A decision this important deserves a doctor you can look in the eye
Traveling abroad for major dental work is a serious, personal decision. That is why the doctor's role is visible from the very first step: who evaluates your case, who plans your treatment, and who follows up afterward.
Dr. Aguilar's approach centers on clear diagnosis, personalized planning and natural-looking results. The clinic, Oral Hospital - Galería Dental in Heredia, with its own on-site dental laboratory, is simply where that care happens.

Honest answers before you travel
How many trips to Costa Rica does All-on-6 usually take?
Most full-arch implant cases need two visits: one to place the implants and one for the final restoration after healing. The exact timeline depends on your clinical condition and is confirmed during evaluation.
Can I get a quote before traveling?
Yes. After reviewing your photos and X-rays, Dr. Aguilar prepares a preliminary treatment recommendation with an itemized estimate. A final plan always requires in-person clinical evaluation.
Why do U.S. patients choose Costa Rica for dental work?
Specialized care, personal attention from the treating doctor, short direct flights, and savings of up to 60% compared with U.S. prices. For complex treatment, the decision should rest on the doctor and the plan, not on price alone.
How is quality controlled?
Dr. Aguilar trained in advanced implantology at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and is a Member of the AAID and the AACD. The clinic operates its own on-site dental laboratory, so restorations are made and adjusted in-house.
What happens after I send my case?
The international patient team reviews your information within one business day, and when helpful, schedules a virtual consult before you travel. You receive a recommendation built for your case, with the price that goes with it, rather than a menu quoted before anyone looked at your mouth.
