Exceptional dental work! Nova Dental in Escazu Costa Rica is all that I wanted in dental care and more. I had been putting off the dental work I needed for years because I could not afford the huge price tag in the US. After doing my research, I discovered Nova Dental. I could not have been happier. The office is modern and clean, the service professional and efficient (I never waited for more than a few minutes), and the dental care some of the best I have ever received. Dr. Chavarria is gentle, thorough, and a perfectionist at his craft. In just one week, my smile is radiant and my mouth happy. I highly recommend Nova Dental and personally will return again should I need dental work in the future. Thank you for all you do Nova Dental!

In June of 2017 I went to Nova Dental in San Jose after doing extensive vetting of potential dental clinics both here in Tampa, FL and Costa Rica. Having been in CR a few times on vacation, I was familiar with the country and its "dental tourism". Dr. Obando and the clinic staff immediately made me comfortable through their professionalism and patient focus. I needed 6 implants. The surgery was performed without complication and pain (did not need pain killer). Two days later I came for the follow up visit and flew home the same day. In Nov, I returned to have the stems and crown fitted. The precise work of Dr. Obando during the first visit payed off, everything fit and I was able to return home. Dr Chavarria is, like Dr. Obando, a perfectionist, everything has to be perfect. So, after making sure this was not a short term success, I waited until now to be sure. Everything is as perfect as the day I left the clinic. Thank you Dr Obando and Chavarria for the great experience.

Back in 2013 I came to Nova Dental and had major surgery including bone grafts, 6 implants and a 12 unit upper hybrid bridge. I was extremely pleased with the work and the entire process. Last month 2 of the teeth on 1 side detached leaving the metal framework exposed. I contacted Dr. Obando and was very pleased to find out that the bridge was under warranty and would be repaired at no charge. I traveled to San Jose last week and they not only repaired the bridge but replaced all of the acrylic components at no charge. I believe the quality is even better than the original and it looks great! Thank you Dr. Obando for your expertise and professionalism. If you are looking for a great dentist for implant work I highly recommend Nova Dental.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Dr. Obando and his staff at Nova are the best. I had major work done (complete removal of old diseased teeth, removal of failed implants and associated infections, bone graphs, placement of new implants and finally fitted with upper and lower permanent dentures.) This is the best I have ever looked! Nova is as good as if not better than the best dental facility in the US. And believe me I have been to many. If you want state of the art dental work done at a reasonable cost.Call Dr Obando at Nova Dental..Mike Johnson Santa Fe, New Mexico

Thank you Dr. Obando and Dr. Chavarria 😁 Both exceptionally friendly and gentle. My dental experience was better than anticipated. I've never enjoyed going to the dentist, but if I have to, this is the place I want to go. All the equipment is very modern and updated making for a quicker and more enjoyable visit. I would recommend Nova Dental to everyone.

Nova Dental . . .THE BEST!
Dr. Luis Obando and Dr. Javier Chavarria are two of the finest quality implant and cosmetic dental specialists it will be your good fortune to engage. Couple that with their care and kindness for the patient, and you have a winning situation. They’re the consummate professionals, who make you feel like family & friends within minutes of your meeting them. My full mouth restoration – 26 beautiful, zirconium crowns – took about a week from start to finish. With Nova’s outstanding relationship with one of the most respected international Dental Labs, it all comes together very nicely in a timely and precise manner.
From a lifetime of grinding and clinching, my teeth started to flatten out as the enamel and dentin wore away. The troubles were endless: great difficulty in chewing; Jaw joints repositioning and locking up; speech affected not being able to properly pronounce most of the alphabet; and my beautiful, healthy smile from years ago was gone.
It is now all over with – I am back to full wellbeing, and my beautiful, healthy smile is back better than ever. I can’t believe that I was able to get back to such a rejuvenated state so quickly with the direction of Drs. Obando and Chavarria at the Nova Dental clinic. I can’t say enough about the care and attention of the Drs., and the beautiful, smiling staff from Office Manager Keren, to the Dental assistants: Seidi, Maria and Tania. They are my new friends – I will miss them!response / report this review -

Any one looking for dental work? look no further than Nova Dental in Escazu Costa Rica. This is my second time coming here and I brought a friend that needed much dental work too. They are highly professional and very skilled Dentists. Their whole staff is cordial and polite. There is no need to worry communicating in English they are all proficient. I highly recommend having dental work here. The implants installed in my mouth feels normal and natural looking, like my own teeth.

First, I would like to say that I was one big nervous chicken when it came to doing this. I must have researched for over 2 years. ( I wanted a full set of crowns on my upper teeth but doing it in the states would have cost me anywhere from 22 k to 35 k) THEN i fractured one of my back teeth and the dentist back home in Miami FL said I needed an implant that would cost upwards of 2k. =/ So I decided to bite the bullet and buy a ticket to Costa Rica.. with Hotel and Flight I broke even as far as what I would have paid in the states.. but the real reason I chose to do it was to SEE for myself how I felt and test it out with ONE tooth vs my whole set of teeth (10 total crowns) I loved my first visit.. NO Pain and so quick compared to what I have had done in the states. Also the facilities here are top notch and their equipment/technology is much more far advanced than any dentist in the states. So after my implant I needed to wait at least 6 months to get the implant crown (which is different than the other type crowns that have only a week turn over) I decided to get braces in the states and then come back in a year for the rest of my mouth. I could not be happier with my decision. I ALSO want to add that the dentist had many opportunities to up sell me.!! I initially hated my teeth soo much that I was willing to pay double and just get my whole mouth done in one go.. But he insisted that that was NOT the best option for me since my bottom teeth were healthy and would just need bleaching and straightening to match the crowns on the top !! Honestly I don't know of any cosmetic dentist in the states that would have taken that position. Really this is a no brainer. Why pay 20k to 50k in the US when you can do it for a fraction in a beautiful country and get some tourism done in your down time? The neighborhood where Nova Dental is located is a Rich upscale area with many fine shops and restaurants around in case that is also a concern. =)

After much research I picked Nova to perform a complete replacement of all my old metal fillings, a root canal, crown and one implant. Couldn't be more pleased with service and price. Better equipment than American dentists. Costa Rica is a great place to visit also, rafting in Turrialba, Britt coffee tour, Uber around San Jose, friendly people.

I would like to express my complete satisfaction of the care and process I experienced at Nova Dental Care. I met with three dental offices in San Jose/Escazu prior to choosing Nova Dental. I had extensive work scheduled on my teeth, including three implants, a bone graft, 19 crowns, a root canal, and an extraction. Dr. Obando and his team not only kept the pain at a minimum, but provided excellent results in the finished product. My teeth are now straight, beautifully white, and functional. I have always been self-conscious when it came to showing my teeth. I am now very proud of my smile and my appearance.
The Nova Dental facility was completely first rate, modern, clean, and provided technology that wasn’t available with local dentists in my hometown area. What impressed me the most was the concern to get the details correct and the dentist’s concern for my comfort. Every step was explained in detail, done in a timely manner, and at 1/3 the total cost compared to bids I received in the states. I would not hesitate to recommend Nova Dental to other’s seeking an alternative to dental work stateside.response / report this review -

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Obando and the staff at Nova Dental. Two weeks ago I had the first round of dental implant surgery done quickly, painlessly, and with such skill that I was eating normally after just a few days. With the IV sedation option the whole thing was over in what seemed to me to be seconds.
Dr Obando explaied everything in detail and encouraged all questions before he got started. I'm extremely happy with the work and the care I received at Nova. With top quality work (as good as any in the US), prices a third of what they are in the US, and a first rate hotel mere steps away from the clinic, Dr. Obando and Nova Dental are an excellent choice for quality dental work abroad.response / report this review -

Dr. Obono and I emailed for months discussing options. Finally I made the trip ( the first of probably 5 ). Take it from me, a guy that needs 5 visits, professional all the way. Comfortable office, wonderful staff and even a special rate at the Marriott across the parking lot. Yes, it's true, about a third of the cost at home. Can't say enough great things!!
Six months later, I've returned to Nova. My bone graph and titanium implants are completly healed and are ready to proceed with my restoration.
Dr. Obando and his staff preped me for 18 zirconia crowns. I was in a composite temporary set of teeth for 10 days while my crowns were made. Now all my teeth are hard, straight and perfect. The staff paid attention to all conceivable details.
He has a driver that'll take you back and forth to the airport. You'll get a discount on your stay in the posh Marriott across the parking lot. If you need dental work and you can afford about a third of what it costs in the states, go. He even takes American $. If I could give 6 stars, I would.response / report this review -

Everything from start to finish was wonderful, professional and pain free. The staff is superb and I am in love with my new smile. I saved probably ¾ off what the work would have cost me at home and had a few Costa Rican vacations too! I highly recommend Dr. Obando and his team. I think I'll fly back just to have a cleaning!
