CLINICA DENTAL OC ORALCARE - 45030 Zapopan

I was referred to this dental office from a friend of mine who lives in Guadalajara. I needed some dental work done and decided to head to Mexico. I heard good things and bad things about Mexican healthcare, so I decided to find out for muself. I made the appointment knowing that I needed at least one root canal. When I showed up to the office I was surprised how nice it was. The offices are much nicer than the dental offices I've been to in the States. I first went into Dr. Erendira Arreola's office. She gave me a thourough exam and told me what needed to be done. I had 6 teeth that needed work, including 1, possibly two root canals. She then went to work. I was in her chair for about 3 hours. She got rid of the cavitis on a few teeth and filled them up very nicely. She polished them perfectly. Then I was sent upstairs for the root canal with Dr. Abimael Marin Fernandez. He started on the root canal and realized that the tooth next to it also need a root canal. It was turning dark over the years and although it was not giving me any pain it was not a surprise to me that it needed done. His equipment seemed really high tech. I'm not a dentist but from what I could tell everything looked new and modern. It all looked newer and nicer than the equipment my dentists in the States use. They were bery sanitary, and changed their gloves often. The assistants were great also. Language was not a problem either. Dr. Erendira spoke great English. She has an accent but understanding her was not a problem. Dr. Abimael spoke great English with a little less accent. Now to be honest price was the main reason I was looking for dental care outside of the States. I researched dental prices in Mexico as well as other countries. I decided on this office based on a referral from friends that live in Guadalajara. I made the appointment and never discussed prices. When the final bill came I was very surprised. It was less than I had expected to pay. It was actually a bit less than what I had researched online. The cost of my dental work was not the biggest surprise I had. It was the service. They were not able to totally finish all the dental work I needed in one DAY. My appointment was on a Friday. So they just had me come back on Saturday to finish up another filling and polish the root canal fillings so my bite was good. Dr. Erendira is the master at adjusting fillings and polishing them up. In the States I've never had a dentist willing to do multiple fixes in a day. They always seem to want you to set numerous appointments. This office was all about getting it done and done right. These dentist will now be my family dentists. Every year we will take a vacation and come for dental visits. I recommend them 100%.
