My Story

You need to know about a real alternative for dental care. I have used my years of dealing with this issue for my family and myself to offer you an incredible cost saving choice. I have found the best alternative available then made it easy, reliable and safe.

I have been to two countries for dental work and saved over $7,000.

I have talked to lots of patients that have saved over $20,000.

As you will read here, I was so impressed with my new family dentist Dr. Gabriela Bastidas and some of her peers that I started this company to share it with you and your family.

This opportunity for you is easier than flying overseas. It is safe and it is guaranteed. You sleep in the USA every night yet have the benefits of low cost healthcare only available in another country.

My own story starts few years ago while living in Florida. Our family operated quite well after we decided not to continue our dental coverage. Time passed and our dental work became something we always put off. When our local magazine named the best dentists in our city, I decided to go to the top rated one. After only two visits and over $300 nothing really happened except x-rays, cleaning and more appointments to do the real work... and on and on. I was looking at OVER $4,000 of work for the two of us. Just as importantly I wanted MY TIME to be respected.

In my reading I came across articles about the great, reasonably priced dental work, south of the border. I was reading about the people flying overseas for medical and dental treatments from skilled doctors and dentists some of whom were trained in America. In preparation for my trip I found one of the few bilingual and internet savvy dentists then booked. I went in and despite our inability to speak the others language we did pretty well. But instead of the expected root canal, he performed a tooth extraction, filled some cavities and put on a temporary crown.

How much would that cost you at your dentist’s office?
It cost me under $300.

Ok two years pass. I have moved and I am now living in Arizona. Dental work has become very important for my family. I am looking at a $5,000 to $8,000 bill for three of us.

A family friend came by the house one day and we were talking about dentists. She said to us, why not come down to Mexico with me and we will get you an appointment with my dentist. She does all my work for the past few years and she is wonderful.
I was not interested it seemed unsafe to me. I had heard that Mexico was not the place to go for medical procedures. She was insistent. As she made more points she added, "It is so cheap it is worth the drive and the inconvenience". I said, "No way I am going to Mexico for any medical work".

The friend insisted until we all went.

The drive down to Los Algodones was three hours. From there we walked into Mexico just like that. Walking around the little town we navigate through a maze of booths, stores and a barrage of sales people until we arrived at a small little office in a medical plaza. In fact the whole plaza and much of the town was filled with dentist offices. I was surprised to see hundreds of Americans going to get their dental and vision and pharmacy needs met. It was a real eye opener.
I met our new dentist in her small but clean office. All the equipment was modern and clean, her many certifications and degrees were on the wall easy to read, and as the day progressed and each of us took our turn she was competent and easy to work with. All that work was done that day except for follow up visits for the permanent crowns. Instead of paying over $3,000 or $5,000 or $8,000, I paid under $1,000.

When she handed me the bill I was shocked. I must tell you it is the first time I could not wait to get the money out of my pocket before she changed her mind. I could not wait to pay her.

Soon I was the one talking to friends and neighbors wanting to share my new found knowledge with them. I kept talking about our experience and sending people down there. The more I returned the more people I talked to. I met others who already had been going down to this small little town for years and relied on it as a major part of their personal healthcare.
