This certainly isn't for everyone but I'll tell you the work was great and affordable.
I also went to Costa Rica for implants. Costa Rica has a major industry in Medical Tourism - dentistry and cosmetic surgery - things that insurance either doesn't cover or gives limited benefits.

I had 6 implants, the work was first rate and half the price of the estimates that I was given here. Also, the airfare and hotel are tax deductible as a medical expense.
