Excellent video. Just had a crown done for $400 USD and the Dentist was Harvard trained in the USA and had just returned from a continuing education program there. Stellar work!
I live in AZ. I just learned that there is a town 10 miles south of Yuma that is a dental tourist town full of well qualified and skilled dentists. Good luck, y'all!!
Fun fact, the UNAM National Autonomous University of Mexico (in English ) is the largest university in Latin American and the most important university in Mexico, the faculty of dentistry is the oldest and the most prestigious school of dentistry in Latin America, you can also study dentistry at FES Iztacala or FES Zaragoza, both of UNAM, the Faculty of dentistry also has great relationships with other universities around the world such as Loma Linda, university at buffalo or Harvard, that’s why Mexico has the same quality in dental medicine than the USA 🦷👩🏻⚕️👀
A number of years back my company recommended dentist in Via Hermosa, Mexico was supposed to speak English. SURPRISE --He did not and after we went through the translation dictionary it became obvious that I needed a crown. I authorized the procedure and the dentist approached my chair with a drill. I looked at him and said drugs, Novocain, etc. He finally understood a shot me good. Later I fund that locals did not use deadeners because if the cost. Apparently he did a good job as I still have that gold crown 25 years later.
50 years ago I had a tooth pulled when we were visiting Mexico. I got novacaine just before the tooth was pulled. Just a couple of minutes before. Wasn't numb. But it wasn't bad. We stayed in Mexico for 5 years and when I came back to the US the dentist that had worked on my grandmother's teeth when she was a teen checked me out. He said he had never seen such perfect teeth. Didn't need braces or fillings. It was because of all the fresh fruit and vegetables, the crusty bolillo rolls, pork rinds (chicharon) the sugar cane I peeled with my teeth and all the other food I ate that gave my teeth a workout. I couldn't believe how soft food was here in the US until I had my first fast food burger in the US. And I ate candy every day while living in mexico. And most of the time I forgot to brush my teeth. Within a year of being back in the US I had several cavities. And I was eating a lot less candy and brushing my teeth every day.
There are so many good dentists in Mexico. Modern practices where English is spoken if you wish. I go to a dentist in a mall, and it is cheap and very good!!
My pick is Los Algodones, which is a five minute walk from Andrade, California. That's the border crossing where California, Arizona and Mexico connect. After doing a lot of online research and sending my dental records to a half dozen dentists, I visited two dental practices in Los Algodones Feb 20-21 2024. My needs are full mouth restorations, "All On 4" upper and lower. I'll be going to the SANI Dental Group there in March for the first phase of this work. I selected them for a number of reasons. Certainly their online reputation is major, they are the largest and oldest in Los Algodones with a large staff covering every dental specialty. Other factors are the ability to have a complete package of dental specialists, the 3D imaging, the dental lab and even the hotel all (Cielito Lindo at Mediplaza) in one location at one price. My impression of SANI was a very professional, friendly, clean, well equipped place doing a large volume of patients. Even so I was seen by several dentists as my mouth, the x-rays and my history were examined. Comparing to USA estimates, the cost there will be 1/4 to 1/3 of American dentists.
@emmamullendore5682 if you get the Delta Dental private pay ultimate plan for $70 a month they will reimburse you for dental work done outside of the country also if you've had dental insurance for at least 2 years they will bump you into the year 3 of that plan which has no yearly limits & and there ultimate plan doesn't have limits on how many crowns, implants or root canals that you can have per year. In addition to that information it's also good to know that beyond asking them to email you a brochure ect ect, you can also ask them to guide you through there website, (even before you subscribe to the plan) to the place where the 16 page pdf of more detailed descriptions of that specific plans coverage and it's fine print can be found ect. It's also very important to note that there is not a no tooth clause which just means that they will still cover implants ect for teeth that were already missing before the policy started ect 😁👍J@emmamullendore5682
I had all on 4 dental implants done in Los Algodones two years ago. It has completely changed my life for the better! Do not hesitate to go to Mexico for dental work!
@@garynolan4131 it should be like $4000. USAxis just insane, but a full set of Crowns on every single tooth is 28500 in USA. Of course under $8000 in some parts of MX. I’m looking into it.
Today I was quoted a price of $70,000 for upper and lower all on 4 full mouth restoration in Knoxville TN. The same procedure was also quoted to me this evening in Cancun Mexico for $16,000 plus the cost of lodging and plane ticket. It may be slightly more then this because I may need a bone graft on the lower jaw. Definitely going to Mexico.
I just booked my trip today for Cancun Dental Specialists. American trained and certified. 20k quote here in Chattanooga TN and just under 8k there plus 1k for flight and my stay for 8 days. Now I am just worried about all the violence... ugh
Great video... I go to a dental office in Los Algodones named Simply Dental. My dentists name is Dr. Friccia Gutiérrez. She is great. I have had four teeth removed, two bone grafts, sinus lift, two implant, a root canal and crown over the last five years. Very affordable, very clean and everyone speaks great english. I have saved thousands of dollars and gotten first class care. The doctor that did my implants at Simply dental is Dr. Danilo Gaspar, it's all he does. Simply Dental also has an endodontist on staff and they have their own lab to generate crowns etc...
There is a dental college in Merida, and local high quality dentists, as I remember, will do implants for less than what the young lady quoted. Probably the same applies to dental clinics along the border also. I think one is likely to pay the most in Mexico City or Puerto Vallarta,
I’m looking to go through Dayo dental here in the United States that connects you with a dentist closest to wherever you want to travel in Mexico. I think they take a lot of seniors across the border. But I am in Florida and I’m gonna have to fly there by myself. I found this on RUclips but I’m not sure how reliable they are. I hope it’s honest .
I had a total restoration done @ this school you mentioned. 4 root canals, 5 teeth extracted and upper and lower partials. $ 532 $ USD and 8 months in 2018. Excellent work. Saludos
@Happy US $532 = total cost? 8 mths = amt of time the procedures took (or, were spread out over)? I ask about the time because I might have say 1 mth to get it (what you had) completely done. Thx in anticipation for your answer. Adios!
I'm a Canadian dentist going to Puerto Vallarta for 6 months next winter. If you need root canal, I strongly suggest to have your treatment done by a specialist (endodontist) since root canals are treatments are technically difficult to perform and require much experience.
My Canadian dentist wants to charge me 1/2 my annual salary for my root canals and crowns. Then he berates me not getting the word done right away. Do you have a solution?
@@valerievitality413 this is an accident not a malpractice. I suggest you ask your dentist at least try to remove it with ultrasounds, but chances are low your tooth will survive long term.
Guatemala Dental Group, Oscar and Rodrigo Guerra killed (paralyzed) my inferior alveolar, mental, lingual nerves in two different surgeries 7 weeks ago. The pain was excruciating, I spent $1500 to have their implants removed and materials attempting to reverse the numbness and all the functions associated. I am a dentist of 50 years. If they would carelessly do that to a DENTIST, imagine...YOU?
In India RCT cost is between 40 to 200 USD … and for 100+ USD i swear to god the quality is top notch. One of my uncle who stays in Texas did his RCT there while he went to India for vacation
Timing is perfect, I need some dental work soon, last week got the shocking co$t of the work suggested in So. Cal. I'm strongly motivated to change my living situation. Been looking at videos and studying Spanish for about 3 years. Convergence of events and unhappy relationships with a couple of young types I rent my extra rooms to have me on the edge of moving on soon.
Always very professional work with the camera and audio, I wanna go there to get implants the doctor very informative with the essential questions that you would ask.
Thomas Paine, Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Dr. Karla M. Figueroa DDS, is very well educated. She comes from a multi-generation family of dentists and has great training. If I need implants, that is where I'm going since that is her specialty.
Excellent video. I am having my work done in Michigan, only because I have excellent insurance through my retirement. Otherwise, I would have opt for getting services done in Mexico. They have a much better bedside manner.
I am in Mexico City now for dental. I am just getting started and so far it has been a rewarding experience. I am very pleased with the work so far. And of course the prices are much, much better than the US
Smile Clinic on Medellin 153 I am so happy i went. The other comment that medicare covered their dental work? I find that amazing because i am a senior citizen and i can't imagine how they got that coverage. I am entitled to medicare but it covers close to nothing. This was an emergency. I had suffered 2 terrible infections and knew the danger i was in. I am so grateful for the incredible work i received for a truly reasonable fee. I plan to go back next May and taking friends with me who also need the help. Best of health to you.
@@emmamullendore5682 Smile dental clinic on 153 Medelin. I was there last May. I can't say enough good things about them. I want to go back again this year for a bit more work. The cost was around 4000. It was a fraction of the cost of what it would be in the states
From my research those numbers are all on the very high end like Los Angeles and New York dentists and comparable high costs in Mexico. Getting multiple referrals is most important. You can get quality work for substantially less than what she is quoting. But don't take my word. I suggest talking with other Americans who have gone or live there. Also I would highly recommend avoiding practices like the female dentist being interested and promoted in this video. A practice whose specialty is dental tourism is going to focus on foreigners as customers. Without listing all the redflags that invokes with me do your research. If it makes sense to you then you have been cautioned good luck. For me I want a dentist that specializes in good dentistry with no regard if you are from another country or local.
I currently rely on upper and lower dentures, but they're extremely uncomfortable and I'd love to explore other options. Dental implants have always been my dream, but the cost in the US is prohibitive. I've researched options in Mexico, but unfortunately, the prices haven't been significantly lower than what I've found here. If your office could offer a more affordable solution for dental implants, I would be very interested in discussing the possibility of treatment with you.
I was in an accident a several years ago that caused me to lose my bottom front tooth. It cost me $5000 to have my own tooth shoved back into the socket and bonded to the teeth beside it. A few years ago the tooth came out when I’ve bit into something. No my dentist is telling me I need $10,100 of work done. My smile has prevented me from dating in my prime in my 30s and now injuring my 40s it’s preventing me from getting the work that I deserve because of my smile. I don’t have $10,000 laying around and I’m looking to go to Mexico to get the work done. I just need to find a Decent dental clinic in Mexico that’s the closest to Florida.
Make sure you research the dentist before getting anything done. There are several van life RUclipsrs who have posted horror stories about using dentists who were right across the border where you're going. I'm not trying to disparage Mexican dentists. You get bad ones sometimes regardless of where you go. These people went for cleanings, fillings, implants and dentures. None of them had a positive experience. They got infections, were not prescribed anything for pain, the implants failed. They were out the money that they spent, plus had to pay a dentist in the states to fix all of the problems. Chances are, if you see a dentist in Mexico that is recommended by the local people, you should be okay. If you just see some random dentist who practices in the border towns, you probably won't be okay.
America has rude staffs overpriced and just because it says America people are supposed to think that equals perfection sorry not true half of Americans teeth are falling out because of the prices and poor work . they pulled 2 of my teeth that could of been saved but I couldn't afford to save them here. Im out of here when it comes to dental. Just trying to determine where to go is next on my list

I have never been to Mexico, is a passport needed? Is a vaccination required? And how would I pay? Do they take charge cards? or would I have to bring cash and exchange it where?
Passport required to return through USCIS, although some say license and birth certificate is good enough. Vacs not necessary. Call clinics to find payment options.
My dentist charges $1000 for it Delta Dental allowed $775, I was charged $75. In Huntington Woods, MI, outside of Detroit. No problems with infection months later, he is a very good and thorough dentist.

I need to getmy dentures put in permanently. I've looked up many dental offices that do that in Mexico but I have no clue who to go to. Any tips or ideas would be awesome! Thanks
Any good dentists in Cancun?? I’ve always wanted to go there to the beautiful beaches!!! I was diagnosed with gum disease, and I’d like to get laser treatment. Here in the U.S is $5,000 with insurance😟😂!!!
@@djkenny1202 Thanks, I was quoted by oral surgeon $10k for the 5 anchors, and $9 k from the dentist for the abutment and 5 crowns. 19k total. Gonna try Molar city.
@@sociologynut8033 definitelyz!! I chose 6 crowns in porcelain to start. It would be a solid $350 each in most of molar city-about $2200 ish. With insurance, my out of pocket is about the same. I had to find a dentist willing to do a section a time so my insurance covered maximum. Next year I finish my bottom 4 teeth in need, about $900 out if pocket, then the remaining top teeth next to those 6 (3crowns, each side on top already done). It’ll be another 1500 bucks likely.
What about a gold crown, would that work, or would that be too soft? Plus I could yank it out when I real old and broke to be able to buy food in the future
Car Ric, Personally I have a travel/medical insurance policy. It covers a dental emergency but not any general work like cavities or cosmetic procedures.

I went to Dr. Mexico Feb 11 2022... In Tijuana. The blue line trolley in San Diego takes you to the border. They pic you up literally across the street. 20 . First visit. I got two teeth pulled same day 75 each. Then... they have 15 percent off. I paid 147 to have two back teeth pulled. .. I guy stitches... listen to me guys... it's been over a week... if she didn't show me my teeth in a cup......I wouldn't believe she pulled them lol. No pain. No swelling. The meds are cheap and work Hella fast... you'll get them from the pharmacy they pick you up at..... going for a full mouth treatment... so I have a few more visits to make. Dr México... call. Speak to Hilda...
Yes I did this in 2020. I ended up with a massive infection and disfigured. Name of the dentist was Lopes in Algodones. The bridge fell out after one and a half years and now I am going to try my luck with a 2nd dentist in the same city. Fingers crossed. I had 5 front upper teeth crowned in Thailand. They all fell out. Unfortunately I just have to roll with this. I just can't afford the dentists in America. So I go to Mexico even though I know I am rolling the dice. My story is quite common. Sorry but dentists in Mexico are just not as good as American dentists. You just have to hope you get lucky and find someone who isn't ruthless. Often they hope you will blow away when things go wrong. It is a crapshoot.
@@emmamullendore5682 Yes I have also had problems with American dentists. Everything from yanking an implant out of the bone to splitting a tooth vertically. The problem with Algodones is that the word is out that a neverending stream of American dollars are availble if you call yourself a dentist and set up shop. The latest dentist I have found there seems to have done a good job on an upper, 3 tooth bridge rght at the front. So they are there if you search. This latest guy has a huge practise and is right by the border crossing. He doesn't even advertise on Google Mpas. I don't think he needs to.
This is Dentist work. The wheel has been invented that is the reason why is inexpensive. I was down there last month and I paid $20 US for an emergency visit in a very nice hospital and good doctor. They explained what was the issue, why they perspired the medicine. All to very close details.
No doctors name, license number, phone number or email, no street address. no map to show location. No government number to verify doctors license. I would love to go, but need so much more info.
and this video they talked about dental implant. if I travel from the United States to Mexico to have a couple dental implants how long would I have to stay in Mexico for the procedure. anybody can answer this question that would be helpful?
Brazil is even better . World's best dentists In Sao Paulo and Rio. Never got to an American doctor in the USA - just a waste of money and low standards
Dental hygienist here. The most important aspect is infection control. People try to save a few bucks and risk infections. They get poor work to then have to have the work repeated a couple of years down the line. A periodontic deep cleaning is different from a propholactic teeth cleaning. I'm not saying there aren't good dentist outside the U.S, but you don't want to know the poor dentisty I've seen done in other countries using inferior hardware. How do you know instruments are getting correctly sterilized and the training received? One failed sterilized drill bit or scaler and you may be exposed to something you weren't counting on.
The same thing you are suggesting in your comment can be applied to dentists in the United States. In the case of Mexico, rarely does someone other than a doctor touch your mouth, even if it is for a simple cleaning or whitening. Pay thousands of dollars so that you end up being treated by someone who is not even a doctor.
I think she over price the price in usa.i did 2 implant in Tn1500 dollars. This video is comercial to get discount from mexican dentiste. The real discount quality turky tailand ect Better price better experience
Delta Dental just came out with a new policy here in the states that everyone is getting. Wait a year and they handle the implant, crown, and follow up for the same price as Mexico. For once I'd like to think about dental care without thinking about entering war torn Mexico!

Malaysia and Thailand are also both popular for medical tourism.
India is good too. Columbia and Brazil would be really good for plastic surgery. 😀
Guatemala Dental Group, Oscar and Rodrigo Guerra killed (paralyzed) my inferior alveolar, mental, lingual nerves in two different surgeries 7 weeks ago. The pain was excruciating, I spent $1500 to have their implants removed and materials attempting to reverse the numbness and all the functions associated. I am a dentist of 50 years. If they would carelessly do that to a DENTIST, imagine...YOU?
Best dental service I’ve ever had…period
Can you please tell me more information where did you get your work done it in Tijuana?
In India RCT cost is between 40 to 200 USD … and for 100+ USD i swear to god the quality is top notch. One of my uncle who stays in Texas did his RCT there while he went to India for vacation
Timing is perfect, I need some dental work soon, last week got the shocking co$t of the work suggested in So. Cal. I'm strongly motivated to change my living situation. Been looking at videos and studying Spanish for about 3 years. Convergence of events and unhappy relationships with a couple of young types I rent my extra rooms to have me on the edge of moving on soon.
Always very professional work with the camera and audio, I wanna go there to get implants the doctor very informative with the essential questions that you would ask.
Thomas Paine, Thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Dr. Karla M. Figueroa DDS, is very well educated. She comes from a multi-generation family of dentists and has great training. If I need implants, that is where I'm going since that is her specialty.
Very professional camera work and presentation. Thank-you.
Valerie Donovan, Thank you.
Excellent video. I am having my work done in Michigan, only because I have excellent insurance through my retirement. Otherwise, I would have opt for getting services done in Mexico. They have a much better bedside manner.
I am in Mexico City now for dental. I am just getting started and so far it has been a rewarding experience. I am very pleased with the work so far. And of course the prices are much, much better than the US
Do you have the name of the dental office in Mexico City you recommend? I’m currently looking at a few offices
Not really my Medicare & extra help I have in the US covers everything!!!
Smile Clinic on Medellin 153
I am so happy i went. The other comment that medicare covered their dental work? I find that amazing because i am a senior citizen and i can't imagine how they got that coverage. I am entitled to medicare but it covers close to nothing. This was an emergency. I had suffered 2 terrible infections and knew the danger i was in. I am so grateful for the incredible work i received for a truly reasonable fee. I plan to go back next May and taking friends with me who also need the help.
Best of health to you.
@@maureenharrison6170 what was your cost if you don’t mind and how long to get an appointment?
@@emmamullendore5682 Smile dental clinic on 153 Medelin.
I was there last May. I can't say enough good things about them.
I want to go back again this year for a bit more work.
The cost was around 4000.
It was a fraction of the cost of what it would be in the states
Hey man you are the best for this video. Not much advice out here for someone trying to save money from the ludicrous dental prices in the US
From my research those numbers are all on the very high end like Los Angeles and New York dentists and comparable high costs in Mexico. Getting multiple referrals is most important. You can get quality work for substantially less than what she is quoting. But don't take my word. I suggest talking with other Americans who have gone or live there. Also I would highly recommend avoiding practices like the female dentist being interested and promoted in this video. A practice whose specialty is dental tourism is going to focus on foreigners as customers. Without listing all the redflags that invokes with me do your research. If it makes sense to you then you have been cautioned good luck. For me I want a dentist that specializes in good dentistry with no regard if you are from another country or local.
I currently rely on upper and lower dentures, but they're extremely uncomfortable and I'd love to explore other options. Dental implants have always been my dream, but the cost in the US is prohibitive. I've researched options in Mexico, but unfortunately, the prices haven't been significantly lower than what I've found here. If your office could offer a more affordable solution for dental implants, I would be very interested in discussing the possibility of treatment with you.
I was in an accident a several years ago that caused me to lose my bottom front tooth. It cost me $5000 to have my own tooth shoved back into the socket and bonded to the teeth beside it. A few years ago the tooth came out when I’ve bit into something. No my dentist is telling me I need $10,100 of work done. My smile has prevented me from dating in my prime in my 30s and now injuring my 40s it’s preventing me from getting the work that I deserve because of my smile. I don’t have $10,000 laying around and I’m looking to go to Mexico to get the work done. I just need to find a Decent dental clinic in Mexico that’s the closest to Florida.
One implant in MX is like $750. Fuck that Dentist.
My dad got all 4 vaneers for approx $2000 in Mexico. In the US 🇺🇸 they want that price for just one. He is now 78 and lookin good! 💯😬😁
Magdalena Villaseñor Martinez, Thanks for sharing your Dad's experience.
Hello could you please share what clinic he got them done at?
I live in San Antonio and am planning on visiting Piedras Negras - 3 hr drive - for a dental checkup. Any recommendations? TIA.
Make sure you research the dentist before getting anything done. There are several van life RUclipsrs who have posted horror stories about using dentists who were right across the border where you're going. I'm not trying to disparage Mexican dentists. You get bad ones sometimes regardless of where you go. These people went for cleanings, fillings, implants and dentures. None of them had a positive experience. They got infections, were not prescribed anything for pain, the implants failed. They were out the money that they spent, plus had to pay a dentist in the states to fix all of the problems. Chances are, if you see a dentist in Mexico that is recommended by the local people, you should be okay. If you just see some random dentist who practices in the border towns, you probably won't be okay.
Did you go?
Always choose a good or the best dentists in mex.!!! Cause they have millions of offices there, and some not so good!

Hi it's my 1st time hear which school can I come and study Dental Therapy BSC or PGD in Mexico
Your looking great and your videos keep getting better!
Thank you!
Sani dental treated me very well. Great results
Same here. I went to their new Cancun location in 2024.
Great prices in mexico , unless you wanna get ripped off never do anything in USA
America has rude staffs overpriced and just because it says America people are supposed to think that equals perfection sorry not true half of Americans teeth are falling out because of the prices and poor work . they pulled 2 of my teeth that could of been saved but I couldn't afford to save them here. Im out of here when it comes to dental. Just trying to determine where to go is next on my list
Los Algodones is where you are going if you're smart. If it is close enough and you can afford the travel.
Awwwww go wherever

Wow that's a bit priced. I pay 250 per crown here in US with hmo plan. I only pay 90 dollars for dental and health company insurance.
Wow! Who is your insurance company?
My good insurance will not cover over $275 of 20k in work. Does yours cover full caps?

Do you know any dental clinic near Texas ? Thank you so much! I has been scammed by a lot of crooked dentists in US.
do you do zirconian implants? with a zirconian post? I would like a holistic dentist.
I have never been to Mexico, is a passport needed? Is a vaccination required? And how would I pay? Do they take charge cards? or would I have to bring cash and exchange it where?
Passport required to return through USCIS, although some say license and birth certificate is good enough. Vacs not necessary. Call clinics to find payment options.
@@sociologynut8033 Thanks for the info 👍
Can you guys refer me to someone that you have personally went to in Mexican and had a good experience
I saved tons of doe in mex
With extracts, dentures, etc.!!! PLUS a vacation 2 mex. city!! And still SAVED!!!!
Gary. Young, Thanks for sharing your experience.
Someone said it is almost 1,000 dollars in Canada two years ago for a root canal
Fuck it
My dentist charges $1000 for it Delta Dental allowed $775, I was charged $75. In Huntington Woods, MI, outside of Detroit. No problems with infection months later, he is a very good and thorough dentist.
@Sociology Your comment totally confuses me. Pls re-write: I can't figure out what the charges were for and by whom. Thx, & blessings.

CDS Cancun Dental Specialist
I found it more expensive than TJ and Molar City
@@djkenny1202 Thanks, I was quoted by oral surgeon $10k for the 5 anchors, and $9 k from the dentist for the abutment and 5 crowns. 19k total. Gonna try Molar city.
@@sociologynut8033 definitelyz!! I chose 6 crowns in porcelain to start. It would be a solid $350 each in most of molar city-about $2200 ish. With insurance, my out of pocket is about the same. I had to find a dentist willing to do a section a time so my insurance covered maximum. Next year I finish my bottom 4 teeth in need, about $900 out if pocket, then the remaining top teeth next to those 6 (3crowns, each side on top already done). It’ll be another 1500 bucks likely.
How much is teeth cleaning in PV?
really good video I went to A1 Smile Design in Playa they are great
Thank you
D Walker, Thanks for supporting the channel!.
So how wide the range of care? From awful to really good?
What about a gold crown, would that work, or would that be too soft? Plus I could yank it out when I real old and broke to be able to buy food in the future
Dumb question maybe but you have health insurance right? Do you keep American or get a policy in Mexico.
Car Ric, Personally I have a travel/medical insurance policy. It covers a dental emergency but not any general work like cavities or cosmetic procedures. My insurance is worldwide except in the USA and cost me about $100 USD per month. Here is a video that has a lot of information about insurance: ruclips.net/video/y7zoQuyFlqU/видео.html

I went to Dr. Mexico Feb 11 2022... In Tijuana. The blue line trolley in San Diego takes you to the border. They pic you up literally across the street. 20 . First visit. I got two teeth pulled same day 75 each. Then... they have 15 percent off. I paid 147 to have two back teeth pulled. .. I guy stitches... listen to me guys... it's been over a week... if she didn't show me my teeth in a cup......I wouldn't believe she pulled them lol. No pain. No swelling. The meds are cheap and work Hella fast... you'll get them from the pharmacy they pick you up at..... going for a full mouth treatment... so I have a few more visits to make. Dr México... call. Speak to Hilda...
Are you a real person?
@@justcallmeray21 I'm waiting for an answer too.
You sounds like a mess. I would not take your advice on a car wash.

Has Anyone on this comment group gone to get procedures done in Tampico Mexico? Could use some helpful feedback, thanks.
Do these dentists except any kind of insurance?
Avoid Dental Express in Ajjic
Yes I did this in 2020. I ended up with a massive infection and disfigured. Name of the dentist was Lopes in Algodones. The bridge fell out after one and a half years and now I am going to try my luck with a 2nd dentist in the same city. Fingers crossed. I had 5 front upper teeth crowned in Thailand. They all fell out.
Unfortunately I just have to roll with this. I just can't afford the dentists in America. So I go to Mexico even though I know I am rolling the dice. My story is quite common. Sorry but dentists in Mexico are just not as good as American dentists. You just have to hope you get lucky and find someone who isn't ruthless. Often they hope you will blow away when things go wrong.
It is a crapshoot.
I’ve paid for and lost two crowns that were done in the US as well as a veneer that broke with in a month.
@@emmamullendore5682 Yes I have also had problems with American dentists. Everything from yanking an implant out of the bone to splitting a tooth vertically. The problem with Algodones is that the word is out that a neverending stream of American dollars are availble if you call yourself a dentist and set up shop. The latest dentist I have found there seems to have done a good job on an upper, 3 tooth bridge rght at the front. So they are there if you search. This latest guy has a huge practise and is right by the border crossing. He doesn't even advertise on Google Mpas. I don't think he needs to.
This is Dentist work. The wheel has been invented that is the reason why is inexpensive. I was down there last month and I paid $20 US for an emergency visit in a very nice hospital and good doctor. They explained what was the issue, why they perspired the medicine. All to very close details.
No doctors name, license number, phone number or email, no street address. no map to show location. No government number to verify doctors license. I would love to go, but need so much more info.
Hola Karla
and this video they talked about dental implant. if I travel from the United States to Mexico to have a couple dental implants how long would I have to stay in Mexico for the procedure. anybody can answer this question that would be helpful?
GENE N., You can contact Dr. Carla directly and ask her. Her information is in the description.
How can I contact you I want to make teeth from Tajikistan😊
Brazil is even better . World's best dentists In Sao Paulo and Rio. Never got to an American doctor in the USA - just a waste of money and low standards
Dentistry in Brazil really is of high level
Can you recommend a dentist or two in Sao and Rio? Hopefully they have got English speaking dentists.
colombia is even cheaper, i paid 1500 usd for a implant and 100 usd for a root canal lol
Can you please list contact information?

We wouldn't need to seek dentistry in Mexico if greed didn't overtake US Dentists.
I need a full mouth implant I need to know the cost and the best dentist
Dental implants on St.Croix U.S.V.I 800.00 Daaaaa
Everything in USA is overpriced
I think 1month vacations to cover 32 teeths..
Dental hygienist here. The most important aspect is infection control. People try to save a few bucks and risk infections. They get poor work to then have to have the work repeated a couple of years down the line. A periodontic deep cleaning is different from a propholactic teeth cleaning. I'm not saying there aren't good dentist outside the U.S, but you don't want to know the poor dentisty I've seen done in other countries using inferior hardware. How do you know instruments are getting correctly sterilized and the training received? One failed sterilized drill bit or scaler and you may be exposed to something you weren't counting on.
How do you know they are sterilizing there equipment here ? Why because the name America comes with the overpriced bill?
The same thing you are suggesting in your comment can be applied to dentists in the United States. In the case of Mexico, rarely does someone other than a doctor touch your mouth, even if it is for a simple cleaning or whitening. Pay thousands of dollars so that you end up being treated by someone who is not even a doctor.
How does this apply to seeking affordable dental care?
In Mexico dental hygienists do not exist, no room for such positions. Even dental assistants are dentists.
I think she over price the price in usa.i did 2 implant in Tn1500 dollars.
This video is comercial to get discount from mexican dentiste.
The real discount quality turky tailand ect
Better price better experience
No thank you I get free cleanings & exams here in the US.
That's excellent! Is she also single? Hehehe!
Speeks English well????
Delta Dental just came out with a new policy here in the states that everyone is getting. Wait a year and they handle the implant, crown, and follow up for the same price as Mexico. For once I'd like to think about dental care without thinking about entering war torn Mexico!
Delta is an HMO. Most dentists in the US do not accept HMO plans.
Can you give me some more info contact no . I need a full mouth inplant
