I Avoided Needing Dentures Thanks to German Arzate & Staff!! - Mexico, MX

My experience was beyond belief! Two years ago and no problems. I had two cracked molars and cried getting estimates in the U.S. just to fix them. I researched it, emailed & spoke w/ Dr. Arzate after sending x rays. I flew down alone and met w/ them for the estimate. Since I borrowed money anyway, I opted for a whole mouth makeover. I ended up w/ many root canals, each tooth crowned, several implants and much more work done than we thought I'd need - ALL WITHOUT EXTRA COSTS!
I am an older woman who traveled and stayed alone there 8 days and always felt safe. The dental clinic also helped me feel confident and secure. I can't say enough good things, I'm not wealthy or even close (I work in a grocery store), but I'd rather have my beautiful functioning teeth than anything else, and these folks made it affordable. You won't regret going to these fine people! The only problem you may encounter is feeling comfortable filling the prescriptions for antibiotics and pain (at a fair price get generics) - I recommend you go to the far end of the Mall to the small drug store, I found them very helpful. Oh, and I do NOT even speak Spanish, didn't need to! Also, the pathetic part-time insurance I have paid for a small part and would have been liable for each crown but apparently Dr. German used the best material, not normal in the U.S., and they only would have covered the cheap stuff. Hmmm. Go for the Best, you deserve it!!
It is great to hear you had such a good experience! You mentioned "Dr. German used the best material". Do you mind me asking what material that was, and what material your insurance was willing to cover in the U.S.?
It means I work for RealSelf helping the community members navigate the site and get the information they need. I would love it if you would fill me in on specifically what material was used for your crowns when you can. :)
Hmm, it seems the dentist you went to for the quote was really high priced. I went to a dentist who is definitely among the costlier dentists in the Seattle area and I only paid $1,536 for my crown, so not sure how your estimate was coming in at almost double. Regardless, I'm glad you were pleased and hope you get many, many years of happiness from your new smile.
