I'm a cradle-robber, and my wife is from Africa. She had a few expensive dental issues when she got here, because it was impossible to get work done before she left her country. I took her to Cancun.
They quoted $5800 for a zirconium crown, an implant with a sinus lift, several fillings, and three wisdom tooth extractions. The implant alone would have been maybe $4000 here in Florida. They cost $1500 in Cancun. Depending on what you're getting done, you can save up to 80%, and the work is good. Our American dentist is cool with our choice, and he said everything they did was fine.
The clinic had oral surgeons on the premises. Lots of fancy equipment. Call them today, and they'll see you tomorrow, not next month. They will never tell you they're not taking new patients. A luxury hotel runs $110 per day, but you can do okay for much less.
While you're there, you can pick up a lot of genuine prescription medicines, cheap, with no prescription. I picked up some Tramadol. Junkies in the US have made doctors very tightfisted with painkillers, and if I break a bone, I'm not going to sit in a waiting room for three hours with no opioids.
I pay what I have to when we need care in the US, without hesitation. But medical tourism is something everyone should be aware of. Money is money.
