Implants are Elizabeth's specialty. I am 5 weeks into my 6 months waiting for the implant to take. I recommend her very highly.
My sweetie had his root canal started there yesterday by her in house endodontist. Also very highly recommended.

Thanx. Could I ask how much cost? Pesos or US dollars.
Total for everything, 30,000 pesos. Half in the beginning, half at the end.

How many implants were done?
One, and the removal of a root canal that had fractured.

Thanx Tally Ho. Did you pay extra for the 3D xrays?
We have a quote here in Ixtapa Cerio Dental for 35,000 pesos

That price was for everything, out the door. We did not price shop, we went for the most experienced oral surgeon that we could trust. Twice a year she goes to international workshops to stay up to date.
The charge for the endodontist for the root canal was a whopping 3,000 pesos.

The Dentist here in Ixtapa is a implant specialist also, so that was great and his reviews were good. We just wondered about other options. Would be worth it to go to Zihuatanejo for 6000 pesos. We pay separately for the xray here.
I am sure that you can get an implant done by a dentist here for considerably less than either of us are paying. Most dentists advertise that they do implants.
However, sometimes you get what you pay for!

For something that you hope to have for the rest of your life, an extra MXN$6,000 pesos should not be the deciding factor, in my humble opinion. Get the best recommendation that you can find. Don't be afraid to ask the dentist for the names and numbers of current and past patients. One strategy that I use is to ask for two or three clients that will say the best about the individual and for two or three clients that were not overly impressed with his or her services.
Good Luck!

I also had Dr Elizabeth Ortiz do one implant for myself. Very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable and the implant feels great. Explained everything in detail and I know Dr. Ortiz is an excellent choice.
