I need serious work done; extraction, implants, fillings, the works.

I'm considering Mexico, I've done a little homework, looks like there quite a few places dedicated to providing comprehensive work for a fraction of what Canadian/American dentists are gouging patients for.

Any done this before, or know someone who has? Is it legit, is it lasting quality, etc. etc.?

What fraction? Two-thirds? Mexico is hardly a bargain anymore. I'd much rather go to a dentist in Thailand, but if you're stuck in the wagecage like the average burger, you might not be able to turn your medical tourism trip into a monthlong holiday.

Thailand was great for me... 15 years ago. Do your research but I recommend it

I heard Poland and Hungary are good for teeth. Turkey is catching up. I thought about going to Turkey to fix my crappy hair too.

Thailand was ok for me. Downsides are (1) they love to inflict pain on patients (same as about half the dentists in the U.S.), and (2) they pushed the "you're grinding your teeth" scam on me and talked me into a custom mouthguard. Don't fall for the mouthguard scam, Anon. Learn from my mistake.

I done it, there’s more scammers and inexperienced dentists. The only way to know if there legit is by visiting them, asking questions, then consider.

If I had money I would go get beard implants. I have a long mane but facial hair. I feel like a troon sometimes.

Since I was born in México, the government paid for my dentist bills at their government buildings. The only thing they couldn’t do is remove the tissue infection i had. Lucky there was a professional surgeon who wants to do it within 3,000 pesos (173 United States dollars). Mind you, that legal procedure is required, i have zero experience for when foreigners ask for our government assistance. México doesn’t cover everything, as i said. But you will get professional support to help you instead of random people you meet at the sidewalk store. Lastly, i live in a small city. I heard of stories like México city having you paid for assistance or waiting 5 months or something. Each state has different assistance policies so don’t just assume big government means easy access.

I went to Los Algodones in 2019-20 just before covid lockdowns to get multiple implants, a root canal, fillings and bonding. Before I went, I had 2 dentists here in Philly give me an 'estimate' of work to be done and sent it to the Mexican dentist. The price difference was big...28k for US, 12k for Mexican. I let my mouth go to shit with drinking and drugs so that was on me...but all the dentists said I had too many good teeth left so I wasn't a good candidate for all on fours.
I went there for 3 separate visits, each about a week long. I was amazed that they did so much dental work within a week at a time.
Overall, with me losing time at work, aifare, dental work, all of it ended up being 18k total, so for me it was worth it...and the Mexican dentist was fantastic...clean, well educated, all of them top quality. Would recommend though only if you need alot of work done or you live near the border because the cost benefit isn't as big today as it used to be.

Quite a few people are going for Brazil.
You'll need to contact them beforehand to setup the whole procedure. A lot have English speakers and help on the process. Usually it goes:
Stay 1 month or 1-2 weeks for the whole procedure. You fly back. Then you need to find a local doc in your country for checkups, while updating the Brazilian one. Travel back for any big changes and/or finalization.
