Hi Sheila, we've done 2 interviews with a dentist and a patient who went to Puerto Vallarta to get their treatment done.

Hi Amy, I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. The University of North Carolina has a student dental clinic: https://www.dentistry.unc.edu/patientcare/studentclinics/becomepatient/
Hi Christine, sorry to hear about your teeth issues. As you mentioned there are a few in San Francisco on this list, but I have been unable to find a dental school in Sacramento that does dental implants. The only school clinic I could find is at the Sacramento City College, but they don't do any restorative procedures (fillings, crowns, extractions, etc.)
Hi Joyce, sorry to hear about your situation. Please see our guide on how to save money on dental implants: https://www.dentalimplantcostguide.com/low-cost-options/
Hi Peter, thanks for leaving a comment and pointing out the confusing wording in that sentence. I have updated the wording to reflect that you will be able to get implants, but they may be at higher risk of failure than non-smokers/non-medically compromised patients. Here are a couple of studies that mention the increased risk: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17323728 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3894084/ "Clinician has to decide whether or not to commence implant treatment in high-risk situations, but once it is decided to go ahead, the patient's informed consent is essential before starting treatment." Good luck with your implant in Puerto Vallarta! Let us know how...
Hi Joseph, That is a good price for top and bottom full implant-supported dentures, but I would ask your dentist how well he thinks 2 implants can support an entire denture. A denture is usually supported by at least 4 implants per plate. This is known as the "All-on-4" procedure which you can learn more about here: https://www.dentalimplantcostguide.com/all-on-4/
Hi, We recently did an interview with Josh, a reader who got a CT scan done at a Hospital in Barcelona for 93 Euro, top 6 teeth extracted for 400 Euro in Ireland, bottom teeth extracted in Florida and implants placed in Budapest which should give you some insight on a multi-country approach to saving money on dental implants.
