It's interesting that some of you don't get it. What it is, in a couple of words,.... insufficient funds. It's either give it my best shot on finding a suitable Mexican dentist/clinic, or multiple applications of Ambesol until the teeth get loose enough to put the pliers to them (then live the rest of life on soft food).
You'll hear good and bad about everything everywhere. Canadian dentists generally love to criticize many British dentistry work when they emigrate here, and we pay far more than USA rates, and when we question it they try to justify why we should get it all done here. I was quoted over C$30,000 for work I had done in Mexico over 4 years ago for a little over US$3K (at par if I recall then!), chewing a gum mint I unsecured one cap and got it reinstalled here and the dentist I used said, could have happened with anyone's install, and overall the work was very very good.
Even the plates hubby and I paid US$200/250 for over the past four years as shape of mouth has changed, for identical material here we were quoted C$1250 and C$1680 at different times.
To each their own, and wherever you go there's good and bad in all trades. Personally we couldn't justify/afford the huge difference and have been happy with Los Algondones since initial nervousness going in 2009, so 6+ years now. We asked a million questions about water used, hygiene, auto claves and were shown sealed tools before being seen too.
We are in the Happy camp FWIW.
