According to your link, implants in Costa Rica cost $750-800. In the
states, they cost $1200-1800. (We're talking about the implant...not the
abutment, and not the crown). That means they're about 50-65%...not 10% as
you claimed.

Well, like it or not, I think offshore medical and dental care could
become a big thing in the future. Maybe, as you say, the quality is
hit and miss right now. It would appear there's a large market
potential for marketing cheaper medical and dental services by our
close neighbors. Certainly one such as yourself, who's relatively
early in a career, has a lot to be concerned about. Auto and steel
workers may not be the only ones who's life is adversely affected by
cheap foreign labor.
