They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent jobDon, US, 16 09 24In August of 2024, my husband decided he wanted to get dentures. This was because he has had dental problems for some time and does not like to go to the dentist. He will soon be 89 years old and decided if it was going to happen he had better get it done.
I did a lot of research on dentures, crowns and implants. It all seemed very expensive. I then researched the dental facilities in Mexico. I read a lot of reviews, went on various websites and compared different clinics and dentists. After much discussion, we decided to use MARIETTA DENTAL CARE in Algodones, Mexico. We made a very good choice!
When I called the office, I spoke with Luis Padilla, the patient coordinator. He was very cordial and set up an appointment for an evaluation. Their driver met us as we came into Mexico and took us to the clinic. At the office, we found it to be very clean and modern. We were warmly greeted by the receptionist, Jesus, who offered us coffee, soda or water while we waited for our appointment.
At the appointment, the dentist who worked with my husband was Dr. Leslie Carrasco. She was very efficient, professional and gentle. After her examination, she gave her evaluation with a very good explanation of his problems. We were given three options for procedures for the dentures, crowns or implants.
We then met with Luis Padilla and he reviewed the options with us. This included the time element for each option. The financial amount for each option was written out in detail for us to review. Luis offered to help us with accommodations if we had to stay overnight and a driver to take us to and from appointments while in Algodones. We agreed to let them know as soon as possible on our decision about the option my husband preferred.
Crowns were the option he chose, especially with the short amount of time the whole procedure would take. Luis set up a schedule for the work to be accomplished in a total of four days. We agreed and decided to stay in Algodones while the dental work was done.
Dr. Sarai Payan and her assistant Mia did most of the work with the preparation for crowns and bridges. After the crowns were made in the lab they did the work in putting them on the teeth. In doing all of this they were always conscientious about my husband’s pain level and made sure he was comfortable.
They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. They also helped him choose the colour he wanted for the crowns and we were all very pleased with the results.
Other specialists came in to do the extractions and the root canals that were needed. Again, his pain level was a priority in all the procedures. Now remember we are talking about a man who does not like dental work. He said he felt very little pain but his mouth was sore from holding it open for so long.
All of the above took three days. On the fourth day Dr. Sarai checked his bite, did some adjustments, went over the care of his new teeth and gave him a final “O.K”.
I would like to thank all the staff at the MARIETTA DENTAL CARE. From the dentist who worked with my husband, the receptionist, Jesus, including Danessa who helped me get prescriptions, and to the driver, Jerry, who got us very safely to and from all the appointments we highly commend you all. And we highly recommend you all!
We met other patients from the east to the west coast at the office. These patients, along with my husband, were very efficiently directed by Luis Padilla, the patient coordinator.
So, as I said in the first of this long review, we think we made a very good choice in going to MARIETTA DENTAL CARE!
