Dental Implants

My husband and I are considering traveling to Mexico for dental implants. I was involved in a DV situation when I was 19 and my top four front teeth were severely damaged.

I’ve had root canals, all of them failed. Two of my front teeth were rebuilt with resin/liquid plastic. One has since broken at the gum, both are rotting. The other teeth are also slowly rotting and chipping. Recent x-rays show that I don’t have any bone loss. I was quoted $15,000 just to have the front teeth pulled and another $24,000 for the lowest grade implant option.

I am 34 years old and own a business with a small social media following. My teeth are my biggest insecurity and a very painful reminder of past abuse suffered from a previous relationship.

That said, we can’t afford dental implants here in the U.S, even with insurance and a discount program. We’ve looked into dental implants for DV survivors, but the programs I’ve found require extensive information including police reports that don’t exist.

If anyone could share their experience getting dental implants in Mexico and/or where you got it done, I would truly appreciate it.
