Periodontist Consultation Los Algodones

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.

Very happy with all the staff and the work that was done. Had a cleaning and exam to discuss what I wanted/ needed done. I had a post and crown on my front tooth which had been missing a crown for a couple years. Also had a crown put on for a missing one for an old bridge that had fallen out in the spring. I think their x-ray technique was better than I've had in U.S. I felt confident and was well informed on everything every step of the way. They wanted to be sure I was happy with the final result and I was more than pleased. I never felt pressured to have more work done but I will definitely come back in the fall for crowns and implants. I told a gentleman hawking another dental office that cheaper doesn't mean better and I research before I make a decision. I think I did well to choose this office!

So glad I did the research before my sister and I came to Algodones. We visited several dentists that was happy to promise everything in a day or two, except one, that being Smile Center, who said we needed to let things heal before proceeding to a final result. They told my sister, she only needed to replace 2 teeth, not 22 as prescribed by the other dentists including 1 in the US. We are so happy with the decision we made and the results we received. We can only thank them for their integrity, vision and skill. Hopefully, you’ll find the same to be true. Special thanks to Johanna and Francisco for managing our stay from our hotel rooms and rides to the hotel and border. Not to be forgotten are the dentists that were patient, kind and so so skilled. This experience has changed our lives. As far as pricing it was fair and considerably lower than US prices and inline with others.

I had a full upper dental implant, including extractions, bone grafts, implants, temporary dentures, and finally, permanent enamel dentures. This work was all done for 25% of the price I was quoted in the USA. My dentists and oral surgeons were outstanding, and there was always someone there to interpret when I needed it. Unlike American dentists, they actually LISTENED to me when I expressed my needs, instead of trying to talk me into something else. When I told them the local anaesthetic was wearing off, no one said "It'll just be a few more minutes..." - They just administered a new round of anaesthetic. I would wholeheartedly recommend Guadalajara Dental Clinic in Los Algadones to anyone looking for quality dental work at a reasonable price.
