I honestly couldn’t be more thankful that I chose Dr. Urzola for my dental implants. I had the All-on-6 procedure, and traveling to Costa Rica for it was a big decision — but from the moment I stepped into the office, I knew I was in the right place. Everyone was so kind and professional, and they really made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Urzola’s office is truly state-of-the-art,…

, and the fact that they use Straumann implants gave me total confidence in the quality of the work. The care and precision they put into everything is just unmatched. A special thank you to Christina, who was absolutely amazing — so warm, helpful, and on top of everything. And I have to say... I love my new prosthesis. I can finally smile with confidence again, and it feels incredible. If you're considering dental implants, I can't recommend Dr. Urzola and his team enough. I’m so grateful I chose them.

step of the procedure and ensuring I was comfortable throughout. The implants look and feel incredibly natural—my smile has never looked better! Recovery was smooth, and the follow-up care was exceptional. Choosing Costa Rica for this procedure was a fantastic decision; the quality of care rivaled anything I’ve experienced elsewhere, and the beautiful surroundings made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this to anyone considering dental implants!

Dr. Esteban has created a wonderful environment and team. The dentists speak incredible English and did everything to make me comfortable. Super high tech office. We met to plan and review each step. He wants his patients happy! the fact that he has his own lab on-site makes the process much quicker and he guarantees his crowns for life. A medical condition of thirty plus years meant my top…

p teeth were left with no enamel. I was facing emergency dental work over and o er in the near future. the only affordable option I had in the states was to remove my teeth and have dentures So, i turned to Costa Rica and found Dr.Urzola. Ionly did the top teeth this time because of cost. I needed one root canal and twelve crowns. i was told by my US denstist it would cost betweek 20 to 30K, depending on what they found when they went in. With Urzola dentistry, I was quoted $5700 from the beginning for top of the line Zirconia crowns and that was my final total. Oh, and i am in process on one titanium implant. He charged $800 to set the post and the crown will be $500. That' only $1300 total They really offer concierge service and will book you a car from the airport, arrange a hotel room that is less than a block away, and even offer laundry service. And you can see a bit of beautiful Costa Rica while you get your teeth fixed! pics show gaps from enamel loss and then restoration of top. SOOOOOO Happy!

I loved the experience I had at Dr Urzola’s office getting a 2 arch 6 over 6 implants. I have the acrylic temporaries now but I’m going back next month for my permanent Zirconia implants. They were all very accommodating with booking my hotel, pain medication, friendly and knowledgeable. I love them so much.

This is the sixth time my husband has had dental work at Urzola Dentistry. Each procedure requiring 2 visits. He has been very pleased with the high quality of service and the efficiency and professionalism of the Dr. and his staff.

Dr. Esteban Urzola and his entire staff was amazing! I had originally planned to have All on 6 uppers and lowers done but after the first consultation he suggested we go a different route since I had many good teeth left. I am so glad I took his advice and recommendations of 4 implants and 22 crowns! He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring for your long-term needs, looks and overall…

l comfort! Although we opted to stay at another hotel nearby, we missed out on the amazing hotel they offer next door with many, many great food and shopping experiences right next to the dental office. Don’t be discouraged by the Holiday Inn Express name, the hotel is very nice and so convenient to the office. Cristina is an absolutely amazing coordinator for all appointments, hotel stays and transportation! If she recommends it, please follow her advice! You won’t be disappointed at all! The trip to Costa Rica from Florida has been awesome and I look forward to returning in 4 months for my permanents. I highly recommend Dr. Esteban Urzola for any dental needs! Pura Vida!!

I found that Dr. Esteban Urzola possesses an impeccable record of dentistry at a very affordable cost. I was first in contact with Cristina, Dr. Urzola’s Dental Coordinator. After submitting my referral, she provided an itemized invoice with a description of the service and product required to complete my treatment. I was astounded to learn that my total cost was between 20% to 25% of what I had…

been quoted in the United States. Cristina suggested that I stay at Urban Flats, which is just a couple of miles from their dental office… maybe a five-minute drive. I found that Urban Flats is a clean, modern, and very safe location. She also advised that upon my arrival, I would be picked up at the airport in a timely fashion at no additional charge. The driver took me straight to the gated community of Urban Flats and even helped me find and check into the unit I had booked. When I arrived at Urzola Dentistry, I found the facility to be spotless and comfortable with state-of-the-art dental equipment and appliances that rival the best facilities in the US. At this time, I met Cristina, and I also met Beatriz, Dr. Urzola’s Dental Concierge. Beatriz, along with Cristina, makes things happen. They are both wonderfully effective in making everything work; they pay close attention to detail. I found Dr. Esteban Urzola to be genuine and passionate about his clients, friends, and family. In the short time I have gotten to know him, I must attest that I am proud to call him my friend. As I was guided into the chair, Dr. Urzola handed me a small paper cup containing a potion he advised would help me to relax. I settled back into the chair and closed my eyes to avoid looking directly into the bright dentistry light. What happened next is almost indescribable. Although I kept my eyes closed, I was wide awake for the whole procedure. A few times, I heard him say, “Open,” I guess because I got lax in keeping my mouth open. But here is what I struggled with… THERE WAS NO PAIN!!! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!! I had no sensation of the three extractions, the insertion of four implants into my lower jaw (both sides), not during the bone graft on the right side of my jaw, nor the stitching of my gums. No sensation, BUT I WASN’T DREAMING; I WAS WIDE AWAKE!! This is what I am unable to reconcile. Because in the blink of an eye, he said I could get up… the procedures were complete. I wish that I had kept the time, but I didn’t. I don’t know if it took an hour or less, or possibly a few hours, for the complete treatment accomplished by Dr. Urzola. He advanced my procedures with meticulous precision; his skillset must be the best in the Western Hemisphere. On the last day, before catching my flight home the next day, I was fitted with two temporary bridges on some of my natural teeth. This is the only slight discomfort I felt (other than my slightly swollen jaw from the bone graft) that lasted a few days when I got home, while my teeth shifted and adjusted to the temporary bridges. There was no pain the attest to, just a slight discomfort, unbelievable as it may seem. As I was leaving Urzola Dentistry, I asked Beatriz for the location of a local store where I could purchase some ice cream. It started to rain, slightly, but Beatriz, being the sweetheart that she is, walked with me in the rain to show me where a local store was around the corner from the dentistry. She had the driver pick me up at the store in short order. In conclusion, I met some wonderful people in a beautiful country, in addition to being the recipient of cost-effective and painless dental procedures… a win-win. Dr. Esteban Urzola and his team are par excellence, bar none. He is the best… and then… there's all the rest!

I reach out to Dr. Urzola after researching many other facilities in the area. My experience with him and his Team was first class all the way. I had a full mouth reconstruction which was completed in March 2025 and could not be happier. I was very impressed with the stae of the art facilities and I cannot say enough about the staff. They made the process so easy.
Ashley Cosseboom via Google 5.0 out of 5
I traveled from New Hampshire to Costa Rica to see Dr Urzola for dental work. I was quoted $70 grand in the states by multiple surgeons to replace all of my molars with implants. Dr Urzola was able to rebuild my teeth for 1/5 of the price, but without sacrificing quality. I had 10 teeth extracted including wisdom teeth, bone grafting, sinus lift and 8 implants. Everyone in the office speaks…

English. Dr Urzola is not egotistical like most American dentists, Cristina, the coordinator is absolutely amazing and makes you feel so comfortable. Hotel, fast food, grocery and restaurants nearby makes it extremely convenient, you don't even need to rent a car. I will never get dental work done in the states again. Costa Rica is a beautiful and safe country. I am so thankful to Dr Urzola for the effort he has put into rebuilding my teeth.

Unbelievable experience! Dr. Esteban and his whole staff made this pretty invasive surgery so easy and pain free. Had the all on 6 full mouth restoration and truly look like a changed person. Beatrice was so polite daily, Doc was relaxed and helped ease all my nerves. Would never have made the trip if Christina hadn’t reached out and made me feel so comfortable about what was going to occur.…

Great results at a great price. I'm extremely happy with my teeth. Dr. Urzola knows what he is doing and how to do it best. His staff is very competent and friendly. The facility and equipment have the best of the latest technology from around the world. I still can't believe that I've got my dream teeth so easily and at such a good price.
