In the US the prices are insane. And the dentists they dont care at all, is just about money.

Brought to tears by the truth, 34 years old in agony trying to get my teeth fixed for the last 4 years and told I'm too poor to afford a healthy smile. Even after taking out a large personal loan specifically for the procedure, I was told it only covers the 1st half of the needed dental work. Exhausted, broken and hopeless for any possible solution.

I had a full restoration. 5 teeth removed. 4 root canals. Upper and lower partials. Almost costing less than 600 USD$$ . All competed in 8 months @ a dental school in Merida. 2018. No issues at all. Highly recommended. Saludos...

So excited for this guy, Thom.; as a US dentist I know I'm just care that patients get the professional care they seek, doesn't matter where that comes from. He's so happy, that infectious...

I am going to Cancun Mexico next month 9/27 . I started to recording my before and will record during and after. I was told by my dentist it will take 10-12 days to get my work done Witch I am ok with. I’ll be posting cost ,time pain, how you’re treated while you’re under there care. Stay tune

What an eloquent and well thought out approach to the problem with dental care, plaguing many Americans today. Billions of dollars are wasted on unnecessary procedures that only last a few month or even two to three years. Dental health covers a whole array of anatomical functions, and is necessary for a fully functioning lifespan. Something really needs to be done about dental care in America. I am still in the planning and research stages for a dental clinic that will take care of me, and do the right thing, and just NOT line their pockets and have me make their car payment for them. I'm edging towards Cancun Dental Specialists. Thank you Tom.

Don't know about Mexico, never been there for anything dental. I have never had a good experience with dentists here in the US. I was staying in the Philippines when a tooth broke off. An x-ray, extraction and a filling cost me $32 US dollars. The best experience with a dentist ever. Not just the cost but he numbed my gums before he stuck a needle in them. I never felt the needle, I couldn't believe it. Here in the US it's the needle that caused the most pain for me and that was for just an eextraction. I'll pay the $1,200 airfare to go back if I ever need dental work again before I sit in another dentist chair here in the US.

Very well stated. This brought me to tears. When we will wake up & do things the right way in America? Healthcare should not be prohibitively expensive to people who work full time. After struggling with my dental health decline in my 30's, I'm done, I'm planning my dental tourism trip.

Awesome interview, I went to Costa Rica and had a full upper and lower arches. Love it.Changed my life. Nice to hear someone put the truth out there. Enjoy

I'm extremely happy that u got the smile u deserve, your not lying about how the treat is here in America with these ridiculous prices they would rather us wear dentures instead n even though there still teeth , I'm pretty sure the implants are better , I'll be going to Los algodones in Mexico soon and I can't wait I'm nervous n scared some but being 34 n most of my teeth were destroyed by medicine I had to be on it literally destroyed my self confidence and esteem, I wouldn't smile no more n didn't want to meet anyone new because I always felt they would stare at my mouth, God bless the doctors who helped u receive the smile u deserved 🙏🙏❤💯🇲🇽

What a well articulate review! Thank you for the awesome details about your experience. You're 1000% correct and I'm in a similar situation with my oral health. I just spent 6500 dollars for 2 crowns and root canals..a few fillings and an extraction. I cannot imagine how far that kind of money would go in Mexico. Congratulations on your new oral wellbeing.

I have a dissected aorta, lost my coronary artery, and have a CABG, tons of auto immune issues have developed over the years. I am constantly warned by the heart doctors about needing 6 mth dental check-ups and stay on top of the care. I had a cavity and had to pay $750, sold some stuff and did it...but unless I start selling my organs how is this going to work? Plus part of the filling they put in fell out and wanted me to pay to have another one put in. But I am on disability... told I make too much for medicaid! Medicaid only covers adults on SSI that make less than 700/month. Kind of seems like the system is rigged to keep the issues coming rather than clean up anything that might contribute to poor health. No wonder 3rd world countries have better health care than America!

I was skeptical about this video because of the title and ....MIND BLOW. Superb video. Very IMPACTFUL video! Gems and gems of truth. :)

Beautiful and well said . Your awesome for posting this and taking the time 👏

Gum disease caused my husband heart disease. Which caused his hbp which caused his stroke. Which lead to his death.

What a fabulous smile this guy has now.... enjoy😊

omg Thom...I am moved to tears with your story...Your smile looks great.....

Planning and researching to get my smile makeover keep coming across great reviews about Cancun dental specialists ❤ excited to meet them and come up with a plan

So true , i can't even afford my extractions 24 teeth. I had a dentist say he could help me before my problem progressed which was a lie he just ran up my insurance. I was really hesitant about going to Mexico i didn't want to be taken advantage of again. Thank you for this video hopefully i can reach some terms with a practitioner out there. My teeth are similar to yours but worse cause my bone has disintegrated and my teeth are barely holding on. Thank you again..

That's so sad .... I've experienced this same attitude...I'm currently working on doing this process. God bless these Dentist and the people that they truly help.

Good for you Thom!!! Your teeth look great!!! What a beautiful smile!!!

Thank you for sharing your story sincerely AWESOME !!

Brilliant real view about American dentistry! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your story an very realistic honest experience

Im glad to see I am not the only one who had their teeth jacked up by western dental.

Sir your smile looks great! I am sorry you had to go through so much to get the work done.

I'm doing this. What a genuine and deeply personal testimony. Somehow I'll find a way.

I leave Monday 7/18/2022 for my dental care with this company from USA Florida. Will update as I progress. I am going to have as much dental work as possible. I have an implant crown that is bad and my dentist cannot figure out why it keeps getting loose. I am on antibiotics now. Also have missing teeth, need to have old fillings removed and broken teeth replaced. I will answer and update anyone who ask as this is a big on taking in a foreign country. I am not afraid...just dreading doing all my teeth at once. 2 friends of mine have gone to Mexico for total restoration and are very happy. 1/3rd the cost. 10/31/2023 Here is my UPDATE: I went to Cancun Dental Specialist and am 1000 percent satisfied! I had a full mouth restoration for 12k. It took two trips and well worth it. I love my new teeth. All new caps 1 bridge and 1 new implant. Turns out the implant I had before that had issues and the USA dentist could not determine what was wrong...the screw that held the implant was cracked. The Mexico doctors discovered it. Highly recommend. Many Americans go. State of the art equipment and they all speak English.

So sad that dental care is so expensive. My teeth make me so insecure I just exist instead of actually living.

In Canada they estimated me 4.500 for canal treatment and crown. I ordered flight to Cancun. Plan to visit that clinic. Hope, they will do the job correctly so I don't have to return. Hesitating much, but will try

Mr. Chaudoin: I completely identify with your situation and will be going there soon. Will be getting all-on-6. Teeth are worn to hell and dentists either want to slowly let them degenerate and get worse or they don’t want to deal with me at all. In the Northeastern U.S.I have had a few really good dentists, but a few more who were swindlers. A couple I suspect of actively undermining my dental health. I have had it with U.S. dentists. The ones I have dealt with are extortion artists who keep milking you.

Thank you for sharing. I plan to also go to Cancun for my dental implants. Here in the US it's way to expensive. I was quoted 77,000. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Very moving, thank you so much for sharing this story. The thing that really got me was of the lifelong trauma of dental shit. It has colored my whole life, plus god knows how much it is affecting my health right now. So anyway, again, I'm grateful for your testimony here. I am now planning to be in Playa del Carmen this January getting All on 4 both top and bottom, something quoted 60,000 bucks here. After watching this video, I am even more emboldened. I think the place I'm going to is owned by the same people as where you went...

I was lucky to have my teeth done here. I did my research and found an amazing surgeon here on Long Island! But I was so ready to see you if I did not find anyone! I love these stories and this guy especially because he was right about the effects it has on your body and mind! So happy you are able to share these story’s with others! If it was not for them I would not have gotten the courage to go and get my teeth done! Thank you!

You only brush, and floss the teeth ya wanna keep :) Even the implants need to be brushed at the gumline, where plaque builds-up. *The cool thing about implants, is the bone will / does adhere to the implant, that promotes bone-growth - Without teeth in the bone, the bone is diminished much.* Hope to see ya all soon.

In the Netherlands dentures is free of cost . The basic health care insurance about 180 euros every month included this even implants snap dentures. Even rebase reline . Every 5 year new dentures for free. Also removing teeth extractions. Nobody must go through a financial hell. Everyone has the right for the best a beautiful smile depending on your wishes. Dental cost is 40% lower than in the USA. Reminding whe have high qualifying dentist etc.

This was very moving

I am taking my older brother to Los Algodones, Baja Mexico Nevada. He really needs a implants.

Powerful story.

Thank you for this testimonial.

X DENTISTRY in Tijuana. Excellent state of the art facility

"out of reach" 100% true here in America.....for just a smile.

Great points

Thanks to Thom for sharing his journey. My husband and I are researching to have him have a smile reconstruction. We have had two recent CRT / digital scans and have been very recently told he has excellent bone and is an ideal all on 4 or all on 6. We live modestly, I'm a special education teacher and he is retired, so fixed incomes. When we started doing our search the cost is prohibitive for us but living in FL we have discovered this past week about the excellent options that exist in Cancun area, which is a short 2 hour flight for us. Everything that Thom said about the way dental profession and how it is treated in the US is so true by the medical insurance and medical industry. It is so short sighted and sad. Thank you for sharing this video. Blessings to Thom :)

What a amazing story. Please hang in there. Hope u are well now.

I need to come there ASAP!

Is the price all up front or do you offer payment plans?

Totally agree with him

I am for sure heading their in Spring of '22

Thom, Thanks for your testimony. I need a couple of implants, and based on your review, I will be contacting Cancun Dental Specialists right after the new year. Enjoy your new/renewed life!

Thank you for sharing

Yup totally agree

Good on you.

Most people can not even afford Mexico dental prices. They are high because of American prices period.

Good smile

I need a left upper partial # 12,13,14,15 but Id like it to be two implants supporting the bridge do you guys do that?

omg the truth!!! the right patient

I’ve been looking, and can’t find anyone posting bad dental tourism dentists in Mexico.

Question: If the Guerras, below, would do to a DENTIST (Yes, I am a dentist of 50 years and sport a 5- page extensive CV.), what would they do to YOU???

interested... I have periodontitis too...planning to go there next may 2022

Ty for review. Am looking into dental tourism cuz the u.s. dentists quoted my husband $50,000 for full dental implant! We can never afford that! Its not quantifiable and dental insurance dont pay shite! They say its cosmetic but i disagree. My husband would like to eat harder foods again. (He has to eat soft foods mostl)...I even asked can we minus maybe 4 teeth from the whole thing to knock down the price a bit and nada, cant/wont. I don't understand y they charge so much. The material cant b that rare!? And the workers time is valuable but not that valuable. He had soft teeth his whole life and tried to take care of em but alas.

Good evening. Who were your doctors? I'm planning to go this year.

I haven't been to the dentist since I was 13... I'm 50...I do my own extractions cause they're too expensive

I wish I could even afford to go to MX for dental care. I am soo desperate to get all these rotting teeth removed. Im soo tired of all the pain and antibiotics. I'm terrified I will become septic soon.

Cancer treatments have taken its toll on my teeth. I have discovered that if you are a senior on Medicare and a fix income, dental work is a cash business and I cant afford any services. I am letting them go until winter of 2024 when I plan on a trip south.

Im going through the same thing now n even if you had the best insurance it dont cover but maybe 2500 a year worth of work ..no one wants to help or cares about the pain smh

A question, what happens if I need help after treatment for implants? Will a US doctor be able to help in an emergency situation?

Sounds good, except I would want a 1 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr followup on this person...the problem with dentistry in general, especially in MX is if the work holds up or not...

How long time this good people fix your smile?

I can so fucking relate….

I gotta know how much is it for a single molar replacement &titanium implant!

Before ukranian conflict I was getting my dental work done in Russia. State of the art medicine at the low cost or free with insurance(paid by the state).Considering Mexico now.

I'm getting my dental work done in TJ. Flying to San Diego and taking the Trolley from downtown San Diego which is only 40 minutes to the Broader. US Dental insurance is a joke

I'm needing implants. Any advice I would appreciate. I don't have insurance now.

How much is it for a full lower implant

How do I get in touch with them?

This happens to in the USA they got for 20,000 for 3 implants done of them broke about 3 weeks I went back to the dentist he want to charge me again saying you broked I told him I was eating food no rocks the after year one the come lose.

I feel your pain Thom, dental prices in US are really high for implants, crowns, root canals

Some days I feel like crying. My dentist, and the perdontist tell me either I cap my teeth and restore all the ones that are down to denton on top and back of all but the bottom front 5-6 teeth,or let them pretty much fall out and have dentures before I am even 55. I do not HAVE the $ to afford that!! I’m young enough that I could appreciate a lomg time benefit of restored teeth. My insurance covers so little! This country is no place for dental care. If you are poor or working class or middle class..totally SCREWED. I’m looking into Mexico. Would like to consider a college in the USA, but they don’t do this level of work.

I AM SO READY! I AM INTEREST BECAUSE I NEED WORK! I WILL CALL TODAY IM SOLD!

I can feel your pain , toothache sucks

My teeth are shot all over! I been wearing a top plate and 1/2 my bottom almost! Nothing i can do, its from take morphine for 32yrs! So im going to get my bottom ones all pulled and wear plate for the bottom too? I have dental insurance, but it dont cover what i have or cosmetic surgery! Well now thats my backs fixed and i have the time and money, now time for a new grill! What is everyone getting all new implants or denture implant?

How much though?

So, we shouldn’t go to Mexico for dental care ?

How much for full implants

"get the ducks in a row" 😂😂😂

🥰😁✌️

Los necesito, No tengo muelas en la parte derecha de abajo y en la parte izquierda de arriba, es in infierno vivir asi, los demas dientes se deterioran, he ahorrado algo de dinero, pero no se en realidad cuanto es el costo, aca en Puerto Rico es bien costoso, porque atienden varios medicos y los laboratorios son aparte, Yo solo quisiera poder comer bien, no busco estetica, Pero el pasaje cuesta, la estadia cuesta dinero, mas el procedimiento. A veces no dan ganas ni de llamar, es frustrante

Sad truth of American Healthcare. Mainly dental work. Why is America like this.

Smh. I've had a U.S dentist fuck my teeth up.

The dentist Doctor United States they don't care about how hard they're living with Dental .implants high the ones I have very is bad if you to do save Money until You die never have for that i am stress with the one I have Take is in talk it out a Very bad i telling every one Take teeth care your teeth

Sad is that it's not at tbe reach of average middle class Mexicans.

I find it funny how many U.S. dentist "warn of danger" but not one of them actively states they will both simplify and lower their cost. My brother needed a wisdom tooth extraction, dentist wouldn't give a clear price but were saying he would need an appointment to get looked at and anesthesia would cost more. After getting a long runaround he went to a dentist in Los Algodones and for 200 he got anesthesia for free and the tooth removed without any of the bs U.S. dentist make you go through and no there were no complications.

Pretty much just a infomercial no details....smh

I had bad dental work in Mexico. I did not RESEARCH, bad guys were using students, new dentists to pull teeth. Bad guys were dental express. Ajijic. They are good for teeth cleaning and that is 8$. Ok so the real pro after a bad experience, I found , my surgeon landlord got me in immediately, after they saw my botch up job… they got me in doctor Fernando Gallo in Guadalajara. And you won’t wait forever for appts and you won’t pay more than 200$. Not sure of exact price each case different. 1 dentist there speaks perfect English, and dr Gallo does pretty much. All the bells and whistles, panoramic digital X-rays photos of your bite on and on. By the way it should not take 45 minutes to pull a tooth. 15 minutes max.

Planning and researching to get my smile makeover keep coming across great reviews about Cancun dental specialists ❤ excited to meet them and come up with a plan
