Mom and dad snowbird In padre. Dad gets his teeth cleaned, has a pair of glasses made and buys the years worth of meds. Total spent is about $400Go to Mercedes Tx, cross the border into Mexico and get the same or better dental care you get in the US.
Thousands of Americans go there annually for dental work.
If I remember right a tooth replacement requiring a socket and a follow up visit months later after the socket has set for the tooth is about $1100.
Just across the border in the US it's $4500 or more.
The dentists there have been trained in the US and their facility's are as good or better than anything you see in the US.
Buddy got some implants and was totally happy with the results. He had to go back after 6 months.
We spend winters near there so we hear all the feedback. If I remember right, they even take US insurance to help cover.
If your wanting more info let me know.
