Suse Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Can anyone recommend a dentist that does excellent cosmetic dentistry in the city of Chapala? With hopefully access to digital technology? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 If you are truly narrowing your search to only the "City of Chapala", you will have left out all the better (by Gringo standards) dentists at Lakeside. I doubt very seriously any dentist in Chapala proper is using digital technology! If on the other hand you were actually talking about 'Chapala Lakeside" dentistry, the only practice that I know of.... but I don't necessarily know about every practice.... that is using digital technology is Dental Express in west Ajijic. Dr. Edgard Macias has brought in and is using the Cerec system to precisely 'engineer' what is being done... crown, bridge, etc..... then the 'end product' is built overnight ready for placement with precise margins the next day. About 2 years ago I had Dr. Edgard "build" a 3-tooth bridge for me when I the tooth in question could not be replaced with an Implant. 2 days later I had the 3-tooth bridge... with amazing margins and perfect occlusion. While I am not passing judgement on any other the other staff at Dental Express, I would insist that Dr. Edgard do the work for me if/when I need something similar again.

Suse Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 We will be staying in Chapala so had hoped to see a dentist in that city, however if you believe higher quality dentistry would be available elsewhere I'm listening! I had read some posts suggesting Dental Express was not the highest quality. So thank you for your feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just to confuse matters. I had a crown from dental express and absolutely no problem. Going back for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoodle22 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I had an appointment for a cleaning, when I got there I was given an exam by a brand new inexperienced dentist. What a waste of my time, I have extremely complex problems w pain, she made no comment about her observations of my exam. lol. Though the owner may indeed do very good work. Too bad the scheduling was so screwed up, I am afraid to go back, since they did not do what I made the appointment for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Dr. Haro's office in Riberas does very good work and they are fairly close to Chapala. They have been around for years with many satisfied customers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guiness Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Dr. Christine in the plaza next to Quality care. She is excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Dr. Eloy Barrigan in Mirasol. Our dentist every since RVgringo recommended him and we have always been very satisfied. Something like 8 years now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Blair Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 All good recommendations. Of them all, I second Dental Express IF you get treated by the owner. IMO, if anyone says "Dental Sandra," stay 100 miles away from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Between Dr. Eloy Barragan's office in Mirasol and Dr. Edgar at Dental Express in west Ajijic my wife and I have taken care of some unknown-to-us problems this trip. I ALWAYS start with Dr. Barragan's office and have never been disappointed. And if I need a bridge or crown(s) I go right to Dr. Edgar as he uses the latest dental 'tool kit'.... CAD/CAM. Crowns and bridges done in a day rather than the normal 2-3 weeks when a Guadalajara lab designs/makes the crowns. And the occlusion and margins are always perfect as the computer is much more precise than a mold. This trip 'we' had 2 root canals, 1 root disection, 3 fillings under old crowns and 6 crowns! I am not going to even think about how much that would have cost us in Colorado! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I agree with all the 'yeses' for Dr. Hector Haro in Riberas. .....Dental Express, on the other hand, NEVER again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't the first one to say that. Over the years doctors Barriagn and Haro have been the standard bearers for quality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
