Some people of limited means I know in who live New Mexico patronize a dental clinic in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. They stay in a hotel in El Paso, Texas and a van operated by the clinic takes them across the border to the clinic and back. Prices are cheap. Work is done far more quickly than in the USA. They are happy with the results.

On the other hand I have known and used a gardener from Mexico (a naturalized US citizen) for over 20 years. He still has family down there and visits frequently. Nonetheless, he adamantly refuses to see a Mexican dentist. He does not trust them to use the right materials and probably otherwise.

As for me, I will only go to the very best dentist I can find right here in USA.
