Pain in the PocketbookBy Gary Scott * Natural Health Tip – Pain in the
Pocketbook Dental problems today can be a pain in the neck, the mouth and a real pain in the pocketbook. This does not have to be so as Steve merchant, our man in Ecuador, reports: Gary, I took one of our guests at El Meson to Ibarra (20 minutes from the hotel) to see the pain free laser dentist, Dr. Proano.
“The first thing you see is a striking modern building next to some parkland. Here a number of doctors, specialists and our laser dentist are practicing from modern offices.
Dr. Proano’s Reception
Pain Free Dental Laser “Where was the paperwork? Here, in Ecuador, litigation hasn't run rampage and form filling, if there is any, is kept to an absolute minimum. Reputation is everything, so doctors and dentists build their list of clientele after years of good service within the community. “The doctor saw straight away that she looked good for implants below but he was not sure if she had enough bone for an implant in the upper row. He needed xrays to confirm. We took in a taxi, ($1), and whizzed 8 blocks to an office that specializes in dental x-rays. An incredibly 15 short minutes later we were back with the doctor.
Dr. Proano “He studied the x-rays and spent nearly 10 minutes explaining possibilities. His initial supposition was right. The patient needed a bone graft on the upper jaw but the lower jaw was ready to receive the implants. “Now the good news. The quote was $1,000 per implant. The patient’s face registered surprise. A US dentist had quoted $15,000 for 3 implants and suggested she needed a bone graft on the lower jaw, without taking x-rays. She suspected he might be fishing for extra business. “Dr. Munoz, the implant specialist, has twenty years of experience and speaks good English. He has carried out thousands of surgeries over the years. “I ask Dr. Proano some typical costs. These are listed
below. “A further advantage is that given some notice Dr. Proano will schedule in patients for a complete procedure over a 2-3 week period. This allows for would-be patients to sightsee and enjoy Ecuador while still receiving top quality treatment.
“As we left, our guest, who was leaving shortly for the USA was already planning her next trip back and wondering which friends would come on the next trip so they could also get some much needed dental treatment without so much pain in the mouth or budget.” Thanks, Steve.
