How it works for a visitor
- Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the full-arch implant treatment and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goSend the clinic a recent panoramic X-ray or CT and ask for an itemised plan with the total.
- Before you goPlan for soft food and rest for the first days after surgery.
- LanguageSpanish; the private hospitals that take US patients work in English.
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
- After you returnFind a dentist at home who will look after the bridge, and give them the implant brand and parts list.
- After you returnSwelling that gets worse, a fever or a loose implant need prompt care.
Can your public system pay for it?
NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Costa Rica. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Costa Rica is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.
When not to travel for a full-arch implant treatment
- Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, recent radiotherapy to the jaw or bone-strengthening drugs such as bisphosphonates, unless a specialist has assessed you.
- Anyone who cannot make a second trip for the final bridge.
How to compare full-arch implant treatment quotes
All-on-4 (or All-on-6) replaces all the teeth in one jaw with a fixed bridge held by four to six implants. It is a large operation, often with extractions and sometimes bone grafting, usually under sedation. A temporary bridge goes in within days; the final bridge follows after healing. Prices depend on the implant brand and the bridge material, such as acrylic or zirconia.
- Get the number of implants, the brand and the final bridge material in writing.
- Ask whether extractions, bone grafts, sedation, the CT scan and the temporary bridge are included.
- Ask whether the price covers both visits, and what the guarantee covers if you cannot travel back.
- Get a second opinion at home before agreeing to have healthy teeth removed.

All-on-4 dental implants in Costa Rica: questions
How much does a full-arch implant treatment cost in Costa Rica?
The published prices we found range from $13,000, about £9,720 or $13,000. They come from Aesthetic Dental Care Costa Rica (inside Hospital Internacional CIMA, Escazu) and Costa Rica Dental (Centro Medico Sirius, San Juan). Each covers something slightly different, so read what is included before comparing.
Is a full-arch implant treatment in Costa Rica cheaper than paying privately in the UK?
We do not have both a UK price and a comparable Costa Rica price for this, so we cannot say. Compare the published prices on this page with a written quote from a UK provider.
Will the NHS or HSE pay for a full-arch implant treatment in Costa Rica?
No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. Costa Rica is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.
How many days should I plan in Costa Rica?
Usually two trips: about a week for the surgery and a temporary bridge, then a second visit some months later for the final bridge. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.
What should I check before booking a full-arch implant treatment in Costa Rica?
Get the number of implants, the brand and the final bridge material in writing. Ask whether extractions, bone grafts, sedation, the CT scan and the temporary bridge are included.
