Thinking of going Bogota, Colombia for dental work...

Im confused, by the bold and newbie status I assume he is a spammer. Yet there are no links to a dental service or anything. Are the spammers getting more coherent? Are they trying to intiate themselves into the community first with a story of out of country dental work to get ATOTers to go to their columbian dental service?

I must go ponder the meaning of life.

Don't you guys find it kinda freakish that the only two people in this thread who are strongly advocating the idea have a very low post count and yet have been members here for quite a while? This dental business must surely mean a lot to them.

Frankly, I would go to Europe (Turkey and a couple of places in Bulgaria and Hungary being a prime choice) for this kind of stuff... Still cheaper than in the U.S., you see lots more, it's more civilised, and poses zero risks...

I know people who go to Poland for their dental work.

OP: How much it's going to cost for the dental work? Make sure you get it from a professional. If you go there, go to the US Embassy and let them know what you are up to. And, please don't be a mule or carrier for whatever they want you to take to the US.

I'll say this. I live in Houston, and am a Mexican-American currently self-employed. I don't have insurance right now as I am working from home temp. until I find a new job. Alot of my friends and family drive down to Mexico, 6-8 hour drive on the weekend to get thier dental work done for about 70% cheaper than here in Houston. Usually they go to a know family dentist that has worked on other friends or family members. But when your dental work is $2000 in the U.S. and you can drive for a few hours down to Mexico and save yourself $1400, I think its more than worth it. But you have to go to a well-known dentist who's been in practice for awhile. Don't expect to go and just find any dentist...... as always one must do thier research BEFORE a major operation.

Just go to Mexico D.F., Tijuana or Juarez

If you won't drink the tapwater in the country where you are having surgery, then you might wan't to rethink your choice.

Exactly. This is extremely common in TX, AZ, NM, CA. It's safe. It's cheap.
And your painkillers will be dirt cheap to boot.

Howdy,

It?s me again this is not a scam post, and I am in need of getting some major dental work done. I cannot afford the high price of getting my dental work done in the US, as the cost would exceed $10000.00 dollars.

I am a federal employee without dental coverage (I don't anticipate ever getting dental insurance from my job), I know that it?s pretty hard to believe but that's the way that it is.
Just to answer a few of the "questions" the reason for my low post count is that I don't spend all my free time reading forum posts and submitting useless post in order to increase the number of posts that I have to inflate my "cyber ego"!!!

I have been a member of an online car audio forum since 12/2000 and have about 140 posts on the site I'll ask a question when I need an answer or feel that I have something positive to contribute I'll post.

I know that I'll never be a Senior/Platinum or an Ultimate member or what ever is used to denote that type of person, but hay I am comfortable with that. I just wanted to post my situation, and get your opinion about dental work being preformed in a foreign country.

I have co-workers that are foreigners and expressed to me that the quality of dental work in there countries is excellent. Please advise if you have any knowledge about this situation.

I love America and I live my job I just cannot afford nor could I justify paying about $10,000.00 for work that I can have done for about one third of the price in another country.

That pretty sums it up for me.

Sorry if I stirred up some crap and some of you got bent out of shape, but that one is on you not me.

Before replying to this message push your chair back, and think before you start your typing. Will I be contributing to this post or am I just making an attempt to increase ego driven post count.
