 I don’t know where you’re located. But when a family member needed extensive dental work including implants placed, they went to Mexico to save costs. If you need help locating a reliable dentist/ oral surgeon there. I have contacts to help. I understand travel may not be possible for you.

 I will discuss this with @TheSamePuss and some family, and we will see if this could be an option. If it is, I’ll reach out in DMs if that’s ok.

 I’m from Mexico & I concur.

Dentistry for foreigners in Mexico is a huge industry … 

Hopefully this is an option for you as I’m sure it would definitely be less of a burden.

 I concur, other countries such as Mexico for sure.  People sometimes think they get less care in Mexico, that is nearly always the opposite.  Much better care, and much cheaper.

 I’ve heard the same. Look up Los Algodones Mexico. Really big for dental work.

 100% this @nobody  You can get the surgical extractions + the all on 6 implant dentures for much less than your extractions alone in Mexico or Columbia. I am happy to help guide you if you decide to go that route.
