1. Affordable Dental Care in Los Algodones, Mexico
What to Expect of Mexican DentistsClean, sanitary and comfortable offices.Although not luxuriously
furnished, offices are comfortable and clean. Autoclave sterilization and sanitation procedures meet
western standards and equipment is up-to-date.Highly qualified dentists. Mexico takes pride in its
Dental Colleges. Algodones dentists are educated in Mexico or the U.S., Many receive additional
training in the United States and belong to the American Dental Association as well as being
certified by the Mexican government.Full range of services. Dentists in Algodones do any kind of
dental work that U.S. dentists do including dental implants, bridges, root canals, simple fillings,
dentures and extractions.English speaking dentists and staff. Most of the dentists speak English,
some speak it better than others. There are always people in the office who are fluent in English to
help explain anything that you might not understand, or to help translate your questions to the
dentist.Quick scheduling and completion of procedures. Generally, as much work as possible is done
at one time to accommodate people who will only be in the area for a limited time.Specialists called
for more complex work. If you will have complicated work done like root canals, a specialist is called
in and usually you will need to make an appointment. Most work is done with a local anesthetic. If
you prefer to be put to sleep, Mexican law requires that an anesthesiologist (M.D.) do it and that is
an added cost to your dental procedure. Of course, it is an added cost in the United States too.
During one three-hour visit, I had three root canals and prep work done for several crowns. While it
was a long visit sitting in a dentists chair, it was a relief to have so much done at once. On my next
visit a few days later, the permanent crowns were installed and work on seven teeth was completed.
Claims Against Dental Insurance Honored
One interesting thing to note is that we met several people at our dentist's office who had dental
insurance, but came to Mexico for their dental work because their portion of the cost of dental care
was still unaffordable. Having work done in Mexico, they could still make a claim against their
insurance, but the amount they payed out of pocket was reduced drastically.
Patients Come From All Over the U.S. and Canada
Another thing that http://outofoez.livejournal.com/1969.html surprised us was the distance that
people traveled to have dental work done in Algodones. In our dentist's waiting room we met people
from Utah, Oregon, California, South Carolina and Colorado as well as several couples from Canada.
Dental Care in Algodones a Positive Experience
My husband and I both had extensive work done and have been happy with it so far. Now, two years
later, we go back annually for our check-ups. We were assured at the time the work was done that it
would be guaranteed, and, in fact, met a few people who did come back to have adjustments or
something repaired. This work was done free of charge.
Overall, we had a good experience with our dental care in Mexico. Our dentists and their staff were
friendly, professional and very kind and thoughtful. Have you ever been to a dentist before who gave
you a hug when you left?

restaurants that we missed on our last visit. In fact, we may be getting our new eyeglasses on our
next visit!
