Kaver Dental Clinic is a long-established practice in San José, Costa Rica, focused on cosmetic smile makeovers, dental implants, crowns and veneers, dentures, and full-mouth rehabilitation. Founded by Dr. Luis Kaver, a pioneer in Costa Rican cosmetic dentistry, the clinic combines experienced specialists, modern equipment, and a fully owned on-site laboratory to deliver efficient, coordinated care for international patients.
You can expect bilingual coordination in English and Spanish, clear treatment timelines, and written aftercare. Many cosmetic cases finish in days thanks to the on-site lab. Implant treatments are generally two-stage: placement, healing, and final teeth. Sending recent X-rays or CT scans before you travel helps the team confirm options, costs, and timing at your first visit.
Fly into SJO, Juan Santamaría International Airport. Rides to central San José typically take about 20–35 minutes by authorized airport taxi or Uber, depending on traffic.
Where to stay: Numerous hotels are within short rideshare distance. Your advisor can suggest convenient areas and share the GPS pin for smooth arrival.
Dental Departures Customer Care can coordinate quotes, share availability, and sequence appointments around your travel free of charge.
Guarantees are typically procedure-specific, often covering lab-made work such as crowns, veneers, and bridges, plus implant components for a defined period. Coverage usually requires routine maintenance and following written aftercare. Before treatment, Dental Departures can request the clinic’s current written warranty for your exact plan, including what is covered, duration, how repairs or replacements are handled, and any exclusions, such as missed follow-ups.
The clinic is in central San José, close to hotels, shopping, and restaurants. From SJO Airport, take an authorized airport taxi or Uber. The ride usually takes about 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. After booking, your advisor can send the exact GPS location plus tips on nearby hotel zones that minimize travel time between appointments.
Clinics catering to international patients generally accept cash and major credit or debit cards. Some larger plans may allow bank transfers. Because card brands, any processor fees, and potential cash discounts can change, your advisor can confirm the exact accepted methods for your dates and note any deposit needed to reserve lab time or surgical blocks.
You can expect English and Spanish support at reception and chairside. Tell Dental Departures your preference when booking so they can schedule you with an English-speaking dentist or coordinator and prepare bilingual consent and aftercare documents.
Most implant plans are two-stage. Stage 1, implant placement, typically fits into 3–7 days with short checks. Stage 2, the abutment and final teeth, occurs after healing, also called osseointegration. If bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, timelines extend. Dental Departures can map visits around your travel and discuss temporary or provisional teeth while you heal.
Yes. The in-house laboratory helps shorten turnaround for crowns, veneers, bridges, and many cosmetic cases. For single-tooth work or small smile zones, results can often be delivered in a few days, while larger rehabilitations are sequenced to keep chair time efficient.
Yes. Your Dental Departures team can coordinate airport-to-hotel transport through trusted providers and suggest nearby hotels based on your schedule and budget. Share your flight details so the team can align transport with your appointment plan.
