maybe since there is a larger population and easier access via plane there are some well regarded dentists available there?
I stay in Mulege so this would be ideal really....any suggestions?
much appreciated!

yes, dentists in Loreto, but from your other posts it sounds like you are looking for major work, implants, etc. our dentists are generalists. one
has an oral surgeon come up from La Paz every month or two to do implants, etc, but you might as well go to La Paz as play Russian roulette as to
if/when he will appear.
cleanings, fillings, are local. other stuff is sent out....crowns need to be made elsewhere for example, and one of my friends is still working on
fine tuning/filing his own dentures...he tried two dentists in town and neither got it right.
I checked with my dentist here awhile ago re implants (he's the one who has someone come in) he required a panoramic X-ray, which cannot be done in
Loreto, nearest place is Constitucion, a get acquainted visit with said visiting doctor, then post implant, then wait, etc etc etc. as I recall the
total price was to had been in the 1000US range, but that's been awhile

Thanks for this information...with limited time and money to spend hanging out in La Paz and trying to find someone that can do the work, etc .... I
guess it is time to figure out Plan B....
