The best form of advertising is through word of mouth, and that's exactly how I came to hear about Dentavac. I was treated with top notch service from the day of my first inquiry until my departure. I opted for the all on 6 option, and I had both my upper and lower arches done all at once. I was amazed that Dentavac engaged an entire team of professionals to create the perfect smile for me. I can honestly say I never felt so important and special as the Dentavac staff made me feel. I cannot wait until I return for my permanent teeth in 5 months!

as a patient for over 10 years I've relied solely on Dentavac for all my dental needs. From basic cleaning to more sophisticated dental procedures I've used them exclusively. Fluent in English, accommodating on schedules, and thoroughly professional. If you are an American who fears the "out of the USA" dental experience, this is the dental facility for you. They cater to us. The will take you by the hand from the moment you arrive until you leave the country. And use your savings (compared to U.S. prices) to vacation in the nature of Costa Rica. A 2 for 1 experience.

I have been living as an expat in Escazú over 15 years. During this period I have always experienced very professional service of Dentavac. Hygiene is an important issue and they comply with the highest standards. Not only are the doctors very professional, the people at Dentavac are very friendly, polite and reliable. In the past years I had to travel to the Netherlands and was forced to be treated by Dutch dentists. They invariably confirmed that the work done by Dentavac met all their standards. Especially if you travel from either Europe or the States it is worth being a 'medical tourist' and have work done at Dentavac at very competitive prices.
