Dentist in Mexico

We drove to nogales AZ and parked near McDonald's in a lot marked $6 day. Some lots charge by the hour, so be aware of that if you go. We walked maybe 300 ft and followed the "crowd" through the turnstiles into Mexico where we put our bags on the scanner like going through the airport. We didn't have to show any ID or passport. We walked through another set of turnstiles and our dentist was right there, 50 ft ahead! Arizona dental. Our appt was at 10am and we got in within minutes to get X-rays then off for my cleaning which was performed by the dentist. He found 4 small cavities and said he could fix them right there for $45 each... So that's what we did. He asked me what music I liked and put on 80's Rock. The cleaning was very thorough and the cavities were quick (they were small). He didn't even numb my bottom jaw to fill the last two because he said I wouldn't be able to eat for 3+ hours. It didn't hurt when he drilled out the cavities so I was very pleased. I had been told I need to put crowns on my 4 front teeth and quoted almost $8000 by a dentist in Michigan. He agreed with the recommendation but said there was no rush to do this and that it would take 2 days to do the work at a cost of $1800. That's like 20% of what they were going to charge in the US. I'm going to take to Jerry about it. So far I'm really impressed. I was a bit nervous about doing this, but as usual when you're stepping out of your comfort zone, it's been a good experience. They even took my credit card and also can bill US insurance! And everyone speaks good English and were very nice. My total cost today for cleaning, xrays and 4 fillings - $245Read more
