U.S. Dental Costs Are Rising

Discover Why Smart Patients Are Choosing Goodness Dental in Costa Rica

As healthcare expenses in the United States continue to rise, American patients are looking beyond borders for affordable, high-quality dental care. With the U.S. government implementing sharp tariffs on dental imports—especially from China—domestic dental prices are expected to surge. At Goodness Dental in Costa Rica, patients receive world-class care at a fraction of U.S. prices, in one of the most trusted clinics in the world.

Tariffs Are Driving Up U.S. Dental Prices

The 2025 U.S. tariff schedule includes:

  • 54% tariffs on Chinese dental imports (up from 20%)
  • 32% on Taiwanese supplies26% on Indian imports24% from Japan, and 20% from the EU
  • A 10% baseline tariff on all other nations

Since China supplies 21% of dental materials to U.S. clinics—including implants, crowns, and surgical tools—these tariffs are severely disrupting supply chains. As a result, the cost of dental procedures in the U.S. is projected to increase by 15% to 30% in the next year.

A full-mouth restoration that currently costs $50,000 could soon rise to $65,000 or more.

Dental Insurance Won’t Save You

Most American dental plans cap benefits at $1,500–$2,000 per year, far short of what’s needed for advanced procedures like implants, bone grafts, or All-on-4 restorations.

At Goodness Dental, patients can often complete a full-mouth restoration for less than their U.S. deductible—without sacrificing quality or safety.
