Reply to comment by SSSS_car_go in $900 out of pocket with 50% insurance coverage for a crown (dentist) … joke or reality? by asturDC

Good point. Last month I went to Guatemala City to a super modern dentist’s office with better equipment and facilities than I’ve seen here. He spoke perfect English and was educated at a well known US dental school. I had extensive work done under sedation (a licensed anesthesiologist works from the office) for hundreds vs the thousands I would pay here in DC. My wife has had a root canal and crowns done by him. I will go back for my regular appointments there and will have typical / regular dental work and check ups there.

My wife works at the US Embassy in Guatemala City. She took the recommendations of her neighborhood listserv type group.
