Advice please-dental work in Mexico
Hi all,
Has anyone here had dental work in Mexico? I'll go easy on details, but upshot is I have a dental mess on my hands.
After multiple entries into the lottery for reduced cost care at the UNC Dental School Clinic, I was finally got in. The cost for my treatment plan, at a 50% reduction over standard costs, is $35,000.00. Please explain how anyone with a moderate income can afford that price.
I've heard great things about dental work in Mexico with costs coming in at roughly 30% including travel and lodging cost. Has anyone gone to MX for dental work? If so, can you please give me recommendations for a dentist, clinic or location? I've traveled a good bit in MX on my own, on public buses, and with lower cost lodging so I'm cool with that part. Just looking for recommendations on the dental aspect.
Sincere, much appreciated and big thanks to anyone who can help me out with information!
(In looking into this issue, lots of the information refers to "medical tourists". Frankly, I'd call us medical refugees. Damn our corporate enrichment healthcare system).

But government run health care will give us all we want and need right?? :whatever:

I understand the Mexican drug cartels have a good dental plan. You should look into that.
$35,000 to fix meth mouth.

Dear DUmbass DUchebag,
Thank Obama and the demofascists for your affordable care.
Sincerely,
The people that have had their health insurance premiums triple.

Maybe their dental plan is like their saying, "plata o plomo".

They always want the cheapest price. When THEY have to pay for it. Funny.

1. As a practicing dentist of 45 years
I can tell you that you can have excellent work done in Mexico for a fraction of the cost. The one thing that I would absolutely require if I were you, is the name brand and particulars of whatever implants are placed in you and to cross check that this device is available in the United States in case you need service upon it. Interchangeable implant components are almost nonexistent and if the brand is not easily available in the USA or has been discontinued, and you have a problem, you have a bigger problem than you can imagine. Good luck to you and I really hope things work out.
For a group who claim they “care” more than those evil conservatives, they sure skip the opportunity to demonstrate it.
The janitor/dentist could have at least offered to do the service at cost. But no, just marginal advice and well wishes. Don’t ask him to sacrifice or lift a finger. That’s what the government is for.
These leftists are all worthless, even to each other.
