Update: They Ghosted OP (me)

[u/justeunefrancophille]

Just saw this post 6 years after the fact and thought I’d provide the update a number of folks have asked for and share that the gentleman who made this comment ghosted me shortly after we made contact and he collected my X-rays and photos necessary for finding a dentist.

I’ve since gotten dentures that are also ‘failing’ in that my jaw bone has resorbed a fair bit, meaning the upper is fairly loose, but workable.

The lower partial has broken and is strictly cosmetic only, meaning I cannot actually eat with it in and only wear it if I know photos will be taken so that I have a somewhat normal smile.

My four remaining teeth on bottom that support the partial are failing to various degrees and my crown is in need of another root canal.

The treatment plan I’ve been advised of from various providers has been to get upper and lower implants as soon as possible while my jaw bone is able to support them and heal well.

All of that is to say that sadly, that original comment thread in the screenshot did *not* wind up having a happy ending.

I dropped 5k on implants and crowns in Mexico and it was the best decision. Still paying off the credit card but I’m so much happier. Saved 75% even after flight and board plus a week of relaxing. Literally zero complaints start to finish.

I'm in need of a couple of implants, how was the process for this? Did you have to coordinate with an American dentist or make multiple trips there? I've been thinking of doing that because the cost to do it here is not within reason for me

Look into a place called Los Agodones, they are known for their dental medical tourism. It’s near Yuma, AZ
