Hello, my name is Bruce Flood, and I had a whole bunch of dental work done. I had all but 8 teeth worked on; I had 3 root canals, a tooth pulled, 2 bridges and there's my teeth.
My name is Joye Flood and I had 2 bridges, 2 implants, some teeth at the bottom straightened out, I had one tooth pulled, 2 root canals and veneers put in. That's what I had done. I was glad we went and did it.

On 26 October 2010 I arrived in Costa Rica and began an operation that literally changed my life in ways I had not anticipated. Dr. Mario Bonilla was very re-assuring.
When I first saw the permanents my spirit soared. I did not mind waiting a couple days to actually have them fitted. My smile returned, even before the new teeth. The day I was finally fitted, everything felt different. Then I discovered that had to learn to eat all over again! My tongue had so much less space now, that I kept biting it. It is now 2 months and my tongue feels quite at home in my mouth.
Most of all, I must thank New Smiles for such a delightful experience! They are a uniquely supportive group. Their hospitality was so generous, that I had come through the whole ordeal and it still felt like a vacation!

After receiving an estimate from our local dentist for extensive restoration work, I began to look outside the US. For well over a year, I researched dental clinics around the world and narrowed the search to one of two clinics. After additional research and telephone calls made to a list of previous clients provided by both clinics, I decided on New Smile.
The experience was very positive. Dental work is not my favorite pastime, but the extensive work was completed in 2 visits and inbetween those visits, I enjoyed traveling throughout the beautiful little country called Costa Rica.
Would I do it again? Yes. Would I recommend New Smile to a friend or family member? Yes. I've recommended this clinic to many friends & family.
Almonds, walnuts & pistachios can always be found in my pantry now, because I find sheer joy in crunching those little nuggets of protein between my implanted molars. I find food more flavorable now because of my increased chewing capacity & efficiency.
Having this dental work done is one of the most satisfying investments that I have made in my life.

I went to New Smile for dental implants and it changed my life. I can smile once again and my teeth are beautiful. Not only did New Smile save me thousands of dollars, they saved me a lot of time and pain. Unlike the states, they have an onsite lab and the work was done in one week. The doctors are excellent and the staff very friendly and caring.
Traveling to Costa Rica and choosing New Smile for my dental work was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Sincerely,
Jessica

Dr. Bonilla and his assistants did an excellent job on my implants. I and my wife was shocked about the fact that I had no pain at all during, after and now. The work done was excellent and I have given all the business cards out. I wish I had taken more of the three page flyer about the clinic to give to my friends but I have referred them to your internet site.
If I ever need major dental work I know your office can handle it.

We came here because I knew it was time to face my dental challenges once and for all. It may be surprising that my step-mother is a dentist and that I have spent many hours in a dental chair before meeting Dr. Mario. My dental history has been one of my few physical challenges- thank god! I desire to express my gratitude to Dr. Mario for being brave and seeing me as a patient. I have been to at least 5 different dentists in the US and they lacked the experience or confidence to help me. I was often referred to another dentist in a different city and it was put off. Dr. Mario and Jacqueline were so kind and didn't bother me with obvious questions or insulting remarks that I have received before from other dentists. I felt like a person at the dentist from the whole staff- from Milena who called me on the phone to tell me about the procedure to the driver waiting at the hotel for me. I am so grateful to be able to eat solid foods again without taking a huge loan out to pay for my necessary dental work. Thank you to the dental assistants who worked so hard and were positive happy people. I trust your practice will grow with your excellent dental work and the way you care for your patients.

For the length of timme and the cost of the full mouth crown and bridges it saved me more money then i could ever believe. personal attention and expert workmanshop made the experience worth while.I have personelly given out information to several of my friends and associates..the recovery time is very short compared to the versions i've heard of in the states. thank you new smile

Thank you for the excellent service in providing me with immediate load implants.
I am very happy with my new teeth. They have much improved my smile, they are fully functional, and I have had no pain or difficulty with them whatsoever.
The excellent doctors at New Smile took very efficient care of me. I walked into the clinic at 8:30 AM, and before noon I walked out with three immediate load implants and temporary crowns. The permanent crowns were completed a few days later and placed on the implants in a second appointment that lasted about an hour.
In the United States I was given an estimate of $9300 for two implants and crowns, numbers 4 and 29, and advised that the process would take about four months to complete. At New Smile, the doctor examined me and suggested that I would have better results and an improved bite with three implants, numbers 4, 29 and 30. The total cost for three new teeth was $3515, almost $6000 less than the cost for two teeth in the U.S.
Thank you very much, New Smile, for your excellent and friendly service. It was a pleasure to visit you in beautiful Costa Rica.
