Dental medical tourism

I actually never guarantee anything forever. If you couldn’t keep your original teeth, who am I to say you could keep something else inferior for forever?

Two, anyone who says ripping out all your teeth isn’t at least somewhat uncomfortable is a complete liar.

I am not your guy. I am fast and good. I don’t try to be Mexico cheap. I do way better work and fix all the crap that comes back from there and they are whining because they are in agony. The only down side to this is I have a heart because I feel bad for the poor ol sucker who thought traveling to another country was a great idea and now they have no way to get anything done fixed.

But for arguments sake, what do you feel is an acceptable price range?

$1k for a single cracked wisdom tooth extraction was too much. $500 total for the other 3 wouldn't bug me :laughing: I guess it'd be "free" at work, but I'd probably get better quality and service in mid rate for Mexico Mexican dentistry.

For my dad, I'll be honest I don't know his whole issue. All I know is I had to about force him to the doctor the other day and my whole life he's complained about his teeth in some way. Last couple.months all I get is stories about how dentists are assholes and nobody will give a quote or just do whatever.

Reality is my dad is probably the asshole in many scenarios, but also the "insurance mindset" of modern medicine is irritating as all hell.

In the other thread, you mention your whole month stuff is about $60k. Pop is probably willing to spend $20k on his mouth, but I haven't heard about his limit.
 
Those numbers, I want to say I've spent about $15k on my wife's dental work over the decades and I'm about $3k on myself.

I can't ever imagine a scenario where $50k+ is worthwhile for my mouth. Even hitting the lotto, that'd be too much. Maybe to cut cancer out of my jaw, but that shouldn't cost that much :rasta:

Cancer is much more than that

Just to cut a jaw out?

Well, I'm also good with death :laughing:

Medical is crazy. A lot depends on extent. Rebuilding a jaw is not simple. Just removing comes with a lot of complications since a lot of vital structures hang out there

I'm definable not "rebuild" level of concern for my health.

Even with my hand surgery a few years back, told the Dr that I'll be more adamant about removal instead if repair next time :laughing:
 
I got my dental work done in costa rica but i also have family here so housing wasnt an expense. Paid $600 to get 3 wisdom teeth removed and my teeth cleaned including the drugs.

10/10 would recommend. stateside dentists wanted $1000-1200 per tooth
 
GF is two years out from a kidney transplant... She is one beautiful strong women! To get short listed for the transplant, she needed to have all her teath extrated! She is now going through the process of getting implants.... In southern Utah; the cost is north of $20K and is taking almost six months to complete. Way to much at risk to have a Mexican dentist fucking around. :smokin::smokin::smokin::smokin:
 
All of my mom’s side of the family goes to Algodones. They’re all of Mexican descent and speak Spanish, though, so no help with the tour company part. I’ll see if I can find out info later.
