Amanda’s Dental Implant Journey with PlacidWay

Full-Mouth Restoration in Costa Rica

My name is Amanda, and I teach art to high schoolers. My classroom is a whirlwind of color and creativity, but behind my tight-lipped smile, I was hiding constant shame. I'd always had trouble with my teeth, and years of genetics, old fillings, and accidents took their toll.

It started with a persistent ache and a few chipped teeth. Eating became painful, and I was embarrassed by my smile. I avoided speaking up in meetings or even laughing with friends. As an art teacher, I felt like a fraud who couldn’t even showcase her own smile.

The tipping point came when one of my students innocently asked why I never smiled with my teeth. That question made me realize my dental health was more than a personal issue—it was a barrier to my confidence and my connection with my students.

I knew I had to act, but the quotes I received from local dentists were crushing. A full-mouth restoration with dental implants and crowns was going to cost over $60,000. As a teacher, that price was impossible. It felt like I was being punished for my dental problems.

"I'd go to the dentist, and the numbers they'd throw at me were just impossible. I felt so defeated. It was like I had to choose between my health and my financial future."

I started feeling hopeless, until I discovered dental tourism and PlacidWay. The idea of getting high-quality care abroad at a fraction of the cost was exciting but scary. What if something went wrong?

My fears disappeared after my first consultation with a PlacidWay representative. She listened to my story, explained full-mouth restoration, and connected me with top-rated clinics in Mexico and Costa Rica. Seeing patient testimonials and detailed doctor bios gave me confidence.

I chose Costa Rica for its world-class dentists and beautiful scenery. PlacidWay handled everything—travel, hotel, and even a driver. The process felt seamless, and my anxiety about medical travel faded away.

When I arrived at the dental clinic in San José, I was amazed. The modern, spotless facility and warm staff put me at ease. My dentist explained every step of the dental implant procedure. Extractions and implant placement were far more comfortable than expected, and temporary teeth allowed me to enjoy the city, explore art galleries, and truly experience Costa Rica.

"I can't say enough about the PlacidWay team. They weren't just a booking service; they were a true partner in this journey. They held my hand every step of the way, from the first call to the final follow-up. That kind of personal care is priceless."

My second trip was for my final dental crowns and bridges. This time, I felt excited, not nervous. The transformation was beyond words.

When my dentist handed me a mirror, I didn’t recognize myself. For the first time in years, I had a full, perfect smile. Tears filled my eyes—not from pain, but pure joy and relief.

Back home, my students noticed right away. I saw my reflection, smiling freely, and it felt like my true self had finally returned. The confidence from my new smile touched every part of my life.

PlacidWay made what once felt impossible into reality. They gave me more than a new smile—they gave me a new life. If you’re struggling with dental issues, don’t give up. Reach out to PlacidWay for safe, affordable, and truly transformative care.
