Atlantis Dental, Esthetic and Implant Dentistry

Welcome to Atlantis Dental, Esthetic and Implant Dentistry

 

"Where Artistry and Dentistry become One"

Atlantis Dental is a tranquil, state of the art Boutique Clinic. Here, you’ll experience an ambiance very different than a regular dental office.

The reason why Dr. Da Cruz chose the Boutique Clinic concept, is because she cares about every patient and strives to provide exemplary standards in dentistry for each of them.  That’s why Atlantis Dental only accepts a limited number of cases per week.  Thanks to the time invested and the skills of our dedicated team of dental professionals, along with the most sophisticated technology, we will do our best to make sure the outcome of every treatment is the best it can possibly be.

Let us pamper you with a drink as soon as you walk through the door, and after you meet our staff you’ll realize this will be an experience unlike any other.  We make a commitment to take care of your dental health and meet your expectations.

You can relax with the soft music and aromatherapy. A comfortable dental chair, pillows, blanket, and Dr. Da Cruz’s angel’s hands will make you feel very relaxed while she creates your new beautiful smile.

Our goal is to provide you with the best dental care, at truly affordable prices.  So, what’s better than having your dental health issues taken care of for half the cost, while you enjoy a memorable vacation in beautiful, exotic Costa Rica?!!!!!

 

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT

During your first visit, Dr. Da Cruz will provide a complete oral examination and will evaluate your unique dental needs. We will ask questions about your medical and dental history and about any allergies you have or medicines you take. In some cases, x-rays or other types of tests will be needed in order to better assess your needs and provide an accurate treatment program. There will always be more than one treatment option for every patient. We are happy to answer any questions, and explain in detail any procedure being considered. You and Dr. Da Cruz will make a decision according to your expectations and budget.

We can also help you plan and schedule any other needed appointments and help you with travel arrangements.

We’re here to make you smile, so you can expect that our team will treat you with courtesy, professionalism and genuine concern for your care.

Costa Rica has rightfully earned a reputation as one of the best tourist destinations in the world for excellent care and facilities in the fields of plastic and cosmetic surgery, dental implants and dentistry.

Treatments and Procedures

 

Cosmetic dentistry

If you are concerned with the appearance of your teeth, Dr. Da Cruz is the doctor you’ve been looking for. She understands the art of dentistry, not just the science. Her eye for beauty and delicate and meticulous work, will give you the smile makeover you’ve been longing for.

We know that on the surface, creating white teeth, or even whole new teeth in general, may not appear to be that complicated. Yet, cosmetic dentistry requires a good eye, a thorough understanding of dental anatomy, a mastery of dental materials, and excellent communication skills between doctor, patient and laboratory technician. So don’t be afraid of telling Dr. Da Cruz what your main concerns about your smile are. She and her team will always strive to fulfill your expectations.

 From Dental Whitening, to Veneers, Crowns and Bridges, to Dental Implants. The wide range of options in treatments goes far beyond restoring teeth to their proper function. Cosmetic Dentistry seeks to attain the most ideal result according to the patient's definition of beauty. Even the smallest details count.

Contact us and receive a treatment plan and estimate for your smile makeover!

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are the best and most conservative option to replace missing teeth.

They’re biocompatible titanium or zirconium artificial roots that can replace one missing tooth to a full set of teeth, mimicking nature as closely as possible.

In Atlantis Dental we are able to enhance the quality of life for our patients, improving overall health while helping them gain the confidence that comes from a well functioning smile that looks good and feels natural.

The dental Implant placement process requires good planning, a skilled surgeon, and healing time. The latter can vary from patient to patient. One- or two-stage options will depend on the particulars of each case. Our goal will always be to achieve good bone healing around the implant so patients will enjoy long lasting restorations.

Contact us and receive a treatment plan and estimate for your new smile!

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

A full mouth reconstruction refers to rebuilding and/or replacing all of the teeth in a patient’s mouth. These extensive treatments combine esthetics with the science of restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and beauty.

The procedures needed to achieve a full mouth reconstruction can include crowns, bridges, onlays, veneers, root canals, dental implants, and dentures, among others. And the final goal will essentially provide not only a "smile makeover," but also improved chewing efficiency for the patient.  For some patients, other specialties like orthodontics may also be employed to facilitate the best possible outcome.

Treatment planning is key to achieving good results.  Gathering information from X-rays, CT scans, and medical history is the starting point for the process.  Contact us, let us know what your expectations are, and receive a treatment plan and estimate!

General Dentistry

General dentistry serves as the fist line of defense against oral health problems. Visiting us every 6 months will help you stay away from extensive treatments in the future.

Dr. Da Cruz is a conservative dentist, and considers primary preventive care as the foundation of her practice. She believes the future of dentistry is in providing health by prevention, and not simply curing disease. 

 So come to us for regular cleanings, braces, Invisalign, and restorative procedures such as fillings and inlays/onlays. Our team will provide you with the best care.

Testimonials

 

Dr. Da Cruz is truly an outstanding professional and practitioner. Many dentists advertise ‘gentle dentistry’; however I have never experienced more comfortable and painless care than with her and her excellent staff. From general dentistry, to implants, veneers… to Invisalign orthodontics, and endodontics. I could not recommend any clinic more than Atlantis Dental.

Sincerely, Casey R.

Dr. Da Cruz’s clinic is located in Escazú Costa Rica. Fernanda is a superb dentist, with a boutique-like clinic. My mother and I had all of our dental work done there. We saved about $10,000 total, as we both needed extensive work. And we got to go see the most amazing beautiful sites. You fly into San Jose, which is an International Airport… you can get there easily from almost anywhere. It is super safe. My mom and I went alone and I know several people in their 70’s and even 80’s go there alone. Escazú has a gorgeous Mall and a hospital owned and operated by a group out of Texas.  Everything is equal to U.S. standards! It's a fabulous way to save thousands of dollars on expensive dental work and to see a beautiful country. You don't have to go back for endless appointments like you do here in the U.S. They do everything in about a week or less. And even after hotel and airfare, it is about one-third of the U.S. cost!  Fernanda has such gentle hands patients actually fall asleep in the chair! I highly recommend this Clinic!

Jeanie C.

My son referred me to Dr. Da Cruz and I am thrilled that he did! The office was lovely and the staff was friendly and courteous. She saw me immediately, was very thorough and saved me about $6,000! I was told by another dentist that I needed to have two molars pulled and replaced with implants and crowns. That wasn't true at all. I only needed crowns. Thanks to Dr. Da Cruz.

Alice T.

I was on vacation and chipped my front tooth. Well, ended up getting the veneers I had been dreaming about for years! Dr. Da Cruz was fast and gave me opportunities to let her know if I was in distress. And I was never in distress during the procedure. Instead, I fell asleep…lol. My smile looks 110% better. It is an excellent efficient office as well. Thank you for helping me!

Annatte W.

I’m from Florida, but moved to Costa Rica a while ago. I had my semi-annual cleaning and checkup with Dr. Da Cruz this week. As always, it was an excellent experience. Dr. Da Cruz is an excellent option if you've got a job that doesn't provide much flexibility in terms of start times, or time off, since they have appointments starting at 8:00 a.m. The staff is great at what they do and are super friendly, too.

James S.

Everyone is always nice and they do a great job. This is my second trip to Costa Rica, and we loaded my implants this time. Checking in is super easy and there's really never a wait. It's in a convenient location and they also helped me with my hotel and tours. I've only had good experiences here.

Clara W.

I had a very pleasant experience, as usual, with Dr. Da Cruz. I was scheduled for Zoom whitening. No discomfort at all!

Ellen B.

I couldn't ask for a better dentist office. Incredibly friendly and great care.

Chris F.

Dr. Da Cruz did a very thorough, effective and efficient job... I enjoyed meeting her... She's great!
