PORTIMOM Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Of those dentists recommended above... How does each complete a root canal (do they send you to a specialist or do the work themselves)? How many of you have had root canals done, and experienced long term (years) success with that work? Same above question for posts (vs root canals). Good info to have prior to work being required. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 For folks in or near Chapala, Dr. Alberto Cuevas does excellent and affordable work. He is across from the gas station near Soriana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoraAzul Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have had fillings, root canals, crowns, posts and one extraction at Dr. Candy's, and I intend to go back for an implant. She doesn't do the more complicated work herself; she brings in a specialist from Guadalajara (can't remember his name) but the work is performed in her office. I'm very satisifed with her and with the specialist. She speaks English well enough to explain your options in detail. I have been going to her for over 3 years and up to now, all procedures have been successful. Both she and the specialist are very gentle. She is my second Lakeside dentist. My husband, on the other hand, has been going to Dental Express. They have done crowns and repaired implants which came loose (the implants were not originally put in Lakeside). I think Dental Express may be a little cheaper but I'm staying with Candy because she has a proven track record with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Also Dra. Candy was sent all expenses paid by a company last year to S. Korea for special implant training, class room and hands on. They are also sending her to Italy for more implant training, all expenses paid. She has a specialist come from Guadalajara to do root canals so they are done correctly. As far as her English, it is perfect. No problema.

rogerm Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Why would Dra Candy need to go half way around the world to South Korea or Italy for training when she can get it right here in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Why would Dra Candy need to go half way around the world to South Korea or Italy for training when she can get it right here in Mexico. I believe the answer is found in the "all expenses paid by the company" part of the story. A company that can send medical professionals on all-expense paid trips around the world is going to have very loyal customers in those grateful professionals. That is my guess anyway.

coopercj Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I have been watch this since I plan on getting a couple of crowns. I am in Guadalaljara and this web site claims to be the dental association and sets out their prices. http://www.dentalassociationofguadalajara.com/Prices.html The prices seem lower.

Al Berca Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Article is from 2013 and is in USD. At 16:1, if prices have not changed, a root canal would be 1600 pesos, porcelain crowns 3840 each and implants 7872 each, not including two hours or more on the road to have it done in GDL.
