The procedure is a highly technical and effective technique that is able to eliminate significant visual impairment.  Both eyes can be done at the same time, although most surgeons require at least a few days in between. The procedure is relatively painless, and local anesthetic drops are used with a mild form of sedation. Some patients feel a need to sensation for a day or two afterward. LASIK eye surgery also replaces the use of scalpels in such a sensitive area of the body, reducing the number of complications that result from more traditional surgical procedures.

Have you ever had trouble finding a dentist you liked?

More people are finding themselves turned away from dental offices because their dental issues are too complex or too time consuming compared to reimbursement for such services.

Dental treatments in the United States are growing increasingly expensive, and individuals looking for traditional dental fillings, extractions, bonding, dental crowns or bridges or even more complex procedures such as bone grafts or dental cyst operations find that the costs of cosmetic dentistry are astronomical.

In the United States, a single tooth extraction may cost up to $650. Travelers venturing south of the border to Mexico, Costa Rica and even further south into Panama, Guatemala, Columbia or Argentina can save between 50% and 75% on the same dental procedures, with the same quality as those performed in the United States.

Dental medical facilities such as Wellness Dental, located in Costa Rica, or the Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry facility in Cancun, Mexico offer American and international patients superlative dental expertise at a fraction of the costs found in the United States.
