Odontex Mexico City

Front tooth crown

I'm self-employed and travel a lot, so I'm used to getting creative to make health care work for me (read: by leaving the U.S.) I've seen a lot of dentists outside the U.S. for cleanings, cavities, etc, but this was the first time I'd done anything major outside the U.S., so was a tiny bit nervous. I went in principally to have my front crown replaced, a pretty big deal to color match properly and get to look just like the other front tooth. Communication was excellent and in perfect English, both in booking the appointment with office personnel, asking questions beforehand and with the doctor in-office. Dr. Rodriguez is very nice and friendly. I ended up having my front crown replaced, one inlay, one filling, and a rigid mouth guard, all done extremely well and all for a fraction of the price it would have cost in the U.S. without insurance. I'd definitely go back if I needed something major done, or happened to be back in Mexico City, or Tijuana where the other office is. Extremely pleased!

Dentist Consultation, veneers, crowns, extractions, cavity fillings, etc

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rodriguez. Not a fan of going to the dentist at all, especially considering how sensitive my teeth are and how difficult they (the nerves) are to numb. Dr. Rodriguez did a great job gaining my trust by going slow when I needed him to and, well, basically demonstrating excellent ability in his work. Unfortunately, I like him so well, I will now only go to him for all my dental care (which doesn't sound bad except for the fact that Mexico is far away). A very nice guy, a great dentist, very economical, what more could anyone ask for?

Also, you can pay in US dollars (oppose to pesos) so you don't have to pay the foreign transaction fees that most banks charge when you use your card overseas.

I went to the Mexico City location. Make sure to get directions as it wasn't easy for me to find by myself. You have to leave your ID at the building security. The staff doesn't speak English, but that doesn't matter because the Doctor is always there to interpret if needed (and he speaks great English...and apparently some level of French too).

Mexico City is a great place with tons to do while your waiting for the lab to make your crowns/veneers. Chapultepec Park (including the world renowned Museum of Anthropology) is 20min walk from Odontex (or take one of the many buses right out front that say "Chapultepec Metro"). Be sure to try saudero tacos at some point during your stay :)

Endontic Therapy

To be honest, I wasn't sure what quite to expect when I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Rodriguez. One time in the past, had seen a different Dentist in Mexico, who had claimed to be a Periodontist and it turned out to not be the case. Moreover, finding and locating a Dentist in Mexico City is not the easiest task.

I knew that had issues with holes in 2 Molar Teeth, and that I needed a Dentist with specialties in Endotontics and Crowns.

I have to report that I was more than 150% satisfied with Dr. Rodriguez and his Team. He explained the all of procedures and options in great detail, and we worked out a Treatment Plan together.

Not only that, one of the Molar Teeth had developed an infection below the Root and into the Bone. I was able to come in the next day and his Endontist cleaned out and removed the infection- and didn't even charge me.

Dr. Rodriguez went above and beyond any other Dentist would normally do for their Patient: The Crown installation was to be the final Procedure. The Doctor knew that I was leaving Mexico on Monday, so on Sunday he drove more than 1 hour from his home, just to see me.

In my lifetime, I had never had this kind of awesome experience from a Dentist. In fact, I actually had a previous Root Canal done Washington DC- for the same tooth. This goes to show you that Dentists in the United States aren't always "better than other Dentists".

Dr. Rodguez is a great Dentist, and I will have even more procedures done by him in the future, even if it means traveling to Mexico!

Very pleased with the office and procedures. Friendly staff, great Doctor!

Very pleased with the treatment.

I was quite pleased with Dr Rodriguez proffessionalism. Being a U.S. resident I was aprehensive. However, Dr. Rodriguez made everything work smoothly. From accomodations to coordinating appointments with flight schedule not to mention state of the art procedure Dr. Rodriguez was outstanding.

Yes, the work is great all my family and friends were shocked at the quality of work and I am well pleased.

The treatment was excellent and could not have been better. It is almost a year and everything is perfect.

Price was exactly as quoted. English spoken was excellent. Treatment was explained thoroughly. Appointments were made quickly and were on time. Personnel were courteous and professional. Instruments were new. Procedures were modern. I was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the whole experience.
