Our second visit to Los Algodones for dental work was as wonderful as our first. Although our own work was just a follow up visit and just required one day, we brought a friend down who desperately needed work done. She had not been to the dentist in many years. She is in her late 60s and was terrified of dentists from earlier experiences. I was confident that she would be impressed and she was. We had of course prepared her for a different, less opulent experience than we have in our expensive dental offices here in Canada. We felt such confidence and caring from our first big experience in early Nov/2014 that we knew she would also feel this way. They discovered she needed 2 root canals and 24 crowns. Now, as daunting as that sounds, I was in there when she was given the diagnosis. They offered to do her work in part or the whole thing depending on her finances. The price they offered was incredible. $4600 US. Her mouth was a mess and I saw the xrays. They took 4 days only. Yes they were long days and she wasn't pain free. However, with pain meds and a relaxant to help her thru those days, she is home with a sparkling smile and a healthy mouth. I wish more people knew about Sani Dental. My son recently was told he needed 6 crowns here in Canada. Even with both his wife's and his own Dental Plan, his portion will be $6000! I wish he could go down and get his work done there and forget the dental plan. My husband and I are thrilled to bits with our teeth. My teeth were not bad but didn't look nice. So not only was mine more cosmetic, but I don't have to worry about these crowns for years and years. Yes I have to get 6mo ck ups but I know there will probably be no emergency dental work in a long time. I feel I am good till the grave!!! haha My husband had very little bone in his bottom jaw. He was so hoping for implants. They told him that maybe when the Dental World evolves newer methods for people with this problem, he will have hope. Until then they had to give him dentures. With seven extractions and full dentures he has a happy smile. We had to return in Jan to have the relining done. My appointment was because I lost my mouth guard and they made me a new one for $70. I loved sitting in their waiting room and watching people come out and hearing their stories and look at their new smiles. I loved going into my husband's dentist, Dr Comanich and asking questions that Ken had forgotten to ask. He really wanted us to go home with no unanswered questions. The Hacienda, where we stayed was fun, as we listened to everyone's stories in the courtyard during the afternoon after everyone was back. The meals were good and we were looked after with any questions we had. A cold snap happened while there but they brought in extra heaters and the deep blue sky made up for it all. We loved our experience and there are several friends who plan on coming down. I hope they bring me with them because I love it there.
