Costa Rica vs the US: cited benchmarks
The one thing facilitator sites will not publish is an honest, sourced US price. Here are the US benchmarks with their sources named — compare them against the verified Costa Rica prices above.
| Procedure | US benchmark | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant (fixture only) | $2,143 | CareCredit ASQ360° 2023–24 national research |
| Single implant, all-in (fixture + abutment + crown) | $4,259 | Aspen Dental provider-published 2026 |
| Ceramic/porcelain crown | $697–$1,399 | CareCredit ASQ360° 2023–24 national research |
| Veneer (per tooth) | $1,765 avg | CareCredit ASQ360° 2023–24 national research |
| All-on-4 (full arch) | ~$24,000/arch(estimate) | Aggregator-triangulated estimate — not a median |
The All-on-4 US figure is an aggregator-triangulated estimate, not a verified median, and is labeled as such. The CareCredit figures are national research averages; the all-in implant figure is a provider-published price. Your local US quote will vary.
Methodology
What we verified. Every Costa Rica price on this page was extracted from the clinic's own public website, stored with the verbatim source quote and the date captured, and linked back to that source. n=6 verified single-implant prices across 6 San Jose clinics. Verified July 2026.
How to read the prices. Each cell is the clinic's cheapest published figure for that service; "from/starting" qualifiers are preserved. Single-implant quotes may or may not include the crown, so we show the per-clinic detail rather than collapsing everything into one number.
US comparison numbers are cited to their source (CareCredit ASQ360° national research; Aspen Dental provider-published pricing). The All-on-4 US figure is an explicitly-labeled estimate, not a median. We never present an uncited US number.
Prices change and this is not dental advice. Reconfirm current pricing, materials, and credentials directly with any clinic before treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a dental implant cost in Costa Rica?
Across six San Jose clinics we verified, single dental implants run a median of about $1,150, with a range of $800 to $1,600 depending on the implant brand and whether a crown is included. That compares to a US implant-fixture benchmark of $2,143 (CareCredit ASQ360° 2023–24). These figures are quoted verbatim from each clinic’s own website and dated; confirm the current price and what it includes directly with the clinic.
Is dental work in Costa Rica cheaper than the US?
For implants, the verified San Jose median of about $1,150 is roughly half the $2,143 US benchmark for the implant fixture, and well under the $4,259 US all-in implant figure (Aspen Dental provider-published 2026). Savings vary by procedure and by what each quote bundles. The prices on this page are the clinics’ own published cash prices — they are estimates until you confirm them, not guarantees.
How were these Costa Rica dental prices verified?
Each price was extracted from the clinic’s own public website, stored with the verbatim source quote and the date it was captured, and linked back to that source. We publish only what the clinic itself states. We do not accept facilitator or aggregator price claims, and we do not present a US comparison number without citing its source. Prices change — reconfirm directly with the clinic before you travel.
