I would like to get some dental work done in Mexico while we are in the Galvaston, Texas over Christmas. Is there a company that facilitates or that has information on reputable dentists? I don't know where to start.

We have a place in Phoenix area. Lots of snowbirds from Can and US go to Mexico. We’ve started hearing about recommendations through others. Try posting where you’ll be going and I’m sure you will find some recs. You can also post on similar pages at your destination.

Thanks so much. I will edit my description

Go here. We’ve been going for years. Kirk speaks English and is a Canadian from BC.
His practice is great.
And it’s about 30-40% the cost of Canada. Tell him Erin and Stu sent you!

Erin is this in a shopping mall?

Erin looked it up. Yes it is. I’ve been here. Had a crown done and my father in law had a bunch of stuff done too. Said it was the best cleaning he’d ever had done on his teeth.

Erin also had about 20k worth of Canadian dental work done with Kirk's Dentoamerica back in 2017. The 6 crowns and completed implant cost me about $6k CAD and the work has been flawless. My Canadian dentist is repeatedly impressed with the crowns. Make the effort to get to PV and catch up on all the work that needs to be done. Good luck!

My husband is an orthodontist and has seen only bad work done in Mexico... cheap but mostly has to be re done in Canada. Be careful

Thanks for the warning

Caroline we know so many folks who have had great dental work, and, the cost, for those of us without insurance is etremely budget affordable!!!!

Caroline that's called a survivor's bias. Any doctor can say that they only see sick people

My son had an awesome experience getting his dental work done in Mexico. If you like I can get some leads for you.

That would be great please, I don't even know which Mexio city is the closest to Galvaston. I need to do some research.

Don't listen to people who say that you can only get bad dental work in Mexico. This is simply not true. I live in Mexico and there are so many fantastic dentists here. I have had HORRIBLE work done in Canada, but my work in Mexico has been really good overall. I live in Mexico City, so not close to the border, but do your research and you will save a lot of money. I might suggest joining FB groups like “Foreigners in __________ ” (insert city name) and asking there. You will get good local recommendations. If you decide to get your work done in Monterrey or Mexico City, let me know and I can make recommendations.
The only people who tell you that ALL work done in Mexico is bad are the same people who directly benefit from you not getting work done in Canada (dentists). With the stories they tell, you would think everyone in Mexico is walking around with a mangled mouth, but we aren´t!
With that being said, if you need to get some serious work done (like root canal, crown, etc) it is really important to plan a sufficient amount of time in Mexico to get the work done.
Galveston isn´t that close to the border, so your best bet would be to fly to the Mexican City of your choice to get the work done. If you decide to go to Reynosa or Matamoros, which are the closest cities on the border, just be REALLY careful because those cities aren´t the safest or nicest places to visit in Mexico. Good luck!

Marie Thanks much and yes I know all about crappy dentists in Canada

Marie I guess you’re the expert! My husband doesn’t do general dentistry but he sees work done in Mexico.

Caroline I don’t benefit at all from telling people the truth.

your 'truth' would only be beneficial if you were an expert who can judge good or bad dental work.

Caroline your husband doesn’t see the good work done abroad because people generally stop going to Canadian dentists once they figure out they’re a rip off.
My Mexican dentist has seen terrible work from Canada but I guarantee her husband isn’t on the internet defending her. Her work speaks for itself

How long are you in Texas for? The Rio Nuevo Progresso crossing is likely where you'll want to look across the border and get recommendations...it is pretty safe. Galveston is a 6.5 hour drive from there, so you'll probably want to spend a night or two in that area depending on what kind of work you need done.

I would really appreciate if somebody can share some positive experience from Puerto Valarta and name of the clinic. I am planing to go there in Decembre and get some dental work.Thank you

Have all my dental work done in Merida, Yucatan and the work has been excellent! I’ve had 6 cleanings 4 root canals and 6 crowns done and can’t say a bad thing! And the prices are amazingly cheap

Our dentist in Los Algodones was trained in the U.S. and lives in Yuma. Short drive to border crossing. We both had 5 and 6 crowns done in 2009 and still have them. We are going back in October to gave them checked. US$ 350.00 ea. Compared to 2100.00 CAD in Calgary. NOT! Combine ur trip with a little holiday and Win Win.
