...whatever you think of the idea, at least contact Dr. Oscar Torres of Pacific Dental. In Tijuana. Yes, I know. But in 2003 he fixed a similarly bad problem for me for about 1/4 what it would have cost in the US, including the flights to San Diego. And he is a very experienced expert at this kind of work, much more so than most US dentists. US medical people love to spread horror stories about medical tourism, but my reconstruction is still fine after 20 years. Also nowadays they have better services like shuttles that will take you directly from your hotel to the office and back, which didn't exist when I had my work done.

Added: I wrote an article about my experience which inspired a lot of people, but is waaaaay out of date. Here is a more recent testimonial though by someone who was inspired by my article:

I doubt your problem is as bad as that of someone who has years of meth mouth to fix.
