I have been undergoing treatment for around 8 months now. Seven implants, root canal work, crowns, etc.

I researched quite a bit before choosing The Dental Center (Mercy Lane, Belize City).

Throughout the treatment I have been impressed with the level of expertise and customer service.

I did research going to Cancun but when taking in to account travelling expenses, overnight stays etc I concluded that it would be less expensive to use The Dental Center.

I am not at all disappointed with my choice/decision.

Good luck

I just had several crowns done by .Dr. Monica Vasquez聽 on 5th Ave in Corozal.聽 I was very pleased with her work.
I've had some extensive work done as well and would highly recommend Dr. Pedro Habet/Dr. Hernandez. (Dental Center on Mercy Lane)
What is the average cost for a crown in Belize?
I paid US$300 or BZ$600 per tooth for a porcelain crown with a metal base.

50% on the first visit, after she did the prep work and a temporary cap - the balance on the final visit. There were 3 visits per tooth and took about 1 week to complete.
I think it all depends on what type of crown you have . I paid US$ 299 (BZ$ 598) for a porcelain/metallic crown and US$ 499 ( BZ$ 998) for a full porcelain crown. All done by/at The Dental Center.

Thanks everyones, for the helpful info. I got xrays done here so i could just hand them straight over to whom ill use. I had contacted Meg Ryan about a week ago so ,I think ill use her. Have an awesome day everyone!! 2 weeks and i'm there!!!!

to John Henry, when you had the implants done, what sort of anestesia was used?聽 聽local?聽 "twilight sleep"?聽 and how did it work?聽 聽I need extensive work, extractions and implants.聽 聽thnks聽 聽Kris
If I can chime in.聽 I had 4 implants done on the top and 3 on the bottom.聽 I have full false teeth and they fit like a dream.聽 I had all work done with a local.聽 It does take some time but well worth it.聽 I have had regular false teeth on the top for 35 yrs. One of the best thing I ever did.This was done in the US and cost me $12,000. I wish I had waited until we moved to Corozal (June'14); I imagine the cost would've been less than half that amount!!
They put me out with general anaesthetic (my wife had to accompany me for the journey home). It was a painless experience although I did have the benefit of painkillers for three days following the treatment.
