First-Time at Prisma Dental? Discover What to Expect in Your Visit

Your journey to a healthy, beautiful smile is completed in just five business days.

At Prisma Dental, we understand that many of our patients travel from abroad to receive world-class dental care at an affordable cost. That’s why we’ve streamlined our process to make your experience as efficient and comfortable as possible. Thanks to our team of on-site specialists and our fully equipped in-house dental laboratory, we’re able to complete most dental treatments — from dental crowns and veneers to bridges and dentures — in just five business days.

Comprehensive Dental Evaluation & Personalized Treatment Planning in Costa Rica

Your first day with us begins with a complete diagnosis. We take digital radiographs, review your dental needs in detail, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals. Once you’re ready, we begin with any dental procedures that require lab work — such as crowns, bridges, veneers, or dentures — right on the same day.

This is possible because our lab technicians work hand in hand with our dentists, ensuring precision and speed every step of the way.

Digital Diagnostics, Smile Design & Prep for Affordable Cosmetic Dentistry in Costa Rica

The second and third days of your stay are typically flexible. For some patients, these are relaxing free days to enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica — the volcanoes, beaches, and rainforest are all within reach. For others, these days are reserved for surgical procedures, such as extractions or the placement of dental implants.

These surgeries are performed by our experienced specialists, with comfort and safety as top priorities.

Final Dental Adjustments and Post-Treatment Care at Prisma Dental

On day four, we deliver your final restorations. This includes fitting and cementing your crowns, veneers, bridges, or dentures, all carefully crafted in our lab for a perfect fit and natural appearance. Our team ensures every detail aligns with your bite, function, and aesthetics before completion.

Final Dental Review, Aftercare Instructions & Departure Readiness

The fifth day is dedicated to final adjustments and quality checks. If you need a mouthguard, it will be delivered on this day as well. Before you leave, our dentists conduct a thorough review to confirm that everything feels comfortable, looks beautiful, and functions exactly as it should.

Because all of Prisma Dental’s specialists work under one roof and our on-site laboratory operates full-time, we can achieve results in a fraction of the time it would take elsewhere — without ever compromising quality or precision.

Smile Transformation in Just 5 Days: All-on-6 Dental Implants in Costa Rica

For patients undergoing All-on-6 full-arch restorations, the process is slightly different.

On the first day, we perform a complete diagnosis, including radiographs, CT scans, impressions for immediate fixed dentures, and a comprehensive review of your treatment plan. Some patients may also require a brief medical check-up before sedation.

The following day is surgery day, where our team places your implants and delivers your temporary fixed dentures on the very same day — so you’re never without teeth. This procedure is done under IV sedation, safely managed by a licensed anesthesiologist.

The next few days, typically days three to five, are dedicated to check-ups, post-operative care, and monitoring your healing progress to ensure optimal comfort and long-term success.

Experience World-Class Dental Care with Costa Rican Warmth

At Prisma Dental, our goal is to make your dental experience seamless — combining advanced dentistry, transparency, and the warmth of Costa Rican hospitality. Whether you’re here for a single crown or a complete smile transformation, you’ll leave with renewed confidence and a smile worth traveling for.
