Last year, I got an annoying tooth extracted. My dentist suggested implants in the hole where the tooth was.
Price: $5,000.
My insurance would pay a piddly amount so, for the most part, it's on me.
But then a girlfriend suggested I get the work done in Mexico. And since I'd be going there in December anyway, why not get it done for a fraction of the cost. She knew a dentist who would do the job -- maybe even better.
She was right! I made an appointment and got the work done for a nominal $1,500.
So-called friends mocked me for resorting to a Mexican dentist. And they acted like his office was near some back alley. They questioned my sensibilities.
Not so. His office was in a modern facility and he was wonderful
I felt no pain. Everything was done professionally.
I am going back in June for the completion for the work. While there, I'll get another suspect tooth done. So, for two teeth, I'm paying $2500 versus $10,000.
Now, you tell me who's the crazy one?
