So, if you have an idea what teeth (the tooth number) need to be fixed, call around for an estimate. You think it'll cost $2400 here? Find out what it would cost in TJ. And I'm serious, I did not have to walk around in TJ at all. Taxi to doc, taxi from doc. Easy peasy.
In the US, my fixings would have been 4x1600 (4 crowns front teeth) 2x 800 (2 sep root canals) 200 (Bleaching) 100 (cleaning) 300 (cavities).
So..it would have been around $8500 here. It cost me the travel costs of $350 (above rounded up) and about $3500 for the work.
I paid 3850 for 8500 worth of work.
I know the first reaction is omg travel costs money omg. But look into it. The part of San Diego I was in is called San Ysidro. It's walking distance, about 1mi from the motel to the border. You show your passport, get in, hey taxi, done.
And the motel had AC. It was 75, 80F in San Diego when I was there. It was 95+ in Seattle, where I had to return to. With no AC. Seriously. Look.
