This wasn’t just a dentist appointment for some dental work; this appointment was going to change my life. I’ve had bad teeth my whole life and haven’t had a decent smile in over 20 years. My father recently passed away and he left me enough to get my teeth fixed in Mexico. I knew nothing about dentist in Mexico so I started reading online and came across Dr. Shirley Baker, I looked at her work and reviews and decided to leave a message. The next day Craig, her awesome assistant, called explained everything. Told me how many days we’d (My boyfriend and I) need to be there, called the hotel and booked our room, what to expect when we arrived and picked us up from the airport. We arrived at the office and it was straight to business. Dr. Baker did her assessment, x-rays and molds, the initial appointment is short and to the point. She prints you a paper with the work and the price so you know exactly what you are paying for. I was supposed to have more work than I paid for so I’m waiting to see if I get my money refunded. She accepts cash app and Venmo so be sure to have your limits raised because she offers a discount. The second day work begins, I had a root canal, an extraction, and 23 crowns put in, my boyfriend had a root canal, a crown and a deep deep cleaning. Our smiles are beautiful, it had been so long since I smiled naturally I’ve forgotten how but I haven’t stopped practicing! If you get a lot of crowns make sure your mouth isn’t asleep when she aligns your bite, my mouth was and I couldn’t tell and now the dentist here want $500 to fix it.
This whole experience made me nervous but Dr. Baker and her team did EVERYTHING in their power to make me calm from the moment we were picked up till we were dropped off. The hotel was right next to the office and the workers are fabulous but there wasn’t a ton to do for 8 days. Pool would have been awesome, I wasn’t in the office as much as I thought I’d be and the tv is in Spanish.
I highly recommend Dr. Baker and her team, as a matter of fact I recommended her before I got back to the states. There’s nothing like having a beautiful confident smile!!! Also Dr. Baker dresses so delightfully it was fun seeing some of shoe collection.
