Based what I have been told by multiple American dentists. If you go out of country.. And you have a problem. You have to go back.. They won’t help you.
Phil H. because they’re greedy. my god ppl actually move to and from countries
Phil H. I was told that myth too, only to eventually realize that I have never meet a dentist who said “oh I won’t take your money because another dentist did work on your teeth first”.
Phil H. oh course a dentist is not going to agree that you should go somewhere you can get great care for an actual livable price. But when it comes down to if you can find a dentist to help in emergencies money talks in this country. My dentist in Mexico trained in the US is an active member in ADA in good standing (keeps that by doing some volunteer work mainly) has an American license and partners with many practices around the country. Sure I’m a 50 minute flight from a good….like I need major work….but that’s fine I wouldn’t go to any around my crap state anyway. Not after years of being overcharged and the over judgment I received here. I’d rather not have to work till I die and with the new choppers I’d like to eat food I wasn’t able to before so this was an excellent option. Doesn’t matter what country you have the work in….unless you make prior arrangements a dentist will give you a hard time if you had the work done from another dentist even in the same area. Don’t listen to that crap.
Darci P. how would they know just don’t tell them duh

Implants on both
With the prices here in the states i didn’t have any other choice .. I haven’t gone yet but everything is set to go in the middle of June.
I am not worried at all , I understand that there dentist are taught like the USA dentist.
I also understand that they take excellent care of you while you are there.
Carol S. so very true! Counting down the days for you Carol!!!!!
Darci P. , hello … my friend
Can’t wait and it can’t come soon enough, I was telling my daughter how we

I am still chuckling.. my daughter isn’t pleased about me going .. she’s worried.
I told her what you have told me , she said oh really.. she said she couldn’t do it..
Carol S. completely understandable why she’s nervous….tell her to message me if she has any questions as well. Lol yeah we are crazy, glad you reminded me oh yeah that whole work thing lol.
I went to Perfect Smile Dental in Tijuana upper and lowers 20k
Alberta Dental in Los Algodones, Baja California Mexico. About 12k for all 4
Juan M R. for 4 teeth?
Jeanie B. sorry, I meant “all on 4”
Supreme dental. Had the bone removal top and bottom, 4 on 1 for the top 6 on the bottom, and two membranes, 20k
I went to Supreme Dental too. 9 teeth root canal’s and crowns, one partial bridge and crowns, on top bottoms extracted, bone grafts, and then 6 posts with 3 permanent bridges @16k
Anita L. so not the same
Not exactly- but shared so you could get another price comparison
Anita L. .. yes your get more price compared. I started about a year ago ,
Then I had to stop something came up.
Money used for something else..so I started again with four free consultation., about a year later..
All were very close in saying what was needed to be done , but the funds to get fixed .
They were all over the place $25,000,00
To $50,000.00
Unbelievable is what I thought , in the states these so called quotes that they give with out a blink, is so far off my ink pin page..
So that takes me out of the states..and into a different country.
I researched till I was blue In the face , found one , with a good feeling and connection..with the right pricing. I feel good about my decision.
Carol S. right on! I know it’s a whole process, but sounds like you’ve done your homework, and I wish you the best!

I went to Implant art TJ in Tijuana Mexico March 7 2021 to do All on 4 on upper teeth I was charge $5800 but I already had my top teeth extracted and my full denture plate made from my regular dentist in US that I been to for years this place was great no problems at all no pain after my implants were placed and haven’t had any trouble I’m two weeks post op from implants placement I went to regular dentist this past week for cleaning on bottom teeth and she checked my implants out and said everything looks good and I was healing good so she just needed to know what type of implants they used so if I need any parts to then she would know but other than that it’s was great go back end of July for perms but think I’m push it to end of august to give my mouth more time for implants to settle
Thanks everyone. You’ve given me a good start I’m just so ready to be healthy and the states are just way to much I was told $59,000 for top And bottom then I asked for any other options they said for 26,000 I could get the implants on the bottom and a denture for the top (which they give me for free) they would start me at $16,00 then when I need to get my perms I. Would pay the other 10,000… I
Don’t want any dentures so if I’m paying that much I’m going to Mexico for sure to
Get it done. Thanks so much everyone

Here’s the deal: Dentists aren’t going to incur their patients’ travel costs. So that’s a factor, but I have also noticed that there is often a disconnect between patient and doctor, in that the doctor fails to inform the patient well enough, and the patient fails to inform themselves, or is not open to being taught because they see the dentist as someone more interested in getting money than providing quality care. As a result, they aren’t honest and don’t ask questions they should be asking. In the end, there has been some misunderstanding construed as a mistake or just shoddy work.
It is on you to provide honest feedback to your dentist all the way through the process AND advocate for yourself. You just dropped thousands of dollars. Be the boss of this situation. They aren’t you. They can’t feel what you feel. And it becomes difficult to say when it’s time to bill you again if you leave your appointment without being sure you are satisfied, and return in need of adjustments.
So for international clients, they do try to get it right the first time, but it’s more pressure for them and higher risk for the patient. Every practice is going to do what they can to keep clients returning, but there are limits to what they can do if you are only around for two weeks and they don’t see you for several months, or maybe ever again, because you are from some other place.
That said, it’s your money, put it where you feel confident about it, and don’t let them think the job is done if you still feel wrong in your mouth. And that goes for any dental work, near or far.
Edit: oh, and I paid 16g for all-on-5 uppers w bone graft at Sani Dental in Los Algodones.
I’m planning on going to Cancun dental design in a week to do all on 5 for top and bottom. Zirconia perms In 6 mo. Around 20k total without hotel, food and flights.
Zackary B. wow that’s good
Zackary B. if you feel up to doing anything after….hit up
Coba (nexus tours did awesome! And we’ve been there several times but this was by far the best tour! And Cozumel….everything is cheap there this no cruises. And yes I felt amazing to do these things. Have a great experience. Take it easy but don’t miss out of stuff if feeling up to it!
Zackary B. same deal with better quality ( Hiossens ) can be done in Turkey for less than half
You visit smile4evermexico. I was visit the place for my full arch restoration…
