Dental Implant Packages for Costa RicaMassimo Manzi, executive director of the nonprofit organization PROMED, recently estimated in the Costa Rican newspaper La Nación that by 2014 the country will see as many as 100,000 medical tourists per year.

The dental vacation packages offered by dental centers in Costa Rica  would provide an opportunity for many Americans and Canadians to benefit from dental services that are beyond their pocket’s reach back home.

The steep costs of dental treatments in most countries of the West are daunting for people with limited budgets. It makes matters even worse for those who have limited or no dental insurance. A Survey of Dental Care Affordability and Accessibility conducted by Empirica Research in conjunction with Dr. David Neal in 2011 stated that approximately 50% of Americans did not have dental insurance.
