Just want to share my recent dentist experience here in La Paz. Long story short, I arrived in La Paz thinking I had a cavity in a root that is the
support tooth for a triple crown bridge (not good). I asked several people so not sure if it was Longlegs or Old Lady that recommended Dr.
Talamantes. He has state of the art equipment in a very clean and modern office. He said his normal fee is $4,000 pesos per crown, in my case I was
looking at $12,000 pesos, but said that if it broke during removal he would only charge me $8,000 pesos. He took an xray of the tooth, removed the
bridge (without breaking it, yeah!), found NO cavity (yeah again!), cleaned everything, recemented and I was out the door for $600 pesos! Dr.
Talamantes speaks perfect English and did a wonderful job. I would recommend him to my friends in a heartbeat. He's also a cutie pie!

Both he and his son are very good. Most of us here use him and have for years. He did two crowns for me. Here's his card:

I would also like to recommend a dentist in La Paz, his name is Evaristo Gonzales Becerra and his office is on Sonora (he's in the phone book). I've
been seeing him for the last 10 years or so. One my first visit he rebuilt my entire mouth, removing the old amalgam and replacing all of it with new
material, and I have a s***load of cavities. He charged me less than $800.00 US. Great guy!

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll add them to my notes.

We folks living in Los Barriles have passed Dr.Talamontes name and number around for many years. I do not know of any bad reports only the best! His
son is excellent also and so is his Ex-wife. Son used to work out of his office, Estrada has her own office. They do get very busy at times and we
think they are the best. Los Barriles has a new Dentist that has been brought here from TJ, he is setting up in the Gringo Plaza. Local benefactors
have paid his way here to serve both the Americans and also to do free work on children in the area as a community service. He comes with the best
recommendation possible, Dr. Marcial Ceballos who has earned our respect and trust as the local Amerimed Doctor.
