Being that I work in the NYC fashion industry and I am surrounded by new people all of the time, I was very self-conscious of my crooked front teeth. My family has been going to Prisma and has raved about the quality of work and wonderful staff. I was so impressed with the makeover my mouth has undergone! Prisma has made my dream of a beautiful Hollywood smile come true!

Came here not knowing what to expect, and received the world with a whole new smile … I had a tooth that another dentist ignored the look of for 20 years … and Dr. Telma fixed it and made a new smile for me. I will never go anywhere else! It was well worth the trip from North Carolina and Casa Lima B&B was the best!

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.

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.

Dr. Josef Cordero, the lead implantologist at Prisma Dental, compares the advances in dental technology over the last 20 years to the advances in computer technology over the same period of time.

Prisma, especially Telma (Dr. Telma Rubinstein) is great. The equipment is state-of-the-art, the practice is very close, the on-site laboratory allowed for last-minute adjustments plus pre-fabrication evaluation. I loved the people and facility.

Zirconium crowns represent one of the latest advances in modern dentistry. They are incredibly strong and also beautiful, often an excellent choice for cosmetic dentistry.

Elizabeth, a lovely blonde woman from Tennessee, is a Prisma patient who had 14 crowns placed. Six were zirconium and eight were precious metal crowns.

Robert is a Prisma Dental patient from Florida. I’d call him “typical” except that there is nothing typical or ordinary about the dental work Robert had in Costa Rica at the hands of Drs. Cordero and Rubinstein.

Here’s Robert after placement of eight dental implants and 21 base metal crowns — a full mouth reconstruction:

Sheila Liner, an employee of Plan Benefit Services Inc. in South Carolina, had nine crowns, three root canals, deep cleaning and other dental work performed at Prisma. She estimates her total savings at $9,000 compared to having the work done at home.

One of the things that really made me relax about going to Costa Rica for dental work instead of having it done at home in Connecticut or New York was realizing that the dentists at Prisma were handling 300 or more cases like mine every year, as compared to a handful, perhaps, for my local dentist. Here’s a letter we got yesterday from Peter, a dental patient from New Hampshire. Click on his before and after photos to see larger versions.

Jill, from Washington, D.C., recently had crowns, someextractions and a dental prosthesis at Prisma Dental. She writes:
