"Two years ago I decided to travel to Costa Rica to seek dental treatment at a more affordable price. The work done by Dr. Bonilla was excellent. They have a whole team dedicated to make New Smile a number 1 destination for anyone looking for high quality dental work outside of the United States. I Highly recommend Dr. Bonilla and his team."

"When I spoke to a friend about all the mishaps I had endured, all the money I had already spent on American dental work with no warranties (even for breakage after only 45 days) and the current estimate of $38,300.00 to repair/replace all the damage, he suggested that I try the dentist he used in Costa Rica. The dental group he spoke very highly of was New Smile Dental. I now see why he was raving about his dentist, Dr. Fabio, and I totally agree with him. Edgar, our International contact who spoke perfect English, organized transportation to and from the airport, to and from the office and then also suggested some very nice reasonably priced hotels. Upon arrival, the office staff were very polite, organized, clean and professional with all the latest equipment. New Smile Dental also houses the factory to make all the crowns and bridges for their patients. The work I had done consisted of 3 implants, 2 bridges and the rest were crowns. I am very happy with the workmanship and I give New Smile Dental my highest recommendation for having your dental work done. The New Smile Dental Group was absolutely amazing from start to finish!"

"New Smile Dental Group meets you at the airport, picks you up at your hotel for each appointment and returns you to the airport. The main reason to come here is that they are true to their guarantee. There was never a question that if anything is not perfect, or additional work was needed, that they would take care of it...even years later. Mario, Jackie, Edgar and the whole staff take wonderful care of you at a very reasonable price. My husband and I have had all of our dental work done here for about 15 years and have saved thousands over what it would have cost in the USA...even with flights and hotel. I highly recommend them!"

"I had the pleasure of visiting New Smile Dental Implant Center in San Jose, Costa Rica, during a business trip, and I am thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service. Despite my relatively simple procedure of a broken filling replacement and teeth cleaning, the experience left a lasting impression on me. What stands out about New Smile is their unwavering commitment to excellence, regardless of the complexity of the procedure. They approached my case with the same level of professionalism and care that they extend to more intricate treatments. This philosophy speaks volumes about their dedication to providing top-notch service across the board. The staff at New Smile exuded respect and attentiveness, making me feel valued as a client. I strongly believe that a business that excels in the minor details is bound to excel in the grander aspects as well. If my uncomplicated treatment was handled with such precision and expertise, I have full confidence in their capabilities for more intricate procedures. My experience left me not only with a perfectly replaced filling and revitalized teeth but also with a genuine sense of satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend New Smile Dental Implant Center to fellow business professionals and individuals seeking quality dental work. For those considering dental care in Costa Rica, this center offers a fantastic combination of cost savings, excellent care, and uncompromising quality. My journey with New Smile has assured me that they are a remarkable choice for all dental needs."

"3 years ago I had my entire mouth redone with new Smile Dental they took care of me from the first call to schedule to my last drive to the San Jose Airport. Wonderful staff that wants to keep good healthy teeth intact and wants to provide workable usable and effective solutions to its clients. I saved more money than I ever thought possible. The work was top notch and even my dentist back in the States was very impressed and happy with the treatment plan. I recommend this place to anybody in the United States or the world for that matter, that needs dental work done whether it's fillings root canals crowns or veneers, implants or impressions these guys and gals will take care of you. You will leave happy and impressed. I returned 3 years later to have a cleaning and a repair done which they took care of at no cost to me and were able to see me and take care of it quickly with the same level of care as my first visit."
