In business we had a saying: "We offer the highest quality, immediate delivery, and lowest price: pick two." We have been to a few dentists here. My wife had an infection stemming from a root canal improperly performed (not in Mexico). A triple root canal was only completed on one of the three roots. Every dentist could see it, but only one had the skill to drill through the crown, properly complete the root canal process, and cure the infection. That was Dr. Haro's root canal specialist, Dr. Diaz. He smoothly performed the micro-surgery and saved the tooth. The total cost for the initial examination, X-rays, surgery, and follow-up to close the tooth was MX$7,000 pesos; i.e. about $350. I don't know how "pricey" that appears, but when one's option is suffering an infection and losing the tooth, it appears quite affordable. If price is one's only criterion, quality may come in last.
