Pre-Stage Planning I have not even been to the clinic yet, which is in Istanbul, but my interactions with Maria have been very informed and wonderful. I research everything before making a decision. This comment is mostly to address the racist, hateful and ignorant remark made by D.fiore. That review should be taken down due to hate speech. Obviously prejudiced against women and other races of people. If you are so biased, why didn't you get it done in your own country??? I hope that TRUSTPILOT will notice your review and refer to their guidelines. It is highly offensive.

Dental 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.

Strung me along for over two months and screwed me on my flights and hotel Their reps 'chatted' me up for over two months telling me confirmed details from the dentist in question and then when I finally talked directly to the dentist - AFTER - he and the reps told me to book my dates/appts/travel --- then told a different story so I lost money on flights and hotels and had to find my own dentist. --- ANOTHER rep also set me up with another dentist stating they could get me in and then when I spoke directly with that dentist - same story: changed the entire decision about what or when they could do it and over the course of 2.5 months of discussing this, the prices also changed. Big surprise. Don't deal with them. They lie. -- and worse; zero empathy for your situation nor consideration for financial loss. Not once, after asking multiple times, was I able to talk to anyone in an authoritative position. Who the hell runs this sham anyway?

Sketchy interaction on their website They refused to give me the dental office's contact information. She said she couldn't give me a quote for just the installation of braces, that it has to include monthly maintenance in Mexico. I said I live in Canada, I only need the installation, she then said .. who knows maybe that quote is just the cost of installation. That quote was easily six times the installation cost in Mexico. She gave me a quote for regular cleaning, I then asked for a prophylaxis cleaning quote. One second, she didn't know what it was, the next she second she's telling me that it's the quote she just gave me. Who would travel for a procedure or dental work not knowing how much it cost.

Only 5 Star Reviews? Ha! I wrote Dental Departure and asked why there were only 5 star reviews. No response. Looking through all of the reviews of the different clinics I have found no 4 star reviews, no 3 star, no 2 star and no 1 star reviews. That's not right. One other reviewer wrote the Dental Departure deleted all the negative reviews. I believe that.
