Temporary Bridge Los Algodones

I recently spent 4 days in Los Algodones getting dental work from Dra Mayra Jimenez and Reny Dental. It was a great experience and I now have a full lower set of teeth, something I haven't had in decades. The practice is very professionally run, I would say to the same standards you would find in the US, super clean and with all the latest equipment and techniques. The staff all speaks English, which is important, if, like me, you can only speak a couple of words in Spanish. I am a very nervous patient, been putting the work off for years but Dra Mayra has a very calm and reassuring manner that went a long way towards keeping any anxiety down, she is also a perfectionist. I can't say that the procedures were painless, 7 root canals takes it out of you! but I was given sedatives and many shots of Novocain. The Town itself is an Interesting colourful place, lots of Hawkers selling all sorts of stuff but very safe. We stayed at the Cielito Lindo hotel, booking through Reny Dental gets a substantial discount, depending on how much work you get. In my case, I got 50% off the Hotel Bill. Overall, I am very happy with the work done. The doctor told me It could be up to a month for the pain to settle and at the 2-week mark, it has mostly gone. Getting used to new teeth and no partial denture has been a new experience. The price I paid for all my work was very reasonable, I would say around 35% of what I would have paid here in Salt Lake. Also, my smile is greatly improved, not the main reason I got the work done but I'll take the Movie Star teeth! I highly recommend using Reny Dental and will return to do my top teeth sometime in the future.

There are over 500 dentists to choose from in ALGODONES. I price checked and interviewed many. I chose Rancherito Dental because of their customer service. I felt like a person rather than a number. They greet us by name, and have specialists they call in for our dental needs if needed. I had all my teeth extracted and one on 6 implants placed for permanent dentures or whatever they are called. My husband has had fillings, root canals, crowns, implants and a bridge.

I posted this on Facebook to share with my friends. It will serve well as my review of Fine Quality Dental. I'm currently in Yuma, AZ for the winter. I had a fractured tooth pulled in October by my dentist in Dansville, NY. She told me a three-unit bridge (1 full pontic and 2 anchor crowns) would cost a little over $3000. I declined because I knew I could have it done in Los Algodones, Mexico, a 15-minute drive from Yuma, for much less. Today I had new porcelain fused to a metal permanent bridge installed on my third visit to Fine Quality Dental. The first was an initial consultation/exam and the second was the prep work. My experience with Dr Charles Zuman and his assistants was excellent from beginning to end. I researched his and other clinics in detail prior to selecting him. The bridge and procedure are as good as could be obtained in the US. Its total cost was $750. If Dr Zuman practised in my home area I would switch to him as my dentist even if he charged American prices for regular services. If any of you are facing expensive dental work there are places outside the US where you can get equal quality work for less than a third of the cost.

My daughter and I just got back from staying 10 nights in Los Algodones. We had a lot of work done at Castle Dental, and it all went extremely well! My daughter had all four of her wisdom teeth pulled, some root canals, and cavities filled. I had several root canals, some teeth pulled, bone grafting, a partial made, a bridge, and about 15 crowns! Emmanuel Perez is my favourite and he did an incredible job. He worked so hard on my teeth which was not an easy job! We both are very happy with the results and we will be returning soon for my son to also get some work done. This would have cost us at least 3 times more here in the US. Very thankful!! They keep you informed well with the price for everything before the work is done. Dentists in the US would have forced me to get implants. But Castle Dental agreed a bridge would work just fine, and this enabled me to afford to get all the rest of the work I so badly wanted done. That was huge, good news for me! The receptionist in the clinic was so nice she literally walked us to a grocery store to show us where it was. Thank you, Mariana! This area of the border is legalized and very safe to cross. All of Algodones is very safe. We walked the streets at night with our groceries and I felt safer than I do in our own town. Los Algodones is just right over the border from Arizona and California. We stayed at California Comfort Suites. It's not the best hotel, but it's not bad either, and the price is amazing. Our bill was $900.00 for 10 nights in a 2 bedroom condo with a little kitchen. So can't complain! I highly recommend Castle Dental, I only wish I hadn't put it off for so long. It's cheaper yet higher quality, and they are honest when diagnosing. A nice change from the greedy dentists in the US!

Love this place. Dentists are knowledgeable and they all have good dense of humor. I will come back.
