In many, many instances ANY dental work in CR just doesn't add up as cheap money wise....perhaps cheap work wise....but not money.
Any of us who are over the age of 50 can purchase the AARP Dental Plan. This plan, when MANIPULATED (that's your job....to figure out how to best use it) is most cost effective and includes dental implants. Yes, there is a two year waiting period for work like crowns and implants....and there is also an annual maximum.....but if you work with your dentist and the implant specialist, they'll be more than happy to assist you in manipulating how to best get the work done at the least costly rate.
Now, I AM referring to one or two implants....if you neglected your mouth and your teeth during the course of your adult lifetime, you're gonna pay, pay, pay, pay; whether it's in CR or in the US of A. Why did you neglect your teeth all that time? Moronic thinking and you'll just have to resign yourself to paying out the ass.
Major disadvantage to having dental work in CR: Who backs up the "warranty" when some of the work fails....and fail it shall? You'll have an excuse to fly down to CR but big deal....when you add up just how much you're spending, you're better off sticking with your USA based dental "team". One stop shopping in the dental business is for idiots. And, we're finding more and more of these "one stop" joints in the USA. I have no "advice" for that kind of work.....you must have REALLY neglected simple and basic oral hygiene.
However, if we're talking about one or two crowns and one or two implants, this AARP insurance plan really is cost effective. The premium is about $60 per month and that covers three cleanings and exams per year and basic dental services....but for root canals, crowns, and implants, there IS a two year waiting period which, at the time, seemed to me like it sucked. However, after the fact, I saved so much money compared to flights back and forth to SJO and by USA Board Certified professionals who were there to back up their work should something go astray, it was a no brainer.
Who wants to fuuck whores or even have your dick sucked when your head has artillery strikes going on in it after a "procedure" in CR? https://www.deltadentalins.com/aarp/ check it. It may be YOUR ticket if you've just a couple of issues. However, if you've wholly neglected your teeth (a LIVING organism) you're fuccked money wise. Period. Still makes more sense to have it done locally in your area of the USA so that you don't run into "problems" due to "cost cutting" going on in CR.
Still, it's your life and your mouth......do want you want. I know what worked for me....both financially and mentally. I HAD been a proponent of using CR dental "professionals". I'm very glad I elected to stick with the good ole' USA and this AARP insurance....MANIPULATING it so that I maximized my benefits with the assistance of the bean counter in the local dentist's office.....and that was via the Mayo Clinic dental pro's in Rochester. Mayo ain't on the map for dental work......but that's coming.....
