In the past few years, I had to replace some of my dental crowns, as they had been in my mouth for more than 30 years. There was no decay, but my gum line had receded from them and I did not like how they looked. I have always taken care of my teeth, and I did not want to have to resort to wearing dentures. I always remembered my mother telling me when I was younger to take care of my teeth, as she eventually wore dentures and was very unhappy with them in comparison to her own teeth that she had previously had but lost through wear and tear. Thus, I had a couple of crowns replaced here in Florida, and the cost of those crowns had cost me almost $1,500.00 each – a price that I simply wasn’t willing to pay again for my new dental work. So, I read and researched about Dental Tourism, and I thought, why not check it out and see what its all about. From the moment that I contacted The Find Health in Ecuador Clinic, they made the entire process very simple and easy for me. I flew into Guayaquil, Ecuador, and was picked up by their driver and brought to Cuenca. The next day I was taken to their Dental Clinic and I met with Dr. Andres. He spoke perfect English, and I confirmed him the dental work I wanted done. I wanted one crown replaced and I also wanted a three-unit bridge replaced. My cost here in the U.S. was quoted to me by my dentist at more than $7,000, but my cost in Ecuador was a total of only $800 – an incredible difference that “far better” than paid for my airfare, hotel and trip expenses for my vacation In Ecuador itself! My dentist in the U.S. is also very nice, but naturally I did not like the prices quoted by her Florida dental office. As I have no dental insurance and am retired, I simply did not want to shell out that kind of money. We began the work on a Thursday morning, and the following Monday afternoon, the dental work was completed at a mere fraction of the cost, and without any discomfort whatsoever (I didn’t even require an injection to numb my gum, how I had needed in the past with my Florida dentist). I am now already back in the U.S., and so I had a wonderful vacation in Ecuador, as well as my dental work completed, all for “less than” the cost of if I had stayed in the U.S. and gotten my dental work at my usual dentist’s office in Florida. I cannot say enough good things about how well I was treated by the Find Health in Ecuador staff, and about the quality of the dental work I received at their Clinic. I would recommend that before anyone begins expensive dental work in the U.S., they should check out other avenues available to them, such as a lovely vacation being a great excuse to get dental work done in another country by perfectly well English speaking dentists (just like one’s own dentist in the U.S., but at an 80-90% lower cost). With much gratitude to Find Health in Ecuador!
