Looks great, Tayler. I've had dental work done in Tijuana and in San Salvador. The experience in El Salvador was great. The one in TJ was mixed. But I've had similar experiences with dentists in the US. You never know what you'll get. My dad has also walked across the border into Mexico for dental cleanings. His whole neighborhood drives down together occasionally for it. He says the whole small town is dedicated to medical and dental tourism. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Dental costs are ridiculous in the US now.
I think it was around $6,000 MXN per tooth, $5,500 MXN if I paid in cash. That's around $300 per veneer. Each of my consultations were around the same price, although this one was the least expensive of the 3.
I was actually there for about 4 months (from Nov - March) and found a long term vacation style apartment for about $500/month. Prices have gone back up post-covid so it's more expensive now, but you can still find affordable options. But this was also over the winter and not during their high tourism season.
It wasn't a specific dental group, just the local expat facebook group. I just used the search function to see if there had been previous posts about dentists and there were a lot of good recommendations that I then looked up and researched.
I paid for this service with a card, not cash. I don’t generally get out a lot of cash when traveling. If I do need some, I withdraw from ATMs in the city. Then I only carry so much in my wallet & the rest keep in my room.
Yes I had the option of either form. The card charge in this case was small enough that I felt ok using it. Also because I would’ve had to do multiple atm trips b/c of daily withdraw limits & such. A card was easier & not that much more expensive in this case.

Yes, I know so many nomads who have had dental work in Mexico and had great experiences. My experience in Playa was positive.
Thank you so much for this! I'm getting ready to get some major work done there. What office did you go with? I'm super nervous
I went through Dental House Playa: dentalhouseplaya.com/
Thanks for answering about the cost in the comment section as it wasn't in the video. lol. Do you remember what's the US quote for 4 veneers?
I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was somewhere around $800-1,000/tooth. And that was back in 2017
Very nice results
I hope this isn't personal.
1. Did you replace top row with dental implants?
2. How much did everything cost?
Thank you!❤
1. No, I only did Veneers on my top 6 teeth.
2. Approx $1,800
@@TravelingTayler Hope that it all worked out, and that you feel good about yourself. 😉
Maybe I missed it, but can you disclose how much “generally” per tooth?

Was it expensive to stay have to stay there for 3wks?

Where in Mexico is Dental House?
Playa del Carmen is where I was. Although, he was in the process of opening a 2nd office in Tulum while I was there.
Nice room ! :)
Thanks! 😊
Hi what is the dental group on Facebook?
It wasn't a specific dental group, just the local expat facebook group. I just used the search function to see if there had been previous posts about dentists and there were a lot of good recommendations that I then looked up and researched.
Hi! How did you go about carrying thousands in cash while traveling?
I paid for this service with a card, not cash. I don’t generally get out a lot of cash when traveling. If I do need some, I withdraw from ATMs in the city. Then I only carry so much in my wallet & the rest keep in my room.
@@TravelingTayler ah ok. I do know that they prefer Cash and that there is also a tax charge on card. Thanks!

Whoa now I don't know that's bad
Sorry, I am sure this is great information, but if I hear Dentist, I am out the door and running down the street.
😆 sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do
@@TravelingTayler Oh, I get it, just wouldn't want to do it. Thanks.
Your background music is annoying.
Thanks for stopping by?
