Maybe it can be done in one trip to Mexico if it's a straight-forward job, but there always seem to be complications that require multiple visits and procedures when done in Alberta.
In order to just prepare my bottom jaw to accept a final full upper denture (on 4 implants), I needed 3 visits to my regular dentist for root canals, then a visit to a specialist for 'directional drilling' of 2 more root canals, then 2 more visits to my regular dentist for crowns. By the time the dust's settled, over $30,000 spent in the past year for a full upper denture on 4 implants, and a 3 tooth lower denture 'bridge, on 2 more implants. I should have moved to Mexico!
I think I'm going to retire my big-bore rifles and stick with low recoil from here on in!
