your palate as others do, allowing you to savor your food in all directions. Our patients say: “I feel like I have my own teeth again like I’m me again…”
As with any other implant, it is a two-stage process. The 4 implants are placed in the Surgical Stage. There is a waiting period of three to 6 months depending on instructions by the surgeon in charge. The Rehabilitation Stage is when the definitive prosthesis is placed. However, during the waiting months, you will have a provisional prosthesis to help you eat and smile while the definitive change in complete. During the second stage, the definitive prosthesis is placed on the 4 implants that were previously attached to the bone. The results are impressive, giving you back the naturalness and functionality of your natural teeth.

Info about COVID 19
The virus has caused a global health crisis, but that has not made Nature Smile close its doors. We have resorted to scientific publications and research regarding transmission methods and global indications related to prevention measures and leisure control. Nature Smile has made an enormous effort to follow the most stringent international standards. These efforts have been very successful. Over these last six months, our practice has not experienced a single case of cross-contamination, including our medical and administrative staff.
We are very proud to know that none of our patients have experienced cross-contamination. Needless to say, our internal regulations, sterilization systems, instrument cleansing and protection barriers, for both our dental equipment and our facilities, are quite strict. To protect the health of all persons involved, we have established the following rules.
Please contact us in case you answer affirmatively to any of these questions:
Now that the country is opening its borders again, we want to continue providing our dental tourism services without any fear. All our controls are regulated by the corresponding government institutions.
