I didn't go specifically for dental work, just happened to get some while down there. I got some cleaning done in Hermosillo. It was good quality work and for extremely cheap. The office was professional and very clean.
I live in southern AZ so going to Mexico isn't that bad travel wise. Oregon is extremely far though. Also i suggest that since your getting some pretty complex work done, get it done here. If something goes wrong here, insurance, law suits etc.. can be your best friend. No such thing over there

I have had dental surgery done in Guadalajara. It worked out really well. I had it done by someone who actually worked as a professor at the local university. I went in with my x rays and explained to him what had been explained to me here. He knew exactly what needed to be done and was done with the procedure in about 15 minutes. I had absolutely no issues with anything and I felt great after. The cost for my tickets and the procedure were way less than a third of the cost for it here. I have family there though that directed us in the right direction and had prior experience with the Dr.
It's something I would totally recommend as an option though but you have to factor in the cost of EVERYTHING including the number of followup trips necessary. Luckily with my extraction no followup was necessary except with my orthodontist here in the states so it worked out great. Really just try to do as much research as possible. In this day and age you should at least be able to find some information of different places and locations that maybe specialize in catering to tourists coming for medical procedures.

i dont know what kind of insurance you have but just the root canal could take up most if not all for the year.
your insurance plan might consider the implant "cosmetic" and not cover the procedure.

Smh at some of y'all bagging Mexico...
Not dental, but my old boss' wife got told she had terminal cancer and they couldn't operate. She researched the ##%* out of everything, went to Tijuana and got treated. Five years later she's still cancer free. She's on some crazy health thing now, but damn. Don't count places out just because of what you've heard.
