Disclosure: Stay links go to Agoda and we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. We do not accept payment to rank or recommend clinics, and no clinics are listed yet. This site is not dental advice. Details.

We do not rate clinics. Ask these questions and write down the answers.

  • Is the dentist registered with the Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas, and is the status active?
  • Does the clinic show its Ministerio de Salud permit?
  • How are instruments cleaned and sterilized?
  • Which materials and brands will be used, and what warranty applies?
  • How do you handle emergencies and complaints?

The Colegio has a prosecutor’s office (Fiscalía) and a complaints (Denuncias) section on its website; ask the Colegio how to file a complaint. See Colegio de Cirujanos Dentistas de Costa Rica.
