I've read on several blogs of people going over the border for dental work, being pleased and saving lots of money. I visited a dentist in East Texas yesterday and he gave me a proposed treatment plan that includes 4 root canal therapies, and 4 porcelain crowns for a cost of $8800. I'm interested in shopping that service, while not cutting the service.

Look here: http://www.wheelingit.us/?s=dental http://www.wheelingit.us/?s=dental

We use dentist in either Algodones, near Yuma, or La Paloma, near Columbus NM. Have been very satisfied with their work and now the ONLY reason we visit an American dentist is for annual cleaning, which our employer provides for.For a comparison, here is the price list for Dr marquez the dentist we use in Algodones.

And here (forgot this blog post):http://www.wheelingit.us/2014/01/19/new-tooth-new-hat-new-rig/http://www.wheelingit.us/2014/01/19/new-tooth-new-hat-new-rig/

Here's the one the hubby and I use: Dr RubioHubby has over 20 fillings, about half were replacements for the metal fillings he got while in the service. He also had three crowns. Total was less than $2k, and this is one of the most expensive clinics in the area. We are both very satisfied with the work.

And here:http://rvnow.rvtravel.com/search/label/DentalJim has a four part series, this is number four...you can access 1-3 within this post.

If you have experience with dental work in Mexico...help me!

They are getting to be hard rock miners, the more they dig the more they want to dig. Last trip I stopped at the one I have used for years, they said I need 5 new crowns, I went down the street to another and they said all but two were fine. Hello

I have just visited the Dr. Rubio site...I'm more impressed with his site than I am the dentist who gave me an $8800 bill! Question: do they take credit cards, checks, cash?

Dr.Cesar Cabrera. At the end of the first building on the left after crossing the bridge. We have been seeing him for 6 years, and we take family and friends, too.
