Flexible Partial Dentures Jalisco

My visit to Dr Armenta’s office was in May of 2024, following a disappointing experience with my regular dentist in California. I visit Puerto Vallarta twice a year and have had my teeth cleaned at a dental office in town. So I did some extensive research about dental care in Mexico and then specifically in PV. My friend from Aspen recommended Dr. Armenta as she had been to him and was very happy. I called Dr Armenta’s office from California and made an appointment for a Monday. (I was anticipating a root canal) I arrived in PV on Sunday. My evaluation was with a wonderful dentist (not Dr Armenta, and shamefully I do not remember her name). She did an excellent job of taking my history and evaluation, including 3 X-rays. She conferred with the Endodontist and I was given an appointment on Thurs for a root Canal. At the time I was quoted 5300 pecos (Approximately $300-350 US dollars). At my Thurs appointment, I was given an extensive explanation of my situation. There was a chance I would need a tooth extraction. I was shocked and not ready for that. Options were given and we decided on the root canal. She was able to drill through my current new crown for the root canal. However, the root in that tooth had a blockage at the bifurcation. She was able to complete the root canal but requested I return in 4-6 months for a follow-up x-ray. When I checked out I was only charged 4000 pesos per the direction of the Endodontist. My credit card showed $233 for the entire 2 visits. My tooth was great for the first 2 months, but I will be calling back for an appointment to probably have my tooth extracted. As she suspected, and now so do I, the tooth under the crown is probably fractured. Originally it was a crown replacement and that is not uncommon. I am so thankful for her extensive explanation of what was happening with my crown replacement and for giving me an option. I am much more prepared for the extraction now. I will obviously be returning to Dr Armenta’s office for the procedure without any hesitation. By the way, my visit to Dr Armenta’s office in PV, including airfare, hotel, and the cost of the root canal was less money than the quoted price of an evaluation of my tooth in CA, which was $2160. And I had a wonderful week in PV and a thorough explanation of my tooth situation. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Dr. Armenta’s office.
