HOW DID I END UP IN COSTA RICA
FOR DENTAL RESTORATION???

About a month ago, I wrote the group to see if anyone was interested in joining me for a combination trip of Dental Work in Costa Rica and a tour through Gautamala. 

Well, I am presently in Costa Rica seeing my dentist with appointments each day since Monday, when arriving.  I will fly home Friday.  My reason for being here was prompted by a Florida doctor diagnosing problems with 2 crowns.  My Costa Rica dentist offered me an opportunity to replace the 2 crowns free of charge as he guarantees his work for 5 years.  Since I wanted a recheck anyway for the implants I had done 3 years ago, just precautionary, I made this quick visit here. 

As it turns out, the Florida doctor wanted to replace 2 crowns as his recommendation where it really wasn't necessary.  How this all happens, in my opinion, will be written in a blog on Sage's Wise Travel Talk.   Please visit www.sageswisetraveltalk to read the article I wrote, "Dental Tourism...Why Not Go Internationally" which offers many reasons I feel International Dentistry is a more honest approach to getting a fabulous smile for an affordable price.


 

While here in Costa Rica, I am talking with my dentist about my bringing several people at one time.  There is a bit of preparation before arriving for International Dental work, but in the end, I prefer it because you arrive and 5-10 days later, depending on work done, you are completed and ready to go home..... smiling as you go, and with enough change in your pocket to have another vacation. My $34,000 of quotes cost me about $8500 in the end, and I thankfully have had no problems except for this one the Sarasota Dentist conjured up.

There are days without any office visits, or you can take a vacation in between, while crowns are being made.  In the interim periods, I have been a tourist, enjoying San Jose and nearby communities like Heredia, Alejuela, Sarchi, etc........OR I have taken a few days to travel to nearby countries like Nicaragua and Panama....as well as the Rain Forest of Monteverde, Arenal Volcano/Waterfalls, the luxurious touristy playground of Montezuma, the incredible volcanic waters of Manuel Antonio, as well as the dozen natural hot springs of Tabacon.  There is much to do in Costa Rica, and it is an easy country to navigate with its public transportation system.

This email is to let you all know I am now ready to organize a small group.  A group works better because the cost of accommodations is cut in half.  With a group, you don't have to ask a friend to travel with you only to have to wait around while you keep office visits.  I have stayed in a 1/2 dozen different places within my 4 visits here...from 4* hotels, to apartments, to small hotels set up specifically for medical tourism, to homes whereby I attended an institute taking private Spanish Language lessons.  These 4 nights I have

There are many pluses in a small group besides the savings; but even more rewarding in the "Buddy System" are the benefits of exploring with a fellow traveler, hanging out at night socializing or playing cards, etc.

WHY IS IT BEST TO GO WITH A SMALL GROUP?

After the email to the meetup group, I received responses from 8 individuals wishing I could consider this later this year.  I am already working with one friend preparing her way to make this decision.

DO YOU HAVE AN "IF"???
READ BELOW and DON'T BE "IFFY"

IF you have been on the fence about doing this, although you've heard about it dozens of other people.....NOW is your opportunity

IF you have wanted to do it, but did not know how to start.....NOW is your opportunity

IF you are curious and would like to investigate the possibility of doing it in the future, while finally getting to Costa Rica to visit......NOW is your opportunity.

IF you have been quoted thousands of dollars ($$$$$$) for dental work, and would like to get it done for 25-30% of that quote.....NOW is your opportunity
