Let's be honest, no one wants to visit the dentist. And visiting a dentist in another country where you don't speak the language, even more of a reason not to go. But you can throw all of that out the window. l had a wonderful experience at Dr. Meza's office. He and his entire team made my experience comfortable and reassuring. Knowing what I know now, would I go through experience again? Yes, in…

"I can’t say enough about my experience with Dr. Alberto Meza and the Meza Dental Care team managed by Marcelo Meza. Referred by a friend, I opted for “Dental Tourism” and had work done at their locations in Costa Rica and Cancun. Both offices were not only beautifully maintained but also in areas that felt safe and welcoming, with plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the local culture.…

The transformation of my mouth and smile was beyond my expectations! Dr. Meza and his team provide a level of expertise on par with top dental groups in the U.S., using the same high-quality materials and advanced technology. And incredibly, my total cost was just 25% of what I would have paid at home! If you need extensive dental work, want your smile back and feel good about yourself again, I highly recommend Meza Dental Care—you’ll receive outstanding care and have an amazing cultural experience as well."

It's clear he genuinely cares about his patients. Dr. Meza and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that everything was perfect, and the results speak for themselves.

Thank you Dr. Meza and staff for such a positive experience while visiting your clinic. Dr. Meza is the best in the business! His knowledge about cosmetic dentistry is evident in his work. He is professional, kind, and a true artist when it comes to creating a beautiful smile. The process of seeing a dentist in another country you would think would be overwheming; however, this is not the case…

with Dr. Meza and his staff. Marcelo, the patient coordinator had all my quotes, and appointments all set up. He was wonderful. Jose, the kindest man, picked me up from the airport, and took me to and from all my appointments. Karina and Hugo the travel team arranged for beautiful accomodations during my stay, and transportation to see beautiful Costa Rica. Great communication! Dr. Aguilar, the endodontist did a wonderful job on my root canals. I didn't feel a thing. Not even the novocain shot! Rodolfo, the dental assistant was excellent and always put me at ease. Thank you Karol as well. Rebeka, always greeted me with a smile, and was in communication with me throughout. She is the best! I am so happy with my smile. Nayari, and the dental lab did an excellent job! In record time! I had the whole upper arch done with crowns in less than 10 days including the weekend. No downtime. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Meza and his team. I am a repeat customer along with my husband, and brother. They are the best in the business!

If I could give them a 10 star I would. Sorry, but this may be a little lengthy. Traveling to another country for any medical procedure can be stressful. Lots and lots of questions come up so you start to research. Back in 2015 my wife Kim had a quote here in the U.S for approximately 45k for some implants. Naturally we started looking elsewhere. Having been to Costa Rica on our 10th Anniversary…

and enjoying the country immensely we decided to look there. We figured another vacation and the implants. It didn't take me long to find Dr. Meza and his staff. Over and over looking at other practices I kept coming back to their site. Xray's were sent over, we received an estimate based upon the information we sent, and we made our arrangements. The U.S. Dentist never quoted for a sinus lift or bone graphs which were included in our new estimate from Meza along with a stem cell rejuvenator to aid with healing. We had all the work completed for 15k. With our vacation we came in under 20K. Fast forward to 2024. I had received a quote for myself from another U.S. Dentist. Their bid came in at around 30k. Mine were crowns. Dr. Meza did a fantastic job on me and with the trip costs it came in under 12K. Now here's some important info. My entire trip minus my plane reservations was set up via Meza. They pick you up from the airport, take you to and from your appointments, (if you've ever driven in San Jose you will appreciate this}, they set me up in a beautiful apartment on the 19th floor of a high rise looking at the mountains. My food choices were abundant, and actually I ate at the restaurants at the apartment complex. So honestly, no car expenses, outside food can be delivered and most importantly you feel completely safe in their hands. Lastly, the most technologically advanced dental office I've ever seen. One friend I sent over described it as the Mayo Clinic of dentistry lol. Hope this helps!

DO NOT GET IMPLANTS WITH MEZA DENTAL! I went to Meza Dental a couple of years ago to get three implants that ended up being poorly installed- the implants were not actually placed correctly and as a result, I have to deal with expensive and painful remediation by another dentist. I previously had root canals and crowns put on by Dr. Meza- those were fine- but he clearly does not know how to…

I had crowns and a root canal recently at Meza Clinic in San Jose, Costa Rica. Everything about this clinic is amazing. 5 stars? No, 10 stars. Don’t bother shopping around. Meza Clinic is the best in Costa Rica!

Thank you very much for your testimony, Jennifer! It was a real pleasure to have you as a patient!
I decided to visit Meza Dental in June to get veneers on my upper front 6 teeth. I was in Costa Rica, and they quickly scheduled a consultation for me. Dr. Marin attended to me, and she politely explained all the details of the veneer installation and the possible options. The veneers were installed within a week—an impressive turnaround. Everything was explained to me clearly, and the entire…

staff was courteous. When I tried on the veneers, Dr. Marin suggested improving them, and within 1.5 hours, they adjusted the veneer in their in-house lab, so I didn’t have to wait long. I’m very satisfied with the speed, quality of service, and the politeness of the staff.

Thank you so much, Ekaterina, for your testimonial. It was a pleasure having you here with us!
I had a root canal and three crowns done here and my experience was very positive. From the doctors to the support staff to the equipment and office everything is top rate and I saved a lot of money choosing to have the work done outside the USA. I am very, very thankful to Dr. Marín and everyone at Meza Dental. I highly recommend this place!

I completed my first visit with Meza Dental in July 2024. Every single aspect of my treatment was absolutely outstanding. The administrative staff, all the doctors and dental assistants, the travel agency and Jose the driver were all friendly, professional and put me at ease. I (along with so many others, I know) am extremely phobic of dental treatments. That fear, along with the unknown…

aspects of traveling to another country for medical treatment, had me unbelievably anxious. I needed extensive treatment - root canals, extractions, crowns, implants, etc. In the US this would have cost me ~$50-60k. I got a quote from Meza Dental for ~40% of the price in the US so I decided to put my fears aside and go to Costa Rica. I can’t begin to explain how pleased I am with my decision. Not only did I save 10s of thousands of dollars but the care that I received at Meza is probably the best medical experience in my 50 years on this planet. Dr Meza and his staff take obvious pride in their work and spent all the necessary time with me to explain and complete each and every procedure. The crowns that I received look absolutely perfect - the best I’ve ever seen. I would recommend this clinic to an American. Don’t let your nerves or the unknown get the best of you - you won’t be sorry.

Thanks so much for your testimonial, Bella! It was a pleasure having you here with us!
My first experience with Meza Dental was in 2013 when after researching various dental services around the globe I chose Meza and it was an excellent choice. I had extensive work done at the time and the results were phenomenal. Pain was kept to a minimum during the entire procedure and my well being was of utmost concern to the entire staff. Ten years later one of my implants fell out, a result…

of me not wearing my mouth guard not of Meza Dentals quality of work. I called and talked with Dr. Meza and he told me it was covered by a lifetime guarantee. I decided to go back to Costa Rica and have it taken care of. I just finished yesterday and I feel great. I really cannot say enough about the entire staff from José my driver while I was there to Rebecca who always greeted me with a sincere smile and remembered my name after 10 years and especially, and I am embarrassed I do not remember her name but the young women who assisted the doctors and took my panoramic X-rays. She was the best. So if you are looking for quality dental work with a significant savings over US dental prices give Meza Dental a call. You’ll be glad you did.
