Mexican dental work

crazy!!!

 

my last crown was made in the office with a 3D printer and the entire process took about two hours, I will stay here, time is priceless.

 

3D printed. Thats pretty cool. Do you know what it cost, or was it just a co-pay?

 

I am lucky enough to have dental insurance so I just had my copay. It was really cool because I did not have to wait for the mold to be sent off, it was all done that same day and a lot less pain.

 

I am so happy for your wife. I can only imagine being a woman and having bad teeth? Good for you for supporting her in her dream. I’m sure it will work out fine? My mom had been going down there since the 80’s for medical procedures.

But mostly I’m glad your wife is healthy enough to be here to have this adventure with you.
Good luck my friend.

 

It wasn't dental work, but this woman died yesterday during gastric bypass surgery in Mexico. Made me think of this post.

@Dennixx just wondering if your wife followed through with this? And if so how did it work out? I had an accident a while back and lost some teeth in the process. Just got a quote on some implants and about fell outta the chair when they gave me the quote

 

my dad went to Mexico to have his implants done and he’s very happy with them. He paid $995 per tooth and I think he got like six of them done. It was about 1/3 the cost done here in the US. Although I’ve seen some billboards when I’m out driving around claiming that they can do implants here in the US for about $1000 a tooth but there’s probably other expenses hidden that they add on. You know how that goes. All I can say is make sure you do your research and I’m like a private detective or something. There’s some real shady stuff that goes on down there medically.

 

I had implants to replace my teeth last year total of 8 implants and zirconium teeth. Cost me 49k. I had to go back to the dentist every week for 2 months then every month for a year.
Finally all the way done. Had 8 different sets of temporary teeth before I had what I wanted. My dentist is 1 hour from my house. The temporary teeth are 3d printed at the office. I broke 4 sets of those temporary teeth. I couldn’t imagine having to fly back down to Mexico to get new ones every time they broke.

I will say if you get implants get the zirconium finals you will regret getting those plastic 3d printed ones they fragile and worthless imo.
