Funny how "third world countries" have more access to dental care
did my last 2 crowns in mexico --- 500$ for a root canal and crown ...add the air fare of 435 r/t still beats local prices by half to two thirds even without insurance.
If needed, they make up the crown while you wait - gets delivered by a bicycle messenger an hour or two after the impressions are taken - saves a return visit.
BTW my "mexican" dentist trained at Loma Linda dental school...... lives in san diego, crosses the border with his patients in the morning..... go figure
