There seem to be numerous excellent dentists in Mexico from the reviews and youtube videos from what I've seen. I've just been quoted 50-70K for dental implants here in the USA. What choice do I have but to go to Mexico. Thank God we have that option.

Facts.

The fact that this clip showed in a city as far north as SPOKANE tells you how desperate folks must feel to choose to go to Mexico, rather than pay US prices. If Dr. Shaw is seeing his business go 1300 miles south, you know there is a problem.

Research Mexico, especially Los Algodones. Due to a car crash in childhood I have had a lifetime of experience with dentists. Frankly, mostly I have been greatly disappointed and at great cost. After doing a lot of research I have picked the SANI Dental Group in Los Algodones. I was very impressed with the professionalism, the staff, the modern tech and the ability to give one price for a complex restoration. That includes the hotel. My impression of what Dr. Shaw is saying is an excellent example of the disconnect between dentists in the USA and their patients inability to afford good care.

Bottom line it's not a choice for some people it's either have your teeth fall out or go to Mexico where their prices are at least reasonable. Just got quoted 18 Grand to fix my mouth I don't have insurance so I guess I'm going to Mexico wish me luck LOL

Sounds like this dentist really has no idea about the quality of dental care in Mexico. Just trying to talk it down to keep people from seeking care of there.

Quote in America. $13,500 for 8 veneers on top. Price in Mexico, $4500 for 16 veneers top and bottom. Great idea.

They don't upsell me in Mexico.

Just got back from Los Algodones, Mexico and i live Just a couple of hrs from Spokane. I drove down, took a day and a half.. Got great dental work done. sinus lift, bone grafts, 2 extractions... 1800 bucks....I go back in 6 months for 4 implants, $3600 bucks for all 4 plus 450 per zirconia crown.... So, Explain again why Mexico has bad dentists?, because from my personal experience, Mexican dentists have been doing great dental work for MILLIONS of Americans and Canadians for decades...........BTW US dentists have no enforcement authority governing them, a bad dentist can just pick up and move to another state with no consequences.... Also, My Mexican dentist has done tens of thousands of implants and is a Master at his craft, and buys only the very best implants..( straumann implants )... How many implants has this guy done?

Face it. You can get bad dental work in the US. Yeah they have malpractice insurance but they have you sign a waiver before the procedure. The sad fact is that healthcare in the US is all about money. American doctors love to have their expensive life style.

The malpractice insurance is a big part of the reason the cost of dental procedures is out of sight.

You make 0 arguments to dissuade me from considering dental travel. It's more about money.

Dental care should be included in healthcare coverage for individuals who regularly visit dentists to maintain their oral health. This practice was successfully implemented in Germany, where insurance plans covered a significant portion, ranging from 70% to 90%, of the costs for annual or semi-annual dental visits. Conversely, if individuals neglect regular check-ups, insurance costs would increase, resulting in reduced coverage. Given the crucial role of dentist visits in overall health, it is imperative that dental care be covered for anyone who seeks to prioritize their oral well-being. Failing to provide coverage for dental care may lead to exorbitant expenses, prompting individuals to seek treatment elsewhere. By extending coverage to dental care, we can ensure the happiness of citizens who no longer need to travel abroad for affordable treatment. I will go to Mexico too, because I can't afford my dentist in Canada!

Patient has to pay. Ridiculous. Even for paying years into insurance and have had only cleanings and my wisdom teeth out. And when I need a root canal it’s ridiculous. I have to take out a loan.

Then make it affordable

Geez no bias here. Well please explain why our insurance companies cap dental work to $1000. For the price of dentistry in the US it should last for ever. To be fair doctor are just as bad but insurance seems to be more sympathetic towards those cost. America should stop subsidizing medical schools.

I just finished dentistry in Mexico, If you guys want to know if a Dentist here is reliable, look around the office/consulting room at the first meeting (asking for prices without any appointment), It's a must to have your Degree Title easily noticeable for the Patients that we don't get until we have passed a National exam approved by Dental Federation (which is a License in US I believe), on top of that, another sheet noticeable specific for every Post Degree for these specific treatments: Orthodontics, Implants/Prosthetics, Endodontics. If non of these are noticeable (degree and post-degree), and the Dentist is doing Dental general work or Post Degree work, he could be sued.

Yeah his answer to a high quote for dental work is “just save more” and “don’t go to Mexico.”

Quality dentistry and health care are out of reach for most people. It makes sense to shop around for the best prices, even if out of country. I have no issues perusing Mexico's dentists, so as long as they have great references from people I know.

This guy is a joker!

Maybe if dentist like this would stop charging tons of money people like me wouldn't go to Mexico sad we have to travel outside of the so called great country of the u.s.a. to have dental work done these dentist are just mad because there losing business

I would be skeptical of having dental surgery in a country where the water is not safe to drink.

I was really outraged watching this. The prices the dentists charge these days is outrageous. Isn't that the issue right there. This dentist needs to live on a poverty income for a year or two and then change his greedy ways. I worked for 3 dentists and they were all the same, GREEDY!

He has a lot of valid points. Having said that I’m getting mine done in Dallas Texas where there is no tax, saving thousands yet I will have a provider here in USA is problems arise. Check south texas close to the border there are alot of good periodontists down there and the price is very cheap.

He's right doing dental work out of the country because if they do something wrong then you have to go back to fix it which cost more to do. I had bad experience getting my teeth done in Ecuador and spent 7k, having problems later on and then having to get them fixed here which cost even more

Either the Dr wants your money bad or doesn’t want you spending it in Mexico? Nothing wrong with Mexico just understand reviews I suppose. Also if you could afford the trip/cash.

How can I go to a doctor by country not even afford it I don't have any options

So, avoid/be wary of dental work in Mexico? Sounds like common sense to me.

I am not a dentist and do not have a dog in the fight so to speak. I have a good relationship with My dentist and being a construction contractor Myself realize the difficulties that can be encountered with clients, Insurance Companies , attorneys , lawsuits etc. This guy makes a lot of Good points . My Wife winced a little while getting dentures fitted and the guy threw up His hands saying “ I can’t be Your dentist” . After arranging for all the expense to be paid up front , quite a bit of money, We feel abandoned. My Wife is of White Northern European Ancestry and is now afraid of American Dentists. She wants to go to Mexico not thinking about the extra costs , loss of income while going snd staying there etc. plus the crooked kidnapping cops and gangs. American Dentist are more expensive than Mexican ones and the same is true in contracting. Do You want to go to a Mexican court for legal recourse. Can You afford that kind of commute and stay.

To those commenting that the dentist is at fault here for being too expensive... becoming any type healthcare practitioner is an incredible sacrifice, so I would hope that it pays well. It takes years of difficult education beyond a bachelor's degree, accompanied by incredibly expensive education, and dentists render a necessary and highly specialized service to the public. I'm all for a good deal, but healthcare isn't about cutting corners.

Sure it's bad Bad for his bottom line lololol

research A1 smile design in Mexico. no issues better than locally

I think it is generally better to get work done in the US. There are quality dentists in Latin America. You might be better off going to Costa Rica than Mexico. Many just can't afford the care in the US. They can't afford a bridge in the US. They can't afford an implant (s). Absent care and that is what it is. Unaffordable care is absent care.

Mexicos Dentist are internationally renowned for providing the best dental care for all patients regardless of income, the government subsidizes dental school education, does not require malpractice insurance for dentist and does not have all these BS America regulatory agencies that do nothing for patient quality care, just fund the pockets of the insurance companies.

My dentist in Mexico is better than the one I have in USA, by far I found them thru a association called Dental Tourism Association, there network has dentists all over Mexico and guarantee the work, Dr Shaw inform yourself!! lol

Did he say, "D Quack?"He is out of touch with middle class. Dental home? Yeah relationship with doctors and dentists was 70 years ago.

Do your research ! I've been to Tijuana dentist office with best and latest equipment way better then one I go to in my city

They make all dentist in Mexico out to be incompetent. U.S is over priced most people can not afford and end up with dentures. There are good dentists in Mexico. Do your research. Most people dont have 30 to 80 grand to spend. If american dental association or dentist cared they wouldn't over price.

What a joke.

I'd rather go to Mexico they buy there supplies in Calabasas California bet they won't tell u that American products in mexico same stuff

Bottom line, dental work in Mexico is very affordable and Dr. Shaw is highlighting issues experienced by a small number of people. He does not mention the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers from all over the world, me being one. The level of care that I experienced personally was exemplary and comparable to my dentist here in the US. My stateside dentist wanted $5,500 dollars (out of pocket) for a 3 unit bridge after my insurance. He adamantly refused to lower the price, that said, I couldn't get out of that office soon enough and booked my trip to Los Algodones and I've never been happier... In Mexico I had a root canal through the existing crown to correct what my dentist did here in the US as he put a crown over an exposed nerve which was painful from day one (after the novocaine wore off) and eventually became infected. He recommended surgical extraction and the very expensive 3 unit bridge. In Mexico they recommended a root canal through the existing crown (endodontist) which corrected my local dentist's work but retained the existing crown and I couldn't be happier, I'm now and have been pain and abscess free for over 3 years. My local dentist wouldn't consider the root canal and recommended surgical extraction and the outrageously expensive bridge. My recommendation would be to get a second opinion whenever you have doubts about the treatment plan. Sometimes you just know that things are not quite right so, get a second opinion. I gotta say the next appointment with my dentist here was a little awkward as I cancelled the oral surgery and also skipped my next cleaning. After one year I went back and told him I had a second opinion that differed from his recommendation and voilà I still have my god given tooth with no complications. What struck me is that the Mexican dentist told me they try to make every attempt to save an existing tooth as the replacements at any cost are usually not as good as the original... Lastly, according to the United Nations statistics the US is not even included in the top 15 countries for dental care. This list takes into consideration affordability and access to care. Almost all 15 on the list are European countries. Unfortunately, Mexico is not on the list, probably because many Mexicans are poor and cannot afford dental care. Who knows, all I know is that I'm happy with the dental care I received in Mexico and I gotta say I was relieved and elated when all was said and done as I was completely pain & infection free and best of all, no exorbitantly priced bridge to contend with.
