10 veneers + 2 crowns over a 6-day Costa Rica trip. Quoted $27,000 in Dallas.
A Dallas mom of two finally gave herself permission. 6-day trip, no regrets.
I had wanted to fix my smile for 15 years. I just couldn't justify spending $27,000 when we have two kids in college. Every time I brought it up, my husband said 'do whatever makes you happy' but I knew the number was the problem.
I found Nira through a Google search after a friend mentioned dental tourism. The first call I had with my coordinator, I cried. Not because of the price — though that was part of it — but because for the first time in 15 years it felt possible.
Costa Rica was magical. I went in February. We stayed at a wellness-focused hotel in Escazú, 10 minutes from the clinic. The dental work itself was over 3 days. The other days were spa, hot springs, and reading in a hammock. I came home rested AND with a new smile.
Everyone in my life has noticed. None of them know I went to Costa Rica unless I tell them.
"Don't wait 15 years like I did. The number you're afraid of in the US isn't your only option."
