Both my friend and I need extensive dental work. Her insurance covers none of it and my insurance covers about an eighth of what I need. We are considering traveling to either Tijuana or Cancun instead of having the work done locally.

I am looking for people that have experienced medical/dental tourism. Was it all you thought it would be? Were you able to enjoy your destination? Any words of advise?

Thank you for any input you have to offer.

We have a friend that went to Bangkok for dental work, and they did a beautiful job. If you decide on Bangkok I'll try to get a name for you.
