I am in need of a series of dental procedures.

My likely choices would be Columbus NM/Las Palomas, Douglas AZ/Agua Prieta, Naco AZ/Naco, and Yuma AZ/Los Algodones.

The only criteria I have now is location convenience. Ignoring that, which of these is favored for best dental care at best prices?

Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I went to Algodones today for a 3 crown bridge at a highly recommended dentist. Walked in, without an appointment, was in the chair in 10 minutes, the prep work was done and a temporary on in less than an hour. Go back next Friday for the permanent bridge, that our American dentist wanted $3900 for and it will cost $540 at Dr Marquez, our new Mexican dentist. Same excellent service and guarantee as in the US, at 1/6 the cost. His price list is on his website.

Having been to all these places (not all for dental) I would favor Los Algodones for any of the services (pharmacy, optical, dental, etc) since there seem to be many more of these services and thus more competition. I would put Nogales (not on your list) as number 2.

Los Algodones for the very reasons that Harry gave. We have both had dental work done there and very satisfied.

I was quoted a price of $22K for a procedure that Clear Choice Dental calls the "4 in one" which is 4 implants that support a full set of teeth for the upper jaw. Has anyone had a similar procedure south of the border? What was the cost and results? I need some new teeth, but $22K is a bit expensive for me.
