Ive been with the same dentist for years, even when I was living in the states I would travel here to get dental care (and vacation). I always found the cost to be extremely affordable, perhaps because I was comparing to US dental costs which are astronomical. I recently got a TON of work done about 6 fillings (i know, i know) and it was less than $300. I find to be extremely affordable. Not sure what you are looking for, the word cheap is not how I would want to describe my dentist! LOL.

Anyhow, dentists names is Hildemaro Arvelo and Sandra Arvelo (husband and wife team). They are located near Lope de Vega in Naco. What I dont have is the office number. Ill find it and post it later on. Well worth it. You gotta love a dentist that makes sure you feel no pain. At least I do.

They may work slower, but i have always preferred slow and painless to fast with any pain. Work is high quality, and they do all types of dental work, including dentures, crowns, etc. Cost is a minimal fee plus materials.
I can confirm this. I went 5 years ago for a root canal, absolutely no pain, I actually fell asleep (late night! ) during the procedure.

I think the cost was materials only and came to 150 pesos.

The only problem was that the X-ray lab was across the street so twice I had to go there complete wuth a rubber dam and the little apron around my neck!!

The email address for the dentist I mentined in a post a while back is harvelo65@yahoo.com. His name is Hildemaro Arvelo and they are located near Lope de Vega across from Carabela and next to Luis Munoz River school. They do general dentistry and specialize in dental implants, root canals etc. I highly recommend them. Affordable and quality professional service. (Not cheap, thats just a creepy word to use for a dentist!)

PUCMM also has a Dental Clinic and it has an emergency room...

There are 10 or 15 good inexpensive dentists around my house. I normally recommend
La Centro Dental Cibao on Sabana Larga just before Restauración in Santiago: Dr. Rita Muñoz...809 971 5430

How do you get contacts to UNIBE, would you have any contact details? - Also, can you reserve ahead of time? Need some somewhat complex dental works - a bit quasy but on the other hand, if they are final year students and supervised by a good teacher, I guess it can't be much different from a graduated novice.
