Your patient journey, start to finish

The most common worry international patients share is simple: "What actually happens, step by step?" Here's the full plan.

1

Send your x-rays or photos

Share a recent panoramic x-ray if you have one, or simply photos of your teeth. No x-ray yet? We can tell you what's needed.

2

Free virtual consultation

A dentist reviews your case over a video call or written report and discusses treatment options in plain English.

3

Written quote & treatment plan

You receive a clear, itemized quote and an estimate of how many days you'll need in Costa Rica — usually within 24–48 hours.

4

Book your flights

Fly into Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR) in Liberia — direct flights run from several major U.S. cities.

5

Arrive & get picked up

Our team can arrange airport pickup — the clinic is five minutes away, so there's no long transfer after your flight.

6

Settle in

Check into your hotel (we're happy to recommend options near the clinic) and rest before your first appointment.

7

Receive treatment

Your treatment plan is carried out over the agreed number of days, with time built in between appointments for rest — or a day at the beach.

8

Fly home with aftercare instructions

You leave with clear aftercare guidance and a direct line to the clinic for any follow-up questions.
