I don't know what is meant by dental mills. I was in the dentist chair for 7 hours 1st day. 3 hours second day. When the crowns were done they took impressions of my teeth and the lower partial was completed and installed the next day. It would take months and thousands of more dollars to get the same thing in the US. One dentist did all the work and I was very pleased and recommend Sams Dental.
thanks Robert
Hello all, it's been about two years since my last trip to TJ but was thinking about making one to get some dental work done. I need a root canal and crown and was looking at Sam Dental in TJ online. Any experiences with using a dentist in TJ? Thanks
Make sure you have personal references too!
I've been going to dentists in Tijuana for years. As have friends of mine. Tijuana has some great dentists.
If you have actually gotten work done over there, could you please be so kind to provide me with a referral of the dentist you saw? I need some work done bad and I dont have insurance. This will be out of pocket.
Thanks a bunch

He is an Oral Surgeon, but also does general dentistry. (Trained at Univ. of GDL--which is equivalent to most US medical schools, or so I've been told by a US physician.) He speaks excellent English.

Dental mills put a lot of pressure on their dentists to generate income. I went to a dental mill where the dentist told me I needed a root canal and a crown. I got a second opinion from a dentist in private practice who said I only needed a filling. Friends of mine have had similar experiences with dental mills, which is why I will never again go to a dental mill. And why I get second opinions before doing things like root canals and crowns. (In my experience, and that of my friends, dentists in private practice are more honest.)
Ten crowns is a lot of crowns--and a lot of money for the dental mill. Did you get a second opinion? Are you sure you really needed ten crowns?
