My wife and I own a hotel/restaurant, La Posada del Arte, in the Andean tourist destination town of Bańos, Ecuador.

The clinic is a few blocks from our hotel. We have been using it since we moved here 4 years ago. Being from Chicago, I was at first reluctant to use the clinic because of the "bare-bones" appearance and lack of "hi-tech" looking equipment.
However, after Dr. Cordova replaced three fillings (at $10 apiece), took care of a few cavities and fixed a faulty bridge, I decided to give him the project of basically re-constructing my "bite" by putting crowns on ALL my worn-out bottom teeth (10 of them). It involved two extractions, a root canal, and grinding down all my bottom teeth. He took molds and sent them to the lab in Quito, where three sections of porcelain crowns were made. For the preliminary fitting, a technician from the Quito lab was actually present as a consultant. There needed to be a slight adjustment in the fit but aside from this, the entire process was done in a timely and professional manner. I have my new teeth and they are, well, just like new. I can chew the toughest steak. I eat things even when I'm not hungry just to use my new teeth. They are perfect.


The total fee was $1650. (Plus $30 for the root canal). My dentist in Chicago had given me an estimate of $10,000 for the work.

So with that personal experience, we are offering a "Dental Tourism" package at our hotel.

You can get your teeth fixed where you live, or you can get your teeth fixed AND enjoy a nice vacation in Ecuador for the same price or less.
