This certainly isn't for everyone but I'll tell you the work was great and affordable.
It's only affordable if you have no complications, and don't need to return there for follow-up.

Personally, I'd much rather know my dentist is in the same or immediate-next town as I am, so if something happens and I need it fixed, or an infection starts setting in, or it doesn't heal correctly, or the pain meds weren't sufficient and I need a refill, I don't have to deal with booking another flight, finding a hotel room, making an appointment, dealing with rental cars or cabs to get me to/from the airport in Costa Rica, etc. etc. etc.
