Doctors & Dentists

Of all places, guess where I found an english speaking female dentist with reasonable rates. At a dental consultorio at Coto in Abasto which is just beside the Abasto Mall. The name of the dentist is Dra. Yanina (pretty by dentist's standard) They have a schedule of their rates so getting charged the gringo rate is not possible because you can always consult their published rates. Her dental assistant is super hot as in a 9. Threre are 3 dentists in the office and Dra. Yanina is the only one who speaks english. Her clinic hours are in the afternoons of Wednesday and Thursday.

Hello,

I'm looking for recent experiences with dentist in BA for teeth bleaching and crown replacment.

Thanks

Has anyone gotten glasses in BA? I'm wondering if there is any monetary advantage to getting it done compared to the states. I'd need an eye exam as well.

JC,

I've priced them at a few places and found the prices high. Passed. You mentioned SJO, Costa Rica recently. Great deals there. Titanium frames, progressive and transitional for $155us.

I probably should have gotten some in the Philippines last year, but I wasn't going to be in Manila long enough.

Let see, my next locations are going to be after BA: Jakarta, Colombo, Bangkok, Singapore, and Johannesburg. I guess I could always just get them done at Costco.:(

[QUOTE=Sidney]Good or bad and cost?[/QUOTE]I've had my right one scoped x3 and reconstructed once. But not in BA. PM me if you have any questions about the procedure.

I bought a pair and they matched my prescription. But that was three years ago, and prices have gone way up.

Yes, prices in the US are crazy. I usually get all my dental work done in Costa Rica, but it's nice to know that local dentists are affordable, and competent.

I have some serious dental problems and went there initial for a root canal. An assistant did the root canal for 150 pesos including xray and full exam. When the first dentist saw that my mouth was a mess, dr lee came in for a free.

Consultation. He sent me around the corner for a panaramic x-ray[80 pesos] and then dr lee spent 45 minutes withme discussing structual problems with my mouth. He wewnt through my miami dentist's plan and criticed it. He offerred a referral to a dentist in miami. I asked if he could all the work in a series of 2 week visits. He said yes because he owns the lab that builds the bridges and crowns. He charges 25% of his LA prices for work done in ba. His complete plan to rebuild aLL OF MY PRIOR DENTAL WORK WITH IMPLANTS IS 30,000. Pesos IN MIAMI WITH CLIP-INS THE ESTIMATE WAS US$22,000. AND WITH IMPLANTS US$45,000. TO 55,000.

My new portena girl friend has a bridge for 20 years that he installed and 4 implants that he did 7 or 8 years ago. Per portena girl firend dr lee is 50% more expensive than the average dentist. He does the work for media people.
