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.

- Hope She understands it’s not risk free!!!
Working in the Dental Industry many years from behind the scenes there is no way I would risk my life to save a few $$$. - You pays your money, you takes your chances.

As ridiculously costly any type of healthcare is in the states especially when most people don't have dental insurance you cannot blame them for looking for alternatives.

I would recommend going to the WallMart Dental Dept. Before I would go to TJ.- A Medicare supplement plan with dental may still be available for the lady.
So, Dan, how are you helping to fix the “ridiculously costly any type of healthcare is in the states?” - check out www.early-retirement.org folks. They are going to be a lot more helpful AND sympathetic to your questions.

Actually, I believe he is and more effectively than any legislation could. If enough people go elsewhere, the US market will get the message.- I've been avoiding getting a tooth replaced that was pulled early this year due to cost. Now that I need another pulled I would consider going to MX to get them both taken care of, guessing around $6k. I would opt for something like Walmart if such existed in my neck of the woods, first I've heard of it.
- Hope you guys don't mind if I post some relevant information that could actually help the OP. I haven't been to Tijuana but have been to Los Algodones a few times for dental and have been much more pleased with the dentists there than any local dentists I've been to over the decades. It ain't just about money!
