- How much did it cost for dental work in Ajijic Mexico. New dental crowns, whitening, and a root canal. Stories about retired life at our project home in the mountains of central Mexico, our USA travels in our 40' Monaco motor home, or whatever else is on my mind today.
I just had my teeth cleaned yesterday here in Aguascalientes, it cost 200 pesos (10.67 U.S.) and they did a great job. I love Mexico!
+dj33036 .dj63010 ... Cleaning is way cheaper here ... 190 pesos. LOL!
haha, ok I'm moving there for the savings jeje. Thanks for the great videos, I enjoy your style.
Cacao yummmmm
@@JCTravelStories so when are you taking me to get my teeth done? I'll wait 😇
I went to a dental school in Yucatan. 4 root canals, 4 extractions, x-rays, 4 crowns, and upper and lower partials for a grand total of $ 600 USD. Took approximately 8 months!! Saludos.
I was just quoted $3000 for a root canal and crown. As it turns out by the time I made a decision my tooth died and I ended up having it pulled for 350 instead. I'm so mad now. Americans are being screwed over by the dental and medical field. I want to move to Mexico now.
Been happening for 8 decades. GREED.
Your teeth look amazing. I had a root canal in April by a dentist in Florida. He broke through the root and laid the filler on my jaw. Cost me $2,500. 4 months of pain and multiple excuses and multiple dentists later, I still had the infection, it destroyed the original tooth and the tooth behind it. Had to have both extracted. Now I have to have 2 implants! US dentists are ridiculous!
+Hula Shack ...OUCH!!! I asked about implants here. 8900 pesos for the implant ... then 4500 pesos for the tooth. About $750 total per tooth.
My implants are 5K per tooth. (with the crown) I wish I was living in Mexico now! Thank you for your videos.. I am learning so much! I have a friend who just had their teeth redone here in Florida. He spent $65,000 on dental work. I thought he had to have had full dentures with 8-10 implants to hold them in place....nope....he only had one missing tooth so only 1 implant. The rest was just crowns. Can you imagine? He would have been better off flying to Mexico and having the work down down there and could have stayed in a 5 star resort for a month and still would have been cheaper.
We have used Cancun Dental by Ocean Dental. The price for 2 round trip tickets, Nyx hotel with breakfast buffet, right on the ocean and all 4 implants ant 1 root canal was still much LESS than HALF the price we were quoted in Houston! Cancun dental is absolutely awesome and better equipment than the dentist uses in Houston too. Not to mention beautiful City, attractions, and was pampered like "Rock stars"! Cancun Dental is 1 800 278 3215. Dr. Irma speaks 3 languages, trained in the United States and her team of doctors are Highly trained and people come from all around the world to see her and perfection work.
Thx
So how much did everything cost? Hotel, dental work.
Dental work in Mexico is AWESOME!! Last month we went to Puerta Vallarta and got dental work done (3 crowns, a bridge, 2 cleanings) a couple of free extras for $1250 USD. In the US I was given an estimate for this at somewhere around $5000. So we decided Mexico at Dentalestetic in PV (Dr, Melisa and her team are FANTASTIC). The service was phenomenal, even picked us up and took us back from our airbnb. Fit in 3 appts. in a week. Long story short we are going to PV again in October and are still saving money with the entire cost of the trips! Keep spreading the good news JC travel, there are better ways then to succumb to US healthcare gouging. Elmer and Melissa (soon to be 50 yr old expats)
My wife used to have her dental work done in Puerto Vallarta while we were on our vacations there. Who knows -- it might have been the same clinic! :-)
+Elmer Smith ... Thanks for sharing that, Elmer.
I have a friend living/retired in Hawaii. She needed hip surgery, in US hospital approx her copay would be $48,000. She flew to India & surgery, 5 days in hospital care, 10 days convalescing in a private care center was $4000. total.
I have VA/Tricare insurance & it sux. The copays on dental are more than my whole retirement benefits so I just dont go.
Big pharm & medical are slowly killing us retired people.
I too have major spinal issues. I was given a tens-unit but cant use it becuz I have afib & “””” have metal staples “”””dropped into my upper abdomen when I had my gall bladder removed by a military surgeon. The staples are just millimeters from my heart & the tens-unit will heat them up.....
End of my bitch session
Your teeth look great! Glad you're happy!
Your dental work looks amazing and your dentist has some very cool machines. Well done compared to dentists in the US great price
Shaggy2016 Flores ... Thanks!
I like listening to your stories! You have a very calming, relaxed way about you! Is that a result of living in Mexico, or were you always that way?
A T-S Maybe you should ask him about Skeeter Swattin' ??? OH Yea!
+A T-S ... I think it’s partly about living where there is a different concept of time, but also it’s about getting older and wiser. Although I won an original oratory competition in college with a speech entitled, “Take time”.
???? Cajun are you a troll?
Hula Shack I'm sorry if I offended you. You must not follow JC. Last week he was talking about going postal (Knocking out windows) to kill the "State Bird" (The Mosquito)!!!
Pros: no pain. Cons: no pain, no painkillers. Kidding. Really pros all the way around and very encouraging.
Your dental work looks amazing 😉
Dora opfermann ... Thanks, Dora!
I had procedure done, a root canal with a crown and an extraction a total of $2500 us dlls and all this happen in Las Vegas, NV I will go to Mexico for Dental work next time I need it. thank you for sharing
Oscar Hernandez algodones, Baja California thru juma Arizona dentist central Algodones Baja California Mexico best prices there.
Melissa is correct about good prices and good dentists in Algodones. I've been there and have friends who have had dental work done there. The prices are a little higher than farther south, but still Mexican prices not Vegas prices.
I’m here in Ajijic for August, and I’m loving it. Intending to get some dental work done. I’ve googled dentists in town. Sooo, if you’re willing to tell me his name, I’ll consider him. Thanks for all your tips.
I had 4 crowns and some misc work done in the US 3 years ago at a cost of over $12,000 US. That was after insurance paid 40%. Health costs in the US have gotten outrageous. Supposedly half go without dental care now.
Sad but true.
Better equipment than my dentist in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Just a few here have that high tech scanning camera. One single crown just cost $1900cdn. Insurance only paid $800cdn. I have plans to drive my truck and 5th wheel to San Miguel. Perhaps PV and then across to Ajijic could be the better choice.
Thanks for the video JC. Your dentist in Ajijic is more high tech and modern than the one I go to here in the states.
+Linda Schock ... yes, but some of the roads have pot holes on the way to the clinic.
Yes, and if you are in a low to the ground sports car you can even bottom out! ;)
One thing for sure is JC's Dentist is having a lot of visitors from the states and he is making some hell out of money hahaha... Thanx Jc for waking up some sleepy Americans from the American dream haha😅
Mexico has great dentists. My husband has been to Mexico, across the border there near El Paso, but it was a nice little Taxi cab ride across the border. They took him right to the dental office. After it was over they drove him right back across the border and they did a great job on his teeth and it was for a fraction of the cost here in Texas. If I ever have problems with my teeth, I think I'll take a cruise across the border myself. :) Thanks again for the great video :) Looks like they did a great job on your teeth too!
Thanks JC-very nice work you do.
I live in Guadalajara, dental work here is very affordable, a few blocks from my house there's a very modern, clean detal clinic I flew my mom here and they did a an excellent job at half the price that it would cost in Tijuana, cannot imagine how expensive must be in the U.S
Where in Guadalajara did you go to get your dental work done?
Can you give us the number for the dentist?
looking good...my gawd though...dentistry without pain , and the prices...excellent share, thank-you JC ..
Fascinating! Great information, great video! Thanks for sharing. Tampa, FL
Another entertaining video! I enjoy the story with style,..and the humor of responding to some of your comments!
Your new teeth look amazing.Keep smiling and thanks for great information and videos!👍🙋♀️
It is so wonderful that you share such useful information! Thank You!
I have a friend who had dental work there. She is very happy with the results. I am contemplating veneers for cracked front teeth.. thanks.
Great content. Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU so much! I'm planning to go next week to Pierdas Negras to get some dental work
wow! thanks for a such complete summary.
Love 💕 your videos JC! Keep them coming! Dental work is out of control here in the US and my dream for retirement didn’t go quite as I had planned due to an autoimmune disorder. If it had, I’d be your neighbor in a ❤️ beat!
WOW. What an awesome dental experience. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to my first dental app. in Oaxaca. 😌
Glad to hear she is doing well. God bless
Thanks so much Jc for sharing this great video i enjoy so much greetings from Palm aire in pompano beach Fl usa.
You are so welcome. Don't hit me.
I did a complete whitening procedure in a clinic near Mexico City. Costs 450 pesos. May found cheaper options. In The odontological faculty at some universities all the labor and some materials are for free.
Another good video.Thank you. Maybe do a video on Lasik vision also.
Very cool! I had a root canal a bunch of years ago in Mass, it was $1400.00 for the one tooth!
Your new teeth look wonderful!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! beautiful! You are spot on about the Charles Schwab debit card, that is what I used when I was down there. Easy peasy to open a checking account with them. Nice new teeth in a matter of hours instead of days for a fraction of the cost! Beautiful...
2K subs! Onto 3K! ;)
+Mike McFarlin ... Where did you think I learned that about Schwab...🙄
;)
I like that many comment positively on the service that Mexicans offer in our country. And I hope it continues to be that way, I only suggest that when you meet my countrymen working in their countries of origin, be gentle and considerate to them. Thank you.
I hope to make some friends in Mexico. And learn good Spanish.
Hi JC. This is another very informative video. You put a lot of work into this one. Otra vez saludos de Florida.
vince simmons ... The filming and editing was easy. Sitting in that dental chair for hours was the hard part.
Yes but at least you get to keep the teeth. Very nice I might add.
I like your new smile😁
Wow , Always Cheaper Good For You - Wish You The Best To You And Wife From CA.
Time for a vacation trip.
+Lee Johnson ...Good idea, Lee.
Looks great!
David Richey ...Thanks, David!
The Cerec (brand name) aka chair-side-crowns are awesome - I have had 4 teeth done that way. They can get much more accurate margins as opposed to using an outside lab. The CAD system you showed and the CNC (about the size of a computer printer) are wonderful. Pricing was great.
stevenjb2009 ... You're talking above my pay grade ... What does CNC stand for?
CNC - computerized numerical control unit. It takes the data from the computer aided design unit they used to scan your mouth and transferred that data to the CNC which used little drill bits (cooled with water) to shape a chunk of ceramic suspended in the CNC machine. Easy peasy.
stevenjb2009 ... Thanks! All amazing to
me.
JC really need to get to your dentist. Will reach out next year. So enjoy watching you and your funny, easy going wife and family. Great lifestyle! You are blessed.
Opps.
dentalexpressmexico.com
oops, not opps. Its been a long day of answering comments. LOL! :)
So excellent.
Great Just what I need THX
the bill and the equipment are amazing! thanks for the info!!
Do you have any friends near Texas if so where do they go in Mexico for dental work?
Great stuff!
Very very nice.
Hi JC. Ringling clown from Yuma here. I need the exact dental work you spoke of. This is valuable news for me. Thank you for this info ! Yuma
Be well. Go to La Algodonas for your dental work. I have friends in Yuma who do. They're very happy with it.
Algodones is so close by...prices r so good too.
JC thanks man for taking the time and effort to make a vid like this, so informative. My dentist in US has that same computerized lathe, except he charges 1000$ per crown, what you got done, would have cost close to 9000$ hear! I feel I owe you a beverage (or several) of your choosing for all your hard work (hope we both live long enough for me to get that done LOL).
+Tapestry of God ... 18 years ago my US dentist charged $750 for a crown. I met a friend here who owned a dental lab in Phoenix. He said it cost him $3 to make a crown and he charged the dentists $86. Oh, BTW ... it’s Coca Cola. Preferably Mexican, not corn syrup US cola.
WOW... THANK YOU...
TOP Dentistry clinic in Mexico here! 70% off
I definitely need to go to Mexico 🇲🇽 for dentist work 😊love this video
That's pretty damn good considering one root canal would cost more than that here in the US
Oh and that machine you were talking about is very cool thank you for sharing
This high-tech dental office makes my dentist in Orange County, CA look absolutely prehistoric! Please post dental info.
I do not make public recommendations for doctors and dentists. Send me a private email. jc.travel.stories@gmail.com.
Thanks for info
JC travels looks like a modern dental office. not bad. I will do my dental implants in Mexico when I relocate there
Doris C ... Good idea, Doris.
Looking good.
Radnally ... Thanks!
That was rude, if they don't want to hear the whole story they can just fast forward it, or make their own investigation.
+Jaime Burciaga ... Si. Es verdad.
I guarantee that is nothing more than trolls. That just proves that JC's channel is successful because now the trolls come out.
Jaime Burciaga~ Unfortunately, thats what can happen when you put yourself "out there" trying to help people by giving them great information they wouldn't easily find otherwise. Sad actually...
Thank you
I'm impressed!
+avery neal ... By??? The cost? The modern office? My engaging smile?
I was thinking about the office, especially the tooth printing machine
.... but now that you mention it ... all of the above!
Thanks JC!
I live in Vancouver British Columbia. I had one filling $445.00. If any issues arise latter a root canal $500.00 or a cap for $1.000.00 for one tooth. Much more affordable there in Mexico.
OMG. I've had shots in the front of my mouth and the dentists always asked me to scream as loud as I could before he shot me. When he did it, my scream went up a hundred fold.
I'm going to mexico. Not sure how to arrange it, but I'm going.
Thanks for the info. 🙋
Check out Los Algodones, Mexico. Hundreds of dentists in walking area.
Outfitted with better equipment than at my dental office here in Missouri.
I'm afraid go to the Dentist or Doctor here in USA, here is tooooooo!!!!!!!!!! expensive, thanks JC fro share with us this important information, Greetings from Idaho USA
+Miguel Contreras ... Good teeth are so important to a long and pleasurable life that it is a CRIME that so many in the great and wonderful and rich USA can not afford dental care.
JC, that is why I watch your videos! "Can not afford dental care"? JC, I don't need to tell you here in the "Great and Wonderful/rich USA", is getting that way with EVERYTHING!! Thanking you again for your honest info.!
Jc - Your choice of words are remarkable, CRIME. Well said.
Someone who is charity and money minded gets mexico is a give and receive environment... perfect
Buenas tardesssss, Nice smile
+L Slikk ... ... Thanks!
you look younger with those tooths😀😁👍👍👍
Looks like they did a good job to you. I just paid over 650 dollars for a root canal and 1200 for a crown in the Bay area, this is insane!!!. My next visit will be to dentalexpress. thank you for sharing
American dental is a scam! Greed!
JC, I just need to know.....Can you still whistle Dixie, and spit watermelon seeds across the street? Nice work, if you are happy, that is all that matters!!! : - ()
+CAJUN Jamis ... I never thought about whistling! It took me several tries to do the loud whistle I’ve always been able to do and one of the whistles I’m not able to do. Interesting. Need to buy a watermelon. LOL!
Great prices compared to here in Canada.
That xray machine is more modern than the one my dentist is currently using. Beautiful new crowns you have there 😁
needlecrafter ...Yep. State of the art equipment.
I live in Tampa and yes my dentist don't have this equipment,your doctor has a modern equipment.
But my dentist has other difference is very very expensive vs your dentist 😭😭
Well the bottom teeth now match the top now, beautiful teeth and lovely white. Thanks for sharing, sharing is caring! Super awesome cheap price for all that work. Here it would be at least $5000.00 for all that work and on 6 teeth wow!
Jude W ...Sharing is caring .... I like that. ❤️
Well every single person that comes to your channel will learn something from you. Thank you.
Awesome video. Feb 2020. Wife needs 9 fillings (that includes 4 old ones that need to be redone), cleaning, night guard, and whitening. USA dental insurance will only "cover" 5 fillings because the ones that need redone "are not necessary right now" plus they will not cover the night guard....USA Dentist with insurance out of pocket cost for 5 fillings and rest: $2,500 USD.........went to Baja Dent in Ensenada Mexico.....including EVERYTHING (all 9 fillings)....$700 USD.....that leaves me $1,800 in savings to spend in seafood, wine, and beer....Cheers!
I just spent over 5000 on 2 implants, with a so called special price. I’m just trying to get up the courage to go to Mexico or the Philippines! My wife is from the Philippines...
With my insurance my dental work will cost me about 20,000 dollars I paid about 850 dollars un mexico, nice job...that was on march 2019 went Back for cleaning on noviember little more work... 2,700 pesos which about 115...dollars
I had similar work done in Ensenada. It was a little more expensive than you paid but it was much closer to the US.
Gosh It's probably worth going to Mexico to have my Teeth worked on it looks amazing. I can afford to go to a Dentist here in the Philadelphia area I need one so badly, I wonder if it's worth the trip the have my teeth work done. I'm amazed.
Oh shishhhhh We just used the last of our savings to get my wife's upper denture put in. It was another part that she lost in the accident..... At least she has a beautiful smile now. Haven't seen it since the wreck.
Could have got my teeth fixed!!! My bottom teeth are almost gone from grinding my teeth in my sleep..... Gotta get south soon :)
Equipment looks very modern...
Ha ha i like your videos !!! You make-me happy to by mexican ...
Calmate maldito perro.
😊
.........congrats on your new smile.........😁
Here in Florida I just had a root canal on one tooth and a half @$$#$% filling after that and it ran to nearly $2000.00 .... That was for one tooth..... I have another tooth I need a root canal on and a crown and they want $2850.000 I told them to forget it.... They said what if it starts hurting?... I said I will yank it out, I am 80 years old and do not plan to take $$$$thousands of dollars dental work to the grave with me....
Bill Evans 😂😂😂😂OMG,,,that’s true but please take care of yourself.
Bill Evans yes Florida Is Hella High When It Come To Dental Work They Want 20k Plus I Need Braces So Basically All Together 35k For Everything Lol They Can Hang It Up
You know a good crown job here in the U. S. is around $700 to well over a thousand dollars. I have heard a Mexican crown job is only about $8 to $16. WHAT???? ... So that’s one of the reasons most people are “ sneaking” over the border. You can live like a king over there on very little. The trick is to save up as much as you can here in the US and take it to Mexico and live in lifelong luxury. Sounds like a good place to retire. I’m going to Mexico!
Crowns here are not that cheap. Around $200. Also, nobody has to "sneak over the border" going south into Mexico. Its a very welcoming country for all.
JC Travel Stories .....Check out “Tangerine Travels” Where they compare dentist prices in Mexico. I think it was 100 pesos for major dental work . ....What I meant by “sneaking over” is if your legal ( not running away) you don’t have anything to worry about and of course you can enjoy the wonderful people and scenery. of Mexico. and what’s more is a US dollar will buy about 17 pesos , so you can live very , very well. Mexico is a great place to visit, live and even retire❤️👍🏻 Enjoy your stay!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@JCTravelStories oh gee, you mean we don't have to hire a coyote to bring us in? Lol I feel sorry for people paying all their savings to come here and get dumped in the desert with no food or water.
This is fascinating! Thank you for sharing. How have they been holding up?
So far better than the ones I was born with. Also, the upper front two I got in Mexico in 2002.
Thank you for the videos.hiw can i reach you to get information on dental implsnts and crown cost.
Thank you for your good videos
Ahmed
Hey dude... (cowboy slang) like the shirt... bought two similar for hubster
Whether ppl like it or NOT price matters as well as quality if care...
Thanks JC. Now you can smile and show off your new teeth... :-)
Madeleine Reilly ...😬😀, how's that?
Thank you for your youtube videos, thoroughly enjoy what you share. I liked what you said about your PAINLESS needle sticks. I info as I have mercury a root canel and crown that contain metal that I need to get out of my mouth. Does your dentist use cubic zercona type materials instead of metals? Thank you, Angie in Rye, Colorado
If you want to call my dentist and ask dental questions send me a personal email. jc.travel.stories@gmail.com
Very informative. Do you have any info on physical therapists and chiropractors in Mexico? Also, acupuncturists. I have some back issues and would like to know what they have on offer down there. They seem to be pretty up-to-date on dentistry. And the price is right! Lol Thank you. Enjoy your videos. Very nice family inclusion too. God bless.
nice house ! I would like to see your house !
O.O $1400? Wow. Sign me up! That's not bad, because here that would have been $12,000 total for all of the procedures over several weeks. With dental insurance, $4800.
Yep. :)
great video, thanks for all the information. can you send/share how you discovered/chose the dentist you used👍 thanks in advance Eric 😁
Eric Cowan ... I've been to a few different dentists around town. I chose this one because its got state of the art equipment, and its close to my house. Also, on the staff are several different experts so its a one stop shop for every procedure you might need. And they are young dentists. They know new stuff that dentists who went to school 10 years ago would be having to catch up on.
Can you send me the info of the dentist, Im gonna be there in a few months and would like to get some work done. Thanks, and love your youtube channel. keep up the amazing work.
+Luis G ... I don’t post public recommendations for doctors, dentists, or plumbers because it starts debates in my comments about who’s is the best. Send me a private email.
jc.travel.stories@gmail.com
I have an amazing dentist in Gdl and had a crown put in for 100 dls painlrss and she has a lovely clinic /office
Shaggy2016 Flores ... Yes, as I said in the video, Ajijic is not the least expensive in Mexico.
hey shaggy - could you post her info?
Shaggy2016 Flores please, her info , nanetona2000@yahoo.com. Would really appreciate it. Key words... o pain. Thank you very much.
That was really interesting how they made your teeth
