Dentists at Lakeside

In the past, I have used Dr. Angel Gustavo Medeles on Zaragoza for a couple of minor things; teeth cleaning and the replacement of a few fillings. He is extremely gentle and I was certainly satisfied with his work and his prices. Now I am looking at some much more involved proceedures. Basically I need the whole front end of my mouth rebuilt.

I've also heard many good things about a Dr. Haro and his office. Would like to hear from any of you who have had extensive work done here in the area and any suggestions you may have. This is not something that I want to deal with more than once.

About a year ago, I broke off about 1/4 of one of my upper molers. I went to Dr. Haro at the suggestion of a friend. Since I was returning to the states in less than two weeks, he didn't have time to do a crown, so just "built" up the tooth. When I got home to the states, I went to my regular dentist, who said the work looked very good, but she put in a "pre-authorization" request with my dental insurance so I could get a crown if the repair broke. So far, it is holding up fine, and I have avoided having to get a crown. <*grin*> In addition, if it matters to you, I took a dental insurance claim form to Dr. Haro, and he filled it out using the standard "ADA" codes that are required by the insurance company. I sent in my form and got reimbursed for about half of the cost.

I am not SURE, but I think my friend had him do a bridge for her, and she was very pleased. Another mexican dentist had done her last one, and it never did fit right. The one from Dr. Haro fits good, though it was more expensive than the other dentist.
