You watch how NOYB changes his tune if people start taking the trek to
Mexico for cheap dental care along with a vacation. Seems he doesn't
have any problem with computer tech jobs going offshore, we'll see how
it is with offshore medical care. Course, by the time it starts
happening, it will be to late. Lets see Mr High and mighty squeal
when he's competing with Mexican dentists.

Most MDs are pill pushers, but DD's are messing with your mouth. You use
your mouth for more purposes than anyother part of your body and I find it
hard to believe that you would let just anybody do anything to it.

You think Mexican water can make you sick? Try putting Mexican dental
instruments in your mouth!

There are people who go to Mexico for cheap dental care now. I know,
because I've seen them here after-the-fact to correct the atrocities
committed in their mouths.

I don't do gold jacket crowns on front teeth...so I won't have many Mexican
competitors.

However, I do have a wealthy Mexican man and his wife who have done a little
over $30,000 in dentistry with me. They would fly in almost weekly from
Cancun for their appointments. The wife had already completed nearly that
much work in her mouth while in Mexico. Surprisingly, the work was
first-rate...but the Mexican dentist's fees were higher than mine!

Costa Rica is the hot spot for dental care in the world. First rate,
about 10% what the U.S. money hungry dentists are charging. I'd bet
that the Costa Rican dentist might have some compassion for their
patients well-being, also, not just their patient's money.

I very much doubt the fee's are 10%. Looked at the prices in Costa Rica?

Before you jump and call names, read the posts, if you please.

I'm not calling names, just stating facts. And your posts have become
just more predictable boring fact-free BushCo cheerleading. At this
point I read very few of yours or Nobby's posts.

DSK

Please point to some (or one) of my cheerleading posts. I don't recall
ever 'cheerleading'. I may have pointed out just how fallacious some
of the anti-Bush tripe is, but that's not cheerleading.

When someone says that American soldiers purposely target innocent
women and children and villages for bombing in Iraq, I will present my
feelings on the subject. If you call this cheerleading, then I assume
that you consider any post which is not 'anti-Bush' a cheerleading
post.

John H


Do you ever have anything other than simple-minded thoughts, John?

I will never approach your level of acumen and intellectual integrity,
Harry.

Costa Rica is the hot spot for dental care in the world. First rate,
about 10% what the U.S. money hungry dentists are charging.

I used a lab about 3 years ago that outsourced its crowns to Costa Rica.
The cost of the crowns were half what other labs charged. The first crown I
got back was beautiful...and the fit was perfect. The next one I got from
them fit so poorly, I thought they sent me a crown meant for another
patient. I sent it back, and got one back that didn't fit at all. The lab
apologized and offered to make my next crown at no charge if I'd give them
another chance. That time, they lost the crown...and then found it a week
later. I went to put it in, and sure enough, it fit like socks on a
rooster.

When I asked them how the first crown could have been done so well, and the
other two were below even the lowest standard of quality, this is what they
told me:

"25% of our crowns are done in the US...and the other 75% are sent to Costa
Rica. The first one was done at our lab in the US."

I told 'em I wanted 'em all done in the US, and they told me the rate would
be different.

Their response: "You're on the pot luck plan if you want the lower fee.
Although *some* crowns may be made here, most will go to Costa Rica."

That lab went out of business 2 years ago.

read the same Reader's Digest article...

FWIW--There are several implant manufacturers in the World. The same
companies sell the Costa Ricans the same implants that they sell to us. The
fees for the implant, retaining screws, healing cap, healing collar,
impression post, analog, pre-fab abutment, and the crown total about $800.
That doesn't include the doctor time needed to place the implant, uncover
the implant after healing, take the crown impression, make the temporary,
and seat the crown. There is no way you can get an implant placed for $500
less than the cost of the parts and pieces alone.
