Dental Work in Tijuana
Looking for referrals for a friend who will need extensive dental work (crowns, implants, anesthesia, etc.) She will be crossing the border at TJ. Thank you.

Fact of the matter is in every profession someone graduated at the bottom of the class and got that degree by the skin of their teeth (pun time). Choosing a US dentist is just as opaque as choosing one in Mexico. You roll the dice. If that roll comes up Kraps (can't use the real word, forum software), at least in Mexico my bet is only around 20 percent of what I would lose on that bet in the US.Lwiddis wrote:

This is it. My wife is a dental hygienist and does not suggest having work done in Mexico from first hand experience dealing with some of the aftermath. That said, there are decent dentists down there and it will be important to be able to find one of them. If you know people who have had work done there and are happy with the outcome, then that would be a good place to start.
Remember though, if you end up having problems there will be no recourse. I don't think you can go to the courts for help and if your end up in serious trouble it will cost far more to get things fixed here, even if you can. I am willing to cut corners to save a buck now and then. I doubt I would want to do this with my health. Again, your chances would go up if you knew a good provider down there. But still......
