GBDental Departures Guadalajara Disaster In late 2022 I began looking for a dentist in Guadalajara. I ended up being referred to BEYOND DENTAL AESTHETICS by Dental Departures. I had seen dentists in the US and I felt that because of the expense and amount of damage, extractions and 4 on one both upper and lower would be the best route. The dentist at BEYOND DENTAL AESTHETICS convinced me that many teeth were salvageable and with root canals,crowns, 6 implants and veneers I would have a great outcome. I can provide further detail if you are interested but let me just say : I first flew to Guadalajara in January 2023..15 months later, after spending $408-449 for air fare for 3 trips $379-519 for hotels 3 times, numerous Ubers, 2 full mouth ex-rays ($76-100usd, they don't have this equipment in their clinic) , enduring surgery without anesthesia, paying BEYOND DENTAL AESTHETICS $18800, I had 2 implants. The doctor told me they hadn't placed any of the other 4 implants, including my two top front teeth because the earlier bone graft had failed.After spending 3 weeks over 9 months and at minimum $23000, I was to be leaving there with 2 implants. I was leaving my 3rd visit with a very unnatural appearing partial on my two front teeth, 2 teeth missing on my top and lower arch, bottom front veneers they'd redone (because they had come off within days of application while I ate jello) that were thick and unnatural looking. In the ensuing months the veneer on my upper right bicuspid has come off leaving a glaringly dark contrast to the adjacent veneer and preventing me from smiling. The lower middle 3 teeth with the blocky veneers have receded back from my other teeth giving me a bulldog-like under bite. The doctor apologized and said she would pay for my flight and hotel to return in JANUARY and fix everything beautifully. I left numb. Yesterday I contacted her. She NOW says my 4 implants and crowns can all be done beautifully in 2 more trips and for $6000 usd more! I will pay for the first trip and she will pay for the last. I have several friends who have had 4 on 1's and full mouth restorations in Cancun and Algodones. None ever m isade more than 2 trips, paid over (at most) $14,000 and all the work looks good and they are very happy. I am not against getting dental work done in Mexico.But be very careful and in my experience you should absolutely avoid DENTAL DEPARTURES and. BEYOND DENTAL AESTHETICS in Guadalajara.

GBnightmare in turkey Written on: 12/03/2020 by lance wharton (1 review written) I applied to have dental all on 4 and was quoted a price for this to be done in Turkey. I was told it would be done under sedation as I have a massive fear of dentists. I was told all my original teeth would be extracted and all on 4 fitted and the. I would go back in 4 months for the permanent ones. But it never happened without consulting me on the day they did sinus lifts and wanted another 2000 euros. No sedation. Then they filed my teeth and did crowns that were all splintered. They made the crowns in one day and fitted them badly. These are permanent emax crowns and they made 16 in 1 day. Not my mouth hurts stop after 16 days and the crowns do not fit well at all. None of the treatment was sedated which I paid extra for. Please avoid at all costs.

GBI have been a patient at Alamo Dental… I have been a patient at Alamo Dental in Los Algodones Mexico on three occasions, most recently this past week. I have only very positive things to say, I had Dr Angel all three times, very informative, and very easy to talk to. On this last trip I had a tooth pulled and chose to have a bone graft done. This procedure was done by Dr Gaby, again very informative and thorough. I would highly recommend Alamo dental for any work.

GBThe company is a complete scam The company is a complete scam! They referred me to One Destination Clinic. The told me that the owner would be the one that would be doing all in four implants. I ended up with a person that looked to be in his 20's. all my implants got infected and had to be removed. They tried to put crowns of infected implants Please do not use this company

GBDon't walk......run from these guys Don't walk......run from these guys! I had a consultation with Luis (no medical background) and he sold me on going to Supreme Dental in Los Algodones Mexico......I was sold a bill of goods that was so far from the truth....now i am paying the price. I spent over $9k on crowns and 2 root canals (the root canals i did not need and according to my Dentist in Atlanta were totally unnecessary)...... within 24 hours once i got home 2 of my crowns have fallen out, and my bite is so far off that i now have to get all of my upper crowns removed and replaced by my Dentist at a cost of $21K!!!.....should have never made the initial call to Dental Departures...lessoned learned on my part.....PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!
