Ed Reynolds | Calgary, Canada
This was my third visit to Ocean Dental. This time it was an EMERGENCY, as I had an abscessed molar and was in pretty much constant pain. The dentist in Calgary said it would be a complicated procedure because it was an old root canal with a post in it. The root canal alone was quoted at $3,000, NOT including the crown. I called Ocean Dental on Wednesday, and they made an appointment that same Saturday! So I made my short-notice travel arrangements and headed down. It turned out that ANOTHER molar was also in need of a root canal and crown (something my dentist in Calgary didn't notice). I got both root canals and crowns done for $2,000USD and was back in a week. I stayed in Hostel Moloch near the main bus station in Cancun, and easily took the bus to my visits, though they offered to pick me up. I enjoyed a nice, low-key visit to the charming city of Cancun, with trips to Isla Mujeres, and the fabulous beach Playa Delfines, all for about HALF of what my dental work would have cost in Canada, including airfare and accommodations. I'm looking forward to my next toothache! Lol.
