A few months ago I fell and broke my tooth off at the gum line. I went to the dentist and was given 2 options. An implant for $5000 or a 3-tooth bridge for $4000, both after insurance which only covers 50%. I immediately called my dear friend, Lorraine. She immediately said, come visit. (She has lived in Ecuador for about 4 years.) she started asking around and found Dr. Jairo Lara, whoso office is within walking distance. She went to his office and was told that a bridge would cost $1500. I came to Ecuador and met with Dr. Lara. He took me to get X-rays then we sat down to discuss my options.
Dr. Lara uses resin for fillings and Zirconia for crowns. He also explained that the crowns completely cover the original tooth, clear down into the gum. That protects the tooth from getting food in and causing additional cavities. I decided to get all my upper teeth re-crowned. In the processes of removing the old crowns, he discovered that several of my crowns had cavities under the crowns. The new crowns should fully protect my teeth from getting new cavities for at least 15 years.
I am extremely pleased with Dr. Lara. Not only does he do exceptional work, but he uses extreme care. The only time I had to have any lidocaine was when he pulled my broken tooth. If you need dental work, or know anyone that needs dental work, I highly recommend Dr Lara. His WhatsApp number is 098 344 8149 and his email is: jairolarasalinasod.26@gmail.com. His English is fairly good but I also used translate.
