Root End Surgery Mexico

I had booked an oral evaluation at Ocean Dental while my husband and I were vacationing in Mexico, ending up in Cancun. I had been communicating with Carlos who was always prompt to reply and gave clear and detailed responses to my inquiries. We even chatted a couple of time on the phone on a toll free number. I knew I had six front teeth with composite veneers in the front that were starting to break down. This was complicated by white fillings in the back of most of them. Back home I had been told that the best procedure would be to crown all the teeth at a cost of about $1500/tooth. I have a dental plan but even though it's the "enhanced" plan - covers only $2000/ Year for crowns. The clinic send a van to pick me up at my hotel ( which is routine). My appt. was for 9:30am and the van arrived just after 9:00am with one passenger . We stopped to pick up two more people who came by ferry from Isla Muejeres where they were staying. Both parties were extremely happy with the work done and especially the cost ( one from Alberta and one from Wisconsin).By the time I got to the clinic , registered, and waited a bit for my name to be called it was probably about 10:30am. You should be prepared for waiting somewhat as it's a busy clinic and the waiting room was quite full. Despite having to wait ( some people seemed put out by it - unfortunately - this is Mexico, not the U.S. Or Canada) there was never any trace of anxiety or rushing - everyone in the clinic was relaxed and friendly. A client had brought a big bag of chocolates and patients and staff were helping themselves, laughing and joking. I was called and taken to be ex-rayed by a young man who's name I can't recall and when I asked questions he got someone else to come to answer them as his English wasn't too good. I had some 360 degree ex-rays done then went to see a young woman who did a thorough oral exam with photos and a couple more close-up exrays. She spoke English quite well and was very approachable and explained what she saw or answered questions. I felt like I was in good hands. Finally " Dr. Irma" came in and after consulting with the girl said she agreed that six crowns should be put in the front and two on the bottom pre- molars. She was also very easy to talk to and caring. I then went to see Maggie who wrote up the estimate - very thorough and knowledgeable as well as offering suggestions when I asked about a Beach to go to. The van dropped us off there instead of taking us back to where we were staying. In all the examination took over an hour and I paid $60 U. S. For it which will be deducted from the cost when the work is completed. The estimate for the eight crowns came to about $3700 Canadian and I was told to set aside a week for the work to be done ( it's better to have more time on the end in case some adjustments or "hotspots" need to be addressed). Maggie made the estimate good for a year and molds were taken of the teeth before I left. I was Very, very pleased and impressed by my experience and any nervousness I had was calmed by listening to others' experiences and seeing the clinic in action ( state of the art equipment). Why not get dental work done and save bundles while taking a vacation in Mexico?

I needed multiple crowns and bridges. My daughter required gum reduction and 6 crowns. I was living with broken stained teeth. Everywhere I inquired in the states the treatment was just too expensive. For both of us, the treatment was pain-free. They do not push anything that you do not need or want. It was by far the most professional clinic, I live in New York City on the upper east side and it beats all comers and it is also the cleanest.

Dental partials. This is a no-nonsense professional dentist. She performs only the work necessary and doesn't try to sell you unnecessary services (unlike the US.A). You are promptly seen and attended to at your scheduled time (also unlike the U.S.A). My work was performed at about 20% of the cost I would have paid for in Florida. Thank You (gracias) Doctor Luz Marely Garcia Alvarez!

Had to get a complete lower denture made. I went to the office at 0900 and before 1600 I had a brand new denture that looks and feels awesome! And the best part $200! They were sooooo fabulous!

Awesome cleaning, best I've ever had. I will be back for sure.

I had 12 veneers placed about a year ago and this year I came back to have a crown placed on a molar. The treatment was great, and my veneers looked perfect and completely real. Very nice, and not fake-looking! The clinic is very clean and professional.The staff is super friendly! Dr. Aguero speaks Spanish and English, making it easy for English speakers like myself to communicate more effectively.

This clinic had really good reviews, so I chose them for my dental implants. The place was a little out of the way compared to some of the other clinics in the neighborhood (it was on the second floor) and it would have been hard to find had I not been taken there by the hand. I’ve been to a number of clinics in Mexico and this one was exceptionally clean. The dentist was on on time and the appointment went ahead exactly as scheduled. I remember seeing a limited price list online, but I was quoted the real price after they took x-rays of my mouth. The dentist did a wonderful job inserting the implants, but there was something else they managed to do for me that was even more exceptional. A while back I booked an appointment with a different clinic to have crowns done. After they examined me, the dentist there refused to do it. He told me it couldn’t be done, and that it wouldn’t last. When I visited Extreme Makeovers and got their opinion on the crown, they warned me that it might not last for many years (2-4 years perhaps). I decided to go through with it anyway - in the worst case it would cost me 50 bucks per year for the crown, and that’s a great deal in my opinion. We did the procedure and it was a great success. Dr. Cooke also managed to do something else for me. Some time ago I’d had an implant done at a different dental practice and it failed (the site had to be closed and grafted). I asked Dr. Cooke if he's able to do a single-stage implant for me (most dentists are hesitant to go forth with this because the failure rate is high). The doctor agreed to do the immediate load implant. It’s been two months now, and the implant is still fine.The likelihood of failure is pretty remote at this stage of the game. I also had a deep cleaning here, which was fairly well done, even though it hurt a little bit. The job was thorough and he performed the deep clean in two stages. When we were done with the first session, Dr. Cooke told me, “Now your gums are bleeding. You’ll come back in two days and we’ll finish the job.” When I returned, we completed the cleaning. I was immensely pleased with the services they offered me at this fantastic clinic. I managed to get work done here that other dentists couldn’t do for me. It was a great experience. Such superb workmanship!

I was treated by the Dra. working for Sonia. I had 4 full crowns in front put in. They did the grinding the first morning and I came back the next morning for the permanent crowns. I was very pleased with the end result. Comments are, they look like my real teeth and match perfectly with the others. I chose this clinic because my nephew recommended it to me. It was exactly as he told me. I was taken in on time and on my return visit came in an hour earlier than scheduled and didn't have to wait. The office was very near the border and easily found. They offered to pick me up but it wasn't necessary.

root canals, bonds, cleanings, exams, biteguards, diagnoses, SRP My father and I have been to Enrique and Gracilella's clinic twice and are planning a third visit. They are the kindest, most professional and proficient dental duo in North America; we adore them! My father has had significant amounts of work done at 1/s the cost and with much higher professionalism than his dental office in Reno, and Enrique followed up with him several times to ensure his root canals and night mouth guard were healthy and fine (my father had a huge infection when we went to Mexico, and Enrique cleaned it all out; he also recognized my father had been grinding his teeth down at night, so had another place make a guard for him). My cleaning's are done with all natural materials, and are the most thorough/best anywhere!! The only improvement generally that I saw could be made in Los Algodones (because I don't need to pay for or sit in a million dollar office-- I just need professionalism and hygiene) is that last time we were there, I noticed that most offices don't yet have the most translucent and white porcelain posts and veneers. Of course, many offices here in SoCal don't either. For example, many offices in CA and Mexico are using things like CEREC and other procedures for crowns that seem not to make the prettiest ones. Perhaps that has changed in Los Algodones as it is beginning to change in SoCal. I would trust Enrique and Graciella like family--and much more than most dentists in the U.S.! Great!!

Needed a cleaning (stain removal). They were prompt, courteous, and very professional. Everything they did was explained to me before they did it. They did an excellent clean and polish after a quick check. It was a very good value. The clinic is perfectly located in Playa. There was no issue with my limited Spanish. My appointment time was met in a timely matter. I will return.

. Family-oriented, the doctor explains everything she's doing in the process and you can contact her anytime. I felt very comfortable all thru the appointment
