The dental care here is outstanding and the prices generally ⅓ to ¼ of what is charged in the US.

There are even towns that cater completely to US visitors who come for dental work. Some provide housing, transportation and anything else you might need while having the work done.

I have never talked to an individual that was dissatisfied in any way with the work they had done here, though I'm sure there are some who were not completely satisfied.
