I have a buddy who needed some major dental work after radiation
treatment for cancer destroyed his teeth. He was quoted around $40,000
for the work. He found a dental clinic in Cancun that cost him around
$11,000 for the same work. For $15K he got a vacation (I guess) and
top-notch dental work. He sent me a link to the place and it was
pristine and had the newest and best equipment. They even had hotel
discounts and would pick him up and drop him off. I can get that link
again for anyone interested.
