PFM Crown Puerto Vallarta

I had major dental work done on several occasions in Canada at a cost of well over 50K. Each time the work failed, so I found myself back at a periodontist now having to resort to dental implants. I had one done at a cost of 6K and so far, all is well. I knew it was inevitable that I would need several more implants. I was sharing my story with a friend, she told me that she and her husband had been having their dental work done in Mexico for years due to the quality and at a fraction of what it costs in Canada. My first reaction was "are you kidding me"! My husband and I then did a bit of research online, reading various reviews and testimonies of others from Canada and the US that had work done in Mexico. We did not see one negative comment. We soon discovered other friends and friends of friends also had their work done in Mexico. They were very pleased with the outcome and the cost. We wanted to have the work done in Puerto Vallarta, as we generally travel there once a year for vacation. We called a couple clinics and chose the one we did because they were prompt to contact us. The office Manager spoke very good English so language was not a barrier. My treatment is ongoing but on my first trip (with treatment over three days) I had 10 implants, 6 extractions and 6 root canals. The cost of 10 implants alone in Canada would have been 60K. We chose Dr Leticia Armas Tejeda's clinic located at Plaza Marina because of the quick response to our inquiry and the fact that Jose, the Office Manager, spoke very good English. We communicated via text and email without any difficulty. I was picked up at the Hotel by Jose and taken to the clinic where I met Dr Leticia who is lovely. A major plus for this clinic is Dr Karen. She too speaks amazing English and was so very helpful and caring. You can imagine how nervous I was but she was with me through each treatment explaining what was going on. They have a team of specialists doing each procedure. She even went as far as to go to the pharmacy with us, to make sure we got what we needed because we only speak Poquito Spanish. I will return on the 31st of October 2018, to have the crowns and bridges completed. Dr Karen keeps in touch getting updates on how I am doing. I have not had any issues and don't expect I will.

I had my teeth cleaned ($50 USD) and it was one of the best and easiest I have ever had - the dental hygienist was great. I also had an old crown removed and a new all porcelain crown put in place ($550 USD) - the hardest part of the whole procedure was getting the old crown off. I also had a 4-tooth partial made ($700 USD) and my husband and I both had night guards made ($100 each USD). For a total of $1500 USD we were so very pleased - at my local dentist in the US, the crown alone would have been $1500 for all porcelain. At one point Dr. Hernandez thought I might need a root canal so he set up the appointment and drove me & my husband to meet with the specialist. As luck would have it, it turned out I did not need a root canal. Dr. Hernandez also is so very gentle with his work - he gives the best shot I've ever had from a dentist - I never even felt it. I first spoke to Dr. Hernandez over the phone and just had an overall good feeling after speaking with him about my procedures. My overall experience with the International Dental Center and Dr. Hernandez was 100% wonderful. The clinic is very clean and he has state of the art equipment. Also, the prices he charges are unheard of, especially in the states. If you are in need of a really great dentist you won't go wrong by going to Dr. Hernandez. I will go back to see him on our next trip to get my teeth whitened. Please check him out and you won't be disappointed.

Had full mouth restoration in less than a month (and by full mouth i mean every crown on every tooth) , i wont lie it is not pleasant as every tooth is involved but Dr Armenta made it as pleasant as this thing can be. Very detail oriented, always communicating and explaining every detail. You can see he is an expert in his field. He spent full days including some weekends working on my mouth for up to 9 hours a day.... Very clean, Hi End atmosphere, you always have at least two people taking care of your needs at all times, people speak both english and spanish fluently,Make sure to schedule ahead of time as he does have alot of patients.
