whom would be the preferred Dentist for a Bridge replacement

Thank you for your input.
I never thought of an implant to replace the bridge, do you mind telling me what an implant costs?

Implant dentistry is changing dramatically. I had a single implant done around 2006. In “2021” I had two implants done to replace a bridge. (It actually started just before the March 2020 pandemic proclamation which delayed things.)

The 2006 procedure required me to go to Victoria,BC because it could not be done in Duncan, BC. I had to take sedation that made me legally impaired from driving for 24 hours.

In 2021 I had the more involved procedure done in Duncan with local anesthesia.

I don’t recall the costs, but the 2021 cost for much more involved work was no more than the 2006 work.

Of course, costs in Mexico would be much lower.

One consideration is that getting an implant requires multiple visits. My first implant took several visits over probably three months. My second implants took longer. I think a person considering having the work done in Mexico would want to get a good understanding of how many times, and when, they would need to be at the dentist’s office.
