Stetic Implant & Dental Centers review: Terrible Experience at Stetic Implant & Dental Centers 52

I wrote a good review which was all true from brenderson2006@yahoo.com but did not know that I would get an infection on my implant. My bone and tissue were infected, red, swollen and painful. The implant that was placed was too large and of poor quality and worked it's way out due to infection. Dr. Tacher is not a good doctor and I doubt he is an implantologist. I would never go again to Mexico for dental or any medical. Our doctors in the states have more controls set on them and graduation requirements. I am a dental hygienist whereas by law I can't fill teeth here but in Mexico I could fill, pull or do whatever. My daughter who is a dentist tried to warn me and I would not listen. It does not matter how nice Manny and Theresa are (and they are), you will receive awful dental work that will have to all be redone. I have 3 other teeth they worked on that were simple tooth colored fillings and all had to be redone. They offered to redo the IMPLANT and i just told them no thanks. I don't know if they filed with my dental insurance company or not and don't care. What goes around, comes around. Dr Tacher would not call me back after putting in an inadequate implant. Also, a dentist told me that they do not have the proper machinery (xray, cat) to measure the jaw bone to do an implant properly. Stay away from Mexico and get it done right. No room sometimes for mistakes. It is not far into the pulp chamber of a tooth and when you get there it has a nerve and then it goes into a root canal. Please remember that I am a US Registered Dental Hygienist and know what I am telling you. When you read good comments, they are coming from " invented" customers. Call for info [protected]. Brenda

hi i wanted to share my experience with stetic ... first off manny is great . the dentists i have seen have been very helpful and patient with my case . my treatment has been pretty difficult as i had no teeth on my upper ridge and needed implants and a fixed arched placed with also several implants in m y lower jaw . they have not only helped me with my hotel costs because the treatment is taking longer then expected, but i have been taken out to eat on a few occasions . i respect this clinic and have and will be continuing to refer people to them . the cost of the work at stetic was about 30, 000 cheaper than i could have gotton in done my home state . nebraska. i am almost finished getting the permanent teeth and couldnt be happier at this point . i will include my email address so if anyone wants to see photos or have any questions i would be more then happy to talk more about my experience . holly

Hi Everyone,
My experience at the "Stetic Dental Clinic" was just in the last two days. I drove a round trip of over 16 total hours for this dental savings and stayed two nights at the Weslaco Inn. My experience was perfect. Let me explain why: I did my homework and checked on the credentials of the dentists. Everyone should be informed that I am a Registered Dental Hygienist by the State of Texas and I know good dental care. I have been in charge in several clinics and I have 30+ years under my belt. When I say someone is good, it means just that. First off, I could care less if the dentist can speak my language as long as there is an interpretor. I only speak one language, but I am highly intelligent and a great clinician. I have also been employed as a top professor in the Junior College level at a dental hygiene school in Texas RN in medical. One of the most gentle dentist at Nuevo Progreso, MX was Dr. Edgar Guerrero and besides being kind and courteous, he was very intelligent. When he worked on my mouth, he had that professional touch that takes years to achieve. He did not speak English but the interpretor was excellent very present. Dr. Guerrero is also an orthodontist(straightens the teeth). Dr. Samuel Levy Tacher did my dental implant during the procedure, I never felt any pain. The medication he administered orally kept me totally relaxed. Dr. Tacher is an assistant professor at UT Houston College of Dentistry and highly skilled. He flys and works in four offices to spread his vast knowledge. I know that my jaw is a bit swollen and sore now but this is normal. He will give you pain medicine and ibuprophen for the swelling. It doesn't last long and with warm salt water rinse, you will be just fine. An implant lasts a lifetime and in the future, they will only replace missing teeth with implants. Another advantage: no tooth structure is removed on the adjoining teeth as in having a bridge. The better choice by far is an implant. If you don't have the money, they will let you pay it out because they really care about you and what is best for your mouth. I get to return in December for the crown and can't wait. Manny and Theresa are both angels and pick you up and bring you back. You will never find more honest, caring people who take pride in their work ethic. They drive you anywhere and so, you relax and have NO WORRY. They even took me out to eat and paid for it out of kindness. I needed to buy something over in Mexico and he helped me find it. I ate at a restaurant called "The Red Snapper Restaurant" and it was wonderful and I did not get sick. I did this right after my dental work, but was very careful. You meet other people from all over the Nation. I would say check out your doctor and after verifying with the dental school student affairs office. I recommend staying at the Weslaco. It is only 55.00 night (special rate for Stetic) and enjoy your wonderful visit. My oral surgeon in Waco, Texas was going to charge 3500. and Dr. Tacher is charging 1000.00 (August special) 900.00 in Tijuana in the month of September. For a professional quality implant one where you don't have complications later, this is an unbelievable price. It is because Stetic really cares and wants it to be affordable to everyone. I have to add my travel expense but I actually enjoyed seeing Mexico and yes it is a safe little town. If you are scared and need an escort, Stetic can provide one for 20.00 a day. I know this is long but I was very anxious. As a hygienist, I wanted it to be perfect dentally and my front teeth look like they did when I was 17. Take a picture with you of your old smile and that helps them with reshaping them. The female dentist is good at the shaping part. My teeth are exact and that is hard to do. Thanks for reading and if you need to call :

I know that the contemporary style, but as I said, it is the dentist and staff that make the deal for me not the pricey, marble on the floor.
While I was there, I had a panoramic xray with a new machine. It was properly taken by the assistant; I know what they look like, how to take them and how to read them. Both of the dental assistants were absoutely gorgeous and on their game. There is a man there named John who can answer any question you may have and then some. He is an interpretor and speaks Japanese, Spanish and English and is very personable and intelligent. He is also a professional chef and made us coffee. This office gives meds to premed you if you are nervous. I actually feel asleep in the chair and would wake myself up snoring. This is how relaxed I was. I have never done this in any other office.
A word to the wise, find out what your dentist's credentials are, this means his specialty, where he graduated from dental school, where he did residency, if he specialized at what College of Dentistry and verify it by calling that particular college. There are only three in Texas.
