Here is some information on the more popular procedures for health travelers:

Implants:

We will need a 3D X-Ray in our CBCT Scan  first to make sure everything is ok in the bone area.

Our brand MIS and Zimmer biomet very well known all over the world, is the brand we use for the implants, 98% of our cases have excellent results and happy patients, if there is any problem we get a warranty of the commercial house distributor. 

There are 2 phases, the 1st phase we place the implant screw and ask the patient to recover from 2 to 4 months so everything will heal properly and the 2nd phase will be to make a new appointment to add the crown and finish the procedure. 

Crowns:

The crown is needed if 3 or more faces of the tooth is damaged, we have our Dental Lab that uses CAD CAM software here in the clinic, this makes it easier for the patient and for our team to prepare the crown in 1 hour.

The materials we use are  Zirconium, porcelain and resin.

Laser Whitening:

Our whitening includes a deep cleaning with our Bio Sonic instrument, the whitening is made with our German Flash LED lamp and it doesn´t damage the toothpaste. 

The procedure consists in 3 sessions of 15 minutes and all the procedure including the deep cleaning takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

Crystal Dental Care provide many more services to dental travelers as listed below.

MyMat – Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) device
22 March, 2019

MyMat – Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) device

MyMat – Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) device, reduces stress and pain symptoms, enhances sports and work performance, improves sleep, meditation, concentration and much more.

MyMat helps at the cellular level by charging magnetic fields surrounding cell membranes so channels open up for better nutrient penetration. Opening the channels also promotes easier waste elimination, efficiently restoring proper cell function. An efficient system of cells creates efficient tissue, which come together to make organs. Restoring proper function from the cellular level brings beneficial long-term effects to all related problems and improves overall well-being. Healthy cell function also diminishes the need for cell replacement, slowing down aging processes and energy waste.

Benefits of the PEMF Technology on the body

• Improving tissue healing
• Reducing pain
• Increasing energy
• Improving sleep
• Making soft tissue more flexible
• Meridian Stimulation
• Reducing blood pressure
• Improving clotting factors
• Reducing the ontake of arthritis
• Immune system stimulation
• Detox
• Helping nerve function
• Improving nutrient absorption
• Reducing muscle tension

I think MyMat is fantastic. The pain on my foot has disappeared completely. I had been suffering from it for a long time. I had it infiltrated with cortisone because only this drug gave me some relieve. I cannot believe how quick and efficient this device works.

Doc. Luis Carlos Mora, Costa Rica

MyMat is a wonderful healing device. As a holistic practitioner I frequently use it on myself, my family, and on clients. The diversity of settings and the ease of use make it both accessible and far-reaching in what it can do. I have found it both incredibly effective for energetic and physical imbalances and I am particularly impressed with how great it is for insomnia and overall foundational energy balancing.

Celina de Leon, San Francisco

I’m happy with the MyMat.  The peripheral neuropathy that was bothering me has improved considerably and I feel generally healthy.  I think the Mat has had an impact on both.  I use it consistently.  I notice that after a workout that gives me muscle soreness that using it makes that pass very quickly.

Carl H, USA

When I bought the MyMat I had been suffering from a pain in my left hip joint which used to flare up mostly at nights and disturbed my sleep.

After only one single 20-minute session I was free from this pain.

My husband has had a chronic problem with his feet, and was equally surprised to find that this program helped him.

Since then I have been experimenting with various settings, and found that “Relaxation” knocked me out; so I use it only at nights, and “Vitality” lives up to its name when used in the mornings.

I never expected something as simple as the MyMat to produce such dramatic results. Thanks to all who have worked so diligently to make this healing method available.

Costa Rica Treatment Center

Costa Rica Treatment Center

Costa Rica Treatment Center is an is an evidence-based residential treatment program designed to meet the individual addiction and dual-diagnosis needs of chemically dependent men and women. Our comprehensive programs are focused on complete reintegration and the creation of a strong recovery foundation. We offer 30,60, 90 and 120-day individualized programs, from $5,950 per month.

Costa Rica Treatment Center began with a single mission in mind; to heal individuals, families and communities suffering from addiction and other related mental health disorders by offering highly effective and affordable evidence-based treatment services while maintaining the highest level of quality and client care.

We operate under the disease model of addiction. Integrating this philosophy into our psycho-educational and experiential programming means we help each individual understand that addiction is a disease which becomes worse, never better over time and is inevitably fatal if left untreated.

Evidence-based treatment practices and proven modalities are integrated into our treatment planning to educate on the disease, develop relapse prevention techniques and ultimately develop a life that is no longer consumed by drugs and alcohol.

We believe the only way to effectively treat our clients is to look beyond the obvious symptoms, identify the source of the problem, and focus on continued healing of every facet of the person as a whole – mind, body and spirit.

Each treatment plan is individually developed in accordance with the client’s unique medical history, psychiatric and biopsychosocial diagnosis, spiritual condition, and their cognitive level. Our programs are geared to improve each aspect of the client’s life including their physical, mental, emotional, social, family, and spiritual condition.

Costa Rica Treatment Center has successfully helped clients to better health and recovery at their San José location for 7 years.

From 15 July 2023 we are opening a new center in the countryside of Atenas, named Riverside. With riverside trails, pool and individual cabin suite accommodations and a brand new purpose built teaching center.

Clients now have the option to visit either center or to spend time at both centers.
