I don't need any major work done, just a new denture and maybe some fillings. Looking for options.

Los AlgodonesStill on the fence, friends in Phoenix go to a place just south of Yuma and swear by it. Haven't crossed the border by vehicle yet, not sure what to expect.
I went to a post dental Dentist, took them 2 years to complete and the work was less than perfect.My mom and dad do not have dental insurance, they go to USC to get work done to there mouths. The dental work is done by 4 th year students.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^I can think of a 100 ways to save money in life and Mexican Dentistry isn't on the list.
I check 200 ways and 300 ways and its not on those lists either
LOLMy buddy goes across south of Tucson for dental and hair plugs or whatever he’s doing for his hair loss.
He’s always going on about how I need to go with him.
I don’t think so. I’ve got insurance and still have hair so...
I think he just goes for the hookers truthfully.

Los Algodones
Algodones is very popular for dentists, optometrists and pharmacies. In the winter when the snowbirds are in town the place is packed with them getting stuff done.
Plan carefully... I have literally seen the cars backup up 3-4 miles on to the I-8 during the winter time with all the snowbirds heading to Algondones. Probably best to avoid the early morning hours right after the Social Security checks clear on the first of the month.
So that begs the question, if you graduated from a big school, why are you not a dentist in America?I have taken people to the dentists in Algodones, most buildings are top notch, clean and the dentists are usually white. Most are UCLA or USC grads. I would try to schedule soon, as once the snowbirds from Canada get here it is busy. According to my Canadian customers it takes so long for socialized medicine appointments in Canada they go to Mexico instead. Some of my employees children have gone to orthodontists their and have beautiful straight teeth.
Since Obama care, I walk across the border for my prescriptions. Can buy medicine for less than my copay here in the U.S.
Taxes.... Regulations... politicsSo that begs the question, if you graduated from a big school, why are you not a dentist in America?
I can only come up with 3 reason.
1 you are not a citz/green card( then why the hell did you go to a big name school in the us?)
2 you lost your license
3 you have some criminal background that will not let you get a license.
Sure sounds like some one I want too go see.
Taxes is not it( at least not legally), as soon as you bring any money back you have too pay taxes on them. Unless you are a foreign company, in Mexico that means having a Mexican business partner... seen that go south way too much.
The regulations I can understand, the politics is questionable in mexico.

Uhh, dental not covered in Canada by govt insurance and dental costs in Canada are way way higher than US.I have taken people to the dentists in Algodones, most buildings are top notch, clean and the dentists are usually white.

If you're a USC dentist, the entire medical department at the school is questionable...not slighting you, but damn! That department is gonna cost the whole school $$$$$$$$$$$. It meant they couldn't fire the football staff lolAs a USC dentist, the only reason I would work in Mexico would be to volunteer and do FREE work on the poor kids and families that are in need.
I had a new crown put on and it went great. Lifetime warranty and about 30% the cost. I know a lot of people here in Havasu that use the same dentist.Still on the fence, friends in Phoenix go to a place just south of Yuma and swear by it.

Actually every Wednesday now, mine come in the 2nd Wednesday of the month3rd of the month.
