Dental work while in MX



Recommended Posts

Hey guys... Heading to Mexico March 22 to be sleeved with Garcia and understand there is a dentist... Anyone used these services and if so, is it a good/clean place to go, is the work good, is it that much less expensive and what type of things did you have done?!

Thanks

I would really not recommend getting dental work in Mexico. I am a dentist and I may be partial but I have seen really poor work from Mexico. Good luck with your surgery!!!

I've gone to Dental Bernal in Los Algodones four times, beginning in 2006. Among the extractions, crowns, root canal, sinus boost, I also have six implants.

No problems with any of the work.

The only people I've ever heard say anything negative about dental work in Mexico are Americans who've never gone or American dentists (except for MY American dentist).

The trick is to get references.

I wrote a journal (30 pages) during my first trip. If you want a copy, PM me or send an email to my yahoo address.

Best wishes,

SuzanneFromSeattle

I've been to Mexico many times for dental work. Depending on what you are having done you can save between 50-75% compared to American dentists. Do your research, and check their reviews. Chances are since you are having it arranged by a coordinator, you'll be paying more than locals will, but you will still save a lot.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
