Dental advice?

A couple years ago I had a 5 tooth bridge done by Dr Rocio - about 1/4 the cost quoted by our Hawaii dentist. Our insurance would have paid about 50% after the deductible. Dr. Rocio filled out my dental claim forms that I printed from the website - insurance paid 50% of Rocio's charges. I was very happy with her work and the savings.

There's an idea I hadn't thought of. I lost a filling in Zihua a few years ago, and had a temporary one done for 500 pesos, including x-rays. My dental insurance plan back home reimbursed me 90% of that.
So, let's see: if Zihua dental prices run around 1/3 of those NOB.....and my insurance will reimburse me 50% of the Zihua price, (50% for bridges, etc) then that would appear to be the most economical way to go.

Thanks for everyone's input.
