Prisma Dental is featured in the November issue of Delta Sky, the in-flight magazine of Delta Airlines. Writer Abby Ellin did a great feature:
Passport // Medical Tourism: Health Care Goes Global
… on pages 112 — 119 of the magazine. Josef and Telma are the only dentists featured in this article that covers international healthcare around the globe, from India and Thailand to Europe to Central and South America.
Delta Sky is available online at http://deltaskymag.delta.com. Click on this month’s issue; it will display in a browsable edition. You can fast-forward to page 112 using the slider bar at the bottom of the page.
Or if you happen to be flying Delta, you can just grab a free copy.
Here’s just a little snip of the page, showing the picture they used of Josef and Telma.
Drs. Josef Cordero and Telma Rubinstein in Delta Sky magazine.
Not all before-and-after photos are equally dramatic, but all the work done by Drs. Cordeo and Rubinstein reflect their equal concern and care for each patient. Lisa’s smile was perhaps not so bad when she came to Prisma but her teeth were worsening and she had some chronic problems that needed correction.
The solution was a dental bridge of ten Noble Metal crowns.

Over the years, Prisma has had patients, probably from every state in the U.S. We’re trying to make sure they are all represented as we continue to add to our gallery of before and after photos.
We’re looking forward to the November issue of Delta Sky, the in-flight magazine of Delta Airlines. Prisma Dental is featured in an article about medical travel and tourism. We will post the link as soon as it is available!
Didi Carr Reuben of California has been a patient of Prisma Dental and a friend of the dentists since she first visited Costa Rica more than a dozen years ago. Her smile is not one that anyone who met her would ever forget, and literally hundreds of patients have had cosmetic surgery and dentistry in Costa Rica based on Didi relating her own experiences. She has shepherded many patients from the United States to “the Beverly Hills of Central America and works for noted cosmetic surgeon Dr. Alejandro Lev.
Besides getting her dental work done at Prisma, Didi also comes in for permanent makeup work, and this video was taken while she was having her eyebrows touched up. Didi jokes at the end about “gas” — nitrous oxide, without which, she says, she’d never sit for dental work. But patients should know that pain management is a critical part of dentistry and it is very important to Drs. Rubinstein and Cordero — and the whole staff at Prisma — that patients be as comfortable as humanly possible while under their care.
In the case of Danielle from Wayne, New Jersey, just six Empress crowns made all the difference in the world for her smile and her dental health.
Before … and After:
Though Prisma Dental specializes in full-mouth restorations, many patients can have their smile back with far less work. Because costs are significantly less for dental work in Costa Rica than in the United States or Europe, patients often find that they can save money coming to Costa Rica even for relatively minor dental work.
Prisma is increasingly seeing patients from the Caribbean islands for dental implants, crowns and resorations — so welcome if you are visiting the blog from there, and feel free to make comments and ask questions!
Prisma Dental is closed today and tomorrow for the Costa Rican Independence Day holiday, which is Sept. 15. Costa Rica has been an independent nation for 188 years.
... to Prisma Dental in San Jose, Costa Rica, where we have been privileged to deliver world-class dental care to literally thousands of patients from around the world for the past 18 years. We specialize in whole-mouth reconstruction, cosmetic and holistic general dentistry and oral surgery.
