my mom and dad go to mexico once a year, whether they need it or not, to do dental exams and cleanings and root canals, they claim the fillings used are a better metal than the usa uses and it is much cheaper and depsite what you think it is also safe my mom has been a dr. for 10= yrs and she trusts them, and like someone said you can get good legal drugs for the pain.which i am sure there will be and for that i wish you a very speedy recovery.

there are some surgeons that offer payment plans. kinda like how u buy a car. u just make payments. id ask around about that. if u cant get an answer from one surgeon, keep asking others.

get it done in india,, loads of western standard clinics at 10% of western prices,,, have a great holiday plus treatment for way less than the cost of treatment alone none

I guess it depends on where you live. Is there a dental/oral surgery school close to you? Here, in Texas, I went through about 30 surgeries at the dental school (Utx.. SanAntonio).. they charge much less and you always have the chief of surgery there to make sure all is going well.. But, the residents and interns have to learn somewhere!
I've had both TMJ and orthognathic surgeries.. prolly need ogs again AND definitely need my TMJoints replaced AGAIN,, so, I feel for you! The dental schools only charge about 2,000 for ogs.. and they will usually allow you to make a payment plan! Let me know how or if this works out for you.
Hey, and PLEASE do not go to have this done in India.. if you're in the states.. You need to be close to home after this sort of thing. People who suggest your going out of the country have simply NOT been there!
