Do not hesitate to ask Who’s
Who in Costa Rica Finding a Doctor, Lawyer, Dentist, Professional
By Dr. John Williams, D.D.S.
When trying to find a competent doctor, lawyer, dentist
or other professional in Costa Rica, it’s best
to make sure you are in the right hands. Just beacuse
someone knows how to market their services, doesn’t
guarantee quality work or customer satisfaction.
When I strarted placing dental implants in my patients
way back in 1982 my colleagues thought I was crazy!
Very little information about the procedure had been
published and dental schools offered no implant courses.
Early ideas were exchanged only in whispers within the
dental underground. By the early 1980s two pioneer implantologists,
Dr. Linkow and Dr. Weiss, had made available insertable
blades as a base structure to support prosthetic work.
New companies emerged like Oratronics and supplied the
new industry. Blades quickly became the method of choice.
Dr. Babbush published his first book regarding implants
in 1980. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry and
The Alabama Implant Study group soon became major information
sources. Dr. Branemark then published his studies on
osseous integrated implants. This important system was
slow to catch on due to its start-up costs.
My personal break-through came when visiting Dr. Lazzarra
in Palm Beach who took time out of his practice to show
this Costa Rican dentist all about his new system. The
lights came on and I immediately adopted his superior
methodology. Today Dr. Lazzarra heads Implant Inovation
Inc.(3i), theworld’s leading implant supplier
organization. I subscribe to to 3i due to their use
of certified high grade titanium and state-of-the-art
precision fittings. Their prescribed dental rehabilitation
procedures are most reliable, fully functional, and
esthetically beautiful.
Currently our team offers the implant patient highly
qualified professional services ranging from oral surgery
to an American-board certified periodontist and endodontist.
I personally do the treatment planning, team coordination
and the final prosthetic work. Starting very young,
twenty years ago, in the implant field has given me
great experience and sufficient knowledge to treat both
the most complicated cases and the routine with great
confidence. Our lab work is all done with certified
high noble alloys and vita porcelain which are worked
by an italian artist of international repute.
