It depends on where you go. But it’s still a lot cheaper than US. Dental work, in general, is much cheaper in Costa Rica. While the price is lower, the sanitary and quality standards are just as high. Many people from other countries travel to CR to have dental work. I have a friend (from US) who got extensive work done (several implants, lots of root canals and crowns). His US dentist quoted him $36,000. He paid $11,000 in CR, and that included the flight and the week-long stay.

In the US, teeth whitening by laser (ZOOM) costs anywhere from $400-800.

In Costa Rica, it costs under $250. You can get the regular (gel trays) teeth whitening for about $100. It’s $400-500 in the states.

You can look at the ads in the Tico Times (English newspaper in San Jose) for English-speaking dentist in San Jose.

I know of one place that has gotten good reviews. Http://www.dentavac.com/cost/
I have never used them so I can’t comment about the quality of their work.

Here are some others I’ve heard of:

It depends on what system you choose. At the dentist’s it is $200+ and possible quite a bit more. You can compare methods and costs here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whiten-teeth-to-promote-confidence/teeth-whitening-cost-indicating-effectiveness/

There are many Teeth Whitening Methods ranging from the products for at-home use, such as toothpaste, strips, and even gel trays, to in-office treatments applied by dentists.

They differ greatly in price, and also in effectiveness. In making a decision you should also consider the level of discoloration of your teeth. Care must be exercised to prevent damage to the teeth enamel.

I suggest you read up a bit more and compare the different systems before making a decision. You can do that here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/whiten-teeth-to-promote-confidence/teeth-whitening-cost-indicating-effectiveness/
