DentaVac Dental Clinic

"My experience at Dentavac dental clinic is something I will remember for the rest of my life—not just because of the dental work, but because of the incredible people who walked beside me through every step of this journey. I knew I had major work ahead of me, and I was honestly terrified. A close friend of mine had his All-on-4 done here, and seeing how beautiful his results were gave me hope. He connected me with Hazel, and that one phone call changed everything. From the first moment Hazel spoke to me, she made me feel safe. She was warm, patient, understanding, and treated me as if she had known me for years. She asked for pictures, reviewed everything quickly, explained the process, and helped me understand that I needed All-on-6 upper and lower. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, her kindness gave me the courage to move forward. She truly cared about me—not just as a patient, but as a human being. Hazel coordinated every detail. When I arrived in Costa Rica, Juan was waiting for me at the airport, smiling, kind, and ready to help. Hazel even came to meet me personally on my first day to make sure I didn’t feel alone. That meant so much to me. The moment I walked into Dentavac , I felt surrounded by love, warmth, and professionalism. Maria, Rocío, and Isabel greeted me with genuine kindness. These women are extraordinary—gentle, compassionate, and completely devoted to making sure I felt comfortable and supported. Their hearts are truly in their work, and you can feel that in every interaction. My surgeons, Dr. Acosta and Dr. Báez, were absolutely incredible. They explained every step to me with patience, clarity, and confidence. They worked with such precision and teamwork that I instantly trusted them. Their calmness made me calm. Their confidence made me brave. And the techs… their excitement for me was real. They celebrated my new smile with me as if they were celebrating a family member’s milestone. They even surprised me on my birthday with cake and singing. I will never forget standing there, emotional, surrounded by people who truly cared about me. It wasn’t just kindness—it was heart. I walked into this experience scared. But because of Hazel, Juan, Maria, Rocío, Isabel, Dr. Acosta, Dr. Báez, and the entire team, I felt held, supported, and lifted every step of the way. They turned something that could have been frightening into something beautiful. I never once felt alone. I never once felt unsure. Every single person there made me feel seen, cared for, and safe. Dentavac didn’t just give me a new smile—they gave me confidence, comfort, and a sense of family during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. These people truly have their hearts in their work, and their compassion is something I will carry with me forever. I recommend them with all of my heart. They are not just a dental clinic—they are extraordinary human beings, and I am endlessly grateful for every single one of them."

"I was researching dental services in San Jose and found Dentavac. I called and Hazel was so efficient on providing information. I needed a root canal and she answered all my questions. The best part was that I kept texting and calling and Hazel was answering all my questions making me feel comfortable. I visited from Florida and the team was friendly, caring and did my root canal for an inexpensive price. Will be going back for continued work needed. Thank you!"

"From the moment Juan, the DentaVac driver picked me up from the airport, to the moment he dropped me back again 10 days later, I had the most extraordinary experience with the DentaVac team and can’t possibly say enough good things about them. I needed a huge amount of dental work done, and the cost was prohibitive where I live in the USA. A friend recommended DentaVac so I contacted them and set up a time to get all my work done. In the space of 3 days, I got cavities filled, a root canal, wisdom teeth extracted, implants and more. It was SO much work and was done so expertly and with so much care. I had never been to Costa Rica before, and was nervous about all of it. Hazel, the patient coordinator, was on hand to provide me with so much info and support - before I arrived and while I was in country. The dental team was equally impressive and the care exceeded any level of dental care I’ve ever received in the USA. The dentist explained everything to me in great detail - I didn’t feel rushed or dismissed. Even the view from the dentist’s chair was stunning! (See pic attached). What was very different from dental care in the USA is that the specialists come to you, instead of you going to the specialists. I needed to see an endodontist and an oral surgeon - both of whom work at multiple practices but came to DentaVac to do my work. It was a one-stop-shop! And an affordable one. The work I had done would’ve cost me over $20,000 in the USA. In total, I’ll spend around $7,000 in Costa Rica. They even threw in a teeth cleaning for free! I added on some time to be on the coast during my recovery, which was quite literally a tropical paradise. I spent 3-4 days in Cahuita and so appreciated being in a warm and beautiful environment while my mouth recovered. As a single woman traveler, I felt safe at all times, and in all it was a seamless and enjoyable experience - something I never expected to say about dental surgery in a foreign country! I 1000% recommend DentaVac to anyone needing dental work done. I’ll be back for a followup visit in July 2025 and can’t wait to be back! A HUGE thank you to the DentaVac team!!!"

"Hazel is the start of it ALL.. and she is so patient and kind and efficient Then the office staff Roci.. and all the ladies that work there are just so kind, patient and considerate. Dr Beaz is THE MAN he is an artist, He makes you so comfortable. He listens and does exactly what you need him to do. The whole experience has been A TEN FOR ME.. Been twice and going back in August to finish up."

"I had all teeth extracted and implants placed in October 2025 and I am completely satisfied with the experience. I was anticipating the eventual necessity of the procedure for a long time of course, and I was expecting it to be very arduous and painful in addition to being very expensive. But at Dentavac it was not... everything went much more easily than I could have hoped. All of the many people here who participated in my care were superb. For anyone here researching in advance of having similar work done and may be anxious about it, I will describe how it went for me. I was examined and x-rayed on the afternoon of the day I arrived. The following afternoon was the surgery. I was put under IV sedation that was described as "conscious sedation" but I remember nothing after the anesthesiologist inserting the needle until all the work was done. From the next day on I had minimal pain and little swelling, I think a testament to the skill of the surgeon Dr. Calvo. For the rest of my time in San Jose, there were short daily appointments at the clinic where they worked on the temporary denture. The poking and prodding at my gums was a little uncomfortable, but really almost nothing during the entire process rose to the level of "pain". Besides being far more expensive, I also don't believe I could have gotten better care anywhere in the USA. I'm very glad I decided to go to Dentavac clinic."
