Dental Bridgework in the Philippines

Jenny Neethling - Australia

I had been having problems with my bridge for about one year when I went to see our local dentist. The diagnosis was that I had an abcess under my bridge on one of my front teeth. He said that he would have to remove my bridge to do a root canal on the tooth and that the bridge could not be placed back, I would need a totaly new bridge in its place. I asked for a price and he made some calculations and told me that it would cost me around $18,000.00 for the work that has to be done. I thought about it for months and decided that THIS WAS A DEPOSIT ON A HOUSE! My husband suggested I get dentures but I have always hated the idea of that.

As a last resort I went on to the internet and googled dentures. This is where I found a letter from a person that had the same problem and they suggested Dr Garcia and his Team. I thought about it for two days and booked my flights for the following week. I must say that I was very happy with his work and his staff as well as the hotel that he uses. It was a very different but pleasant experiance to have been in the Philippines. I thank Dr Garcia for that.

It has been 7 months since my bridge was replaced at around a quarter of the cost locally but that includes my flights from New Zealand and back. Dr Garcia did even more than the local dentist was going to do and still I could not believe my account balance. Needless to say I had some spending money left.

I am very pleased to say that I would recomend Dr Garcia and his team to anyone.

Thank you again Dr Garcia.
