Is Smile Design Right For You?
Overcoming the Emotional Tax of a Guarded Smile
Living with discolored, chipped, misaligned, or unevenly spaced teeth carries a heavy daily emotional burden. Constantly covering your mouth when laughing, avoiding spontaneous photographs, and feeling self-conscious during professional presentations drains your daily confidence. The true cost of delaying cosmetic restoration is the compounding toll of hiding your authentic self from the world.
Deep staining or intrinsic yellowing that does not respond to traditional medical whitening treatments or over-the-counter options.
Visible cosmetic defects such as chipped, cracked, heavily worn down, or naturally misshapen teeth that disrupt the alignment of your face.
Visible gaps, minor crowding, or uneven tooth lengths that you prefer to correct swiftly without spending years undergoing traditional orthodontic treatment.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Our Smile Design treatments are custom-tailored for international patients experiencing:
- ✓ Permanent tooth discoloration or deep staining that does not respond to traditional medical whitening.
- ✓ Structural imperfections such as chipped, cracked, worn down, or naturally misshapen teeth.
- ✓ Asymmetrical smile lines, visible gaps, or minor crowding that you prefer to correct without years of traditional orthodontic treatment.
The Elite Aesthetic Blueprint
Scientific Precision Meets Master-Level Dental Artistry. We reject the concept of artificial-looking, mass-produced cosmetic veneers. At North Pacific Clinic, we blend digital engineering with the meticulous craftsmanship required for a completely natural, lifelike aesthetic.
Digital Smile Design (DSD) Software
We utilize high-definition facial photography and 3D intraoral scans to digitally simulate your ideal smile proportions before any physical treatment begins. You participate actively in designing the length, shape, and alignment of your new teeth.
100% FDA and European Union Approved Materials
We work exclusively with elite porcelain, E-Max, and premium zirconia systems known for their exceptional translucency, strength, and stain resistance.
Ultra-Conservative Micro-Preparation
Our clinicians utilize microscopic techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth enamel as possible, ensuring long-term structural health and bond durability.
Rigorous Biosafety and Board Certifications
Every cosmetic specialist on our multidisciplinary team maintains active registration with the College of Dental Surgeons of Costa Rica and adheres to the exact sterilization standards enforced in the United States and Canada.
Your Streamlined Itinerary
A Radiant New Smile in Just 7 Business Days
Comprehensive Digital Architecture (Days 1–2)
Day 1: Comprehensive Digital Architecture – Digital intraoral scanning, cosmetic photography, and facial analysis at our Royal Palms Plaza facility. Day 2: The Structural Trial Smile – We temporarily apply a physical mock-up directly to your teeth. You can literally 'try on' your future smile in the mirror, evaluate the look, and request custom adjustments before anything is permanently fabricated.
Preparation & Master Synthesis (Days 3–5)
Day 3: Conservative Preparation & Temporary Placement – Micro-preparation of the enamel and placement of highly aesthetic provisional restorations. Days 4–5: Master Laboratory Synthesis & Beach Relaxation – While our laboratory technicians craft your custom porcelain restorations, you enjoy a relaxing vacation—watching the sunset, taking gentle coastal walks, and experiencing Tamarindo.
Permanent Bonding & Delivery (Days 6–7)
Day 6: Permanent Bonding & Occlusal Fine-Tuning – Dr. Diego Vernava permanently bonds your porcelain restorations, meticulously verifying your bite alignment and micro-aesthetics. Day 7: Final Post-Op Review & Flawless Departure – Return home via Liberia Airport (LIR) with a completely transformed, naturally radiant smile.
White-Glove Concierge Integration: Our team eliminates all travel friction by coordinating private chauffeurs directly from Liberia International Airport (LIR)—located just an hour away—and unlocking preferred medical-discount rates at premium local boutique hotels including the Tamarindo Bay Hotel, Antema Lodge, and Hotel Seis Playas.

"This was truly one of the best experiences of my life!!"
"Costa Rica was beautiful and I came home with the best souvenir ever! A sparkling new smile! I have struggled so many years with weak enamel and constant complications. Prior to coming to Costa Rica, three separate US dentists attempted to repair and save my natural teeth and every visit was more painful than the last. I had been told that dentures may be my best option, but at 43 I just couldn't do it. Dr. Diego saved every one of my teeth and transformed my smile! All in all, I spent less than 6 hours in the chair, over 3 visits. Pain was minimal and recovery was a breeze. After each visit, I was able to comfortably attend the adventure tours and other awesome things to see and do in Tamarindo. I had (13) complex, reconstructive fillings, (1) zirconia crown (avoided root canal), (8) veneers, whitening, cleaning, and received aftercare guidance. Bottom line- I can't wait to smile every chance I get. I would do it again in a second and it's one of the best decisions that I've ever made. Thank you so very much Dr. Diego!! I am eternally grateful!!!"
"Dr. Diego is an amazing dentist."
"We came from the United States to have him do our dental work. He did extensive necessary dental work on my husband last year. This year I have seen him for teeth whitening and now veneers. He is friendly, explains everything, and is great at what he does. We will continue to go to him anytime we need dental work."
Operational Protocols & Clarity
How long can I expect the results of my Digital Smile Design to last? ▼
When executed with elite materials and proper clinical techniques, porcelain veneers and cosmetic crowns are exceptionally durable. On average, our premium porcelain restorations last between 10 and 15+ years, and often much longer with routine care. Because we utilize 100% FDA-approved, bio-compatible materials, they are completely resistant to staining or discoloration over time. We provide comprehensive post-treatment guidance to ensure your investment remains flawless for decades.
Will my natural teeth have to be aggressively ground down? ▼
Absolutely not. We strictly adhere to a philosophy of conservative, micro-invasive dentistry. Traditional, outdated cosmetic methods often required aggressive tooth reduction. However, because we utilize advanced Digital Smile Design software and ultra-thin, high-strength porcelain materials, we only need to remove a microscopic layer of enamel—often less than a millimeter. This preserves the core structural integrity, health, and nerve vitality of your natural teeth.
What happens if I do not like the look of the teeth before they are permanently bonded? ▼
We have completely eliminated aesthetic guesswork through our physical mock-up phase. On Day 2 of your itinerary, we place a temporary, reversible version of your designed smile directly over your teeth using a tooth-colored diagnostic material. This allows you to walk out of the chair, look in the mirror, see the exact shapes and lengths, and verify that you love the aesthetics before our laboratory ever begins manufacturing your permanent porcelain. Nothing is permanently placed without your explicit visual approval.
