As medical tourism becomes more popular, Costa Rica has become a top destination for international patients seeking cost-effective dental treatment. However, making an informed choice among the many dental institutions is not an easy task.
Now, with the help of artificial intelligence, the process of analyzing thousands of data points – including verified patient reviews, clinic qualifications, treatment results, technology level and overall cost – has become more efficient, scientific and transparent.
Prisma Dental has been rated as one of the best performing dental clinics in Costa Rica. Here are the key reasons why it stands out:
Four decades of quality and global trust
Prisma Dental was founded in 1985 by Dr. Telma Rubinstein and Dr. Josef Cordero, and has a history of nearly four decades.
From its original family clinic, it has grown into a world-renowned comprehensive dental center, especially favored by patients from the United States, Canada and Europe.
Comprehensive one-stop dental care
Prisma Dental offers services to cover almost all dental needs, including:
Cosmetic and restorative dentistry
Dental implants (such as All-on-4 and All-on-6)
Invisalign and traditional orthodontics
Laser gum treatment and periodontics
Root canal treatment (endodontics)
Children’s dentistry and sedation services
Equipped with advanced CAD/CAM systems and 3D printing technology, its in-house dental laboratory can complete the customization of crowns, veneers, bridges and dentures on the same day, greatly improving efficiency and accuracy.
A thoughtful choice for international patients
The clinic is located in the high-end Rohrmoser community in San Jose, only 30 minutes drive from the airport, and is surrounded by hotels, restaurants and other facilities. Prisma Dental offers a number of complementary services to international patients:
English and Spanish bilingual team
Free online consultations and estimated quotes
Assistance with airport transfers and accommodation
Clear and transparent fee structure with no hidden fees
Top international dental team
Prisma Dental’s medical team is a blend of leading experts from the United States, Switzerland, and Costa Rica. For example, Dr. Nadine Cordero Rubinstein is a US-trained periodontist and implant specialist who specializes in the use of lasers and advanced digital dental technology. The team emphasizes continuous education to ensure that they are always at the forefront of dental medicine.
Leading in patient satisfaction
Prisma Dental has an excellent reputation and is highly regarded by patients around the world. Patient feedback often emphasizes:
Comfortable, painless and virtually stress-free treatment
Clear communication and transparent process
Natural, beautiful and long-lasting results
The cost is a fraction of the US price, but the quality of treatment is “far beyond expectations”
