    Im Canadian,

    My dad and I went to Costa Rica and he got some dental work done there..
    Good quality, Great price. Fabulous vacation!

    Costa Rica is not Mexico.

    Why does everyone think so poorly of Mexicans? The underlying racism here is quite alarming. It's barely a notch above claiming Mexicans piss in their beers.

    SHUT UP!

    NEVER, I repeat, NEVER go to Mexico for any medical/dental procedure. There is a reason they are cheaper. They have less restrictions and lax health codes...Infection is the #1 cause of death after having procedures done there....Please reconsider an seek a second dental opinion.

    THIS!

    I won't go for dental work, but the prostitutes are fantastic there!
    Can't beat the price!

    And after you're done, you can by any antibiotics you need at one of the nearby pharmacies!

    They don't just dole out meds anymore. You now need a prescription.

    And you can get the prescription at the pharmacy via an over-the-counter exam for an extra $3 USD.

    I would never in a million years go to a foreign country for cheaper dental work or any medical procedure.

    Find a low cost clinic in your area.

    I'm actually planning to go to Mexico to get some dental work myself. It'll be a short drive from Cali to Mexico (So gas money) to get my stuff handled, maybe crashing overnight on the US side of the border, and then a short jaunt back to Cali. Bing bang boom, dental work for 1/3 of the price.

    I mean. If I'm displeased I can go and get it redone 2 more times before it was no longer cost effective.

    I have gone to puerto vallarta the past few years for dental work.
    I've received 3 crowns a root canal a filling and numerous cleanings
    The office is clean safe and the dentist is very knowledgable and the price is fantastic

    GREAT DENTAL PLANS!! for you OR your family!! 30 to choose from. Aetna, Cigna, Careington etc just put in your zip code. Incredibly inexpensive plans!
    The other night on the news was a story about a FREE dental service that comes around every TWO years for a WEEKEND.
    People were lined up at 6 am the DAY BEFORE!!

    Interviewees said I CANT AFFORD DENTAL!!

    One woman said just to get ONE tooth pulled was gong to be $145!! Said she cant afford that!!

    Just have to live with bad teeth!! DONT DO THAT At least check it out first. No deductibles to meet NO limits on the amount of coverages you receive like most dental plans offer $1000 of coverage A YEAR...What if what you need done is $2000?

    Yes, there are some unscrupulous medical practitioners abroad but not only in Mexico, you can find it also in US or in any Western countries. I've been having my dental treatment in Mexico for some years now, and I haven't experience anything wrong from that country. Many Mexican dentists went to the same American schools as U.S. dentists attended, and are every bit as well qualified and capable. Mexico wouldn't be popular for dental tourist if all the dentist are not good. Patients are driven by the affordable costs, and satisfying results.

    Before it was also daring for me also to go overseas for dental work, as it was my first time to have have medical care outside US, but I just can't afford the skyrocketing cost of dental treatment back at home. I did my research well and I was assisted by a medical tourism provider located in CO called PlacidWay who have arranged everything for me. Anyway I'm very grumpy about dentistry but the implant has been a success and I'm glad I had it done in Mexico, save me a lot of money.
